Greensmith says about Arctic

Although the result wasn’t great, the performance relative to Teemu [Suninen] who’s fought for wins in those conditions before was actually very strong

Greensmith's best stage time was 9th. Basically always the slowest WRC, except for SS2 where Ogier had road cleaning issues and SS10 where Loubet spun.

It's true that the Fiestas were often the two slowest WRC's, especially on the very fast stages, but Suninen managed to get to 4th on two stages and be clearly faster than Greensmith on a number of stages, like SS9 where Suninen lost 13.9s, Greensmith 24.6s.

The closest Greensmith got to a stage win was Portugal SS1 (0.5s). There's also other good stage positions in Portugal and Safari, but always losing by several seconds. And in many occasions Fourmaux was faster than him, even on gravel.

Greensmith may not be world champion material, but you can't take away that he made big strides up this year. If he continues along the same slop, he will become relevant with the big guys. Fingers crossed for him.
