WRC is becoming rather pointless affair. Ogier wins every rally, every power stage, most of the stages, leads even if he's sweeping the road. Again it was so, for sixth time this season.

March of the young drivers continued. Tanak thrived on conditions that resembled his native Estonian roads and briefly led before Ogier set things back to proper order. After that Ott battled with Latvala for 3rd - a battle which he won thanks to Jari-Matti's off.

Despite having latest spec car, Paddon wasn't able to pull off quite the same performance he did in Sardinia but nevertheless he still was best Hyundai. Latvala's final stage accident moved Paddon to 4th overall.

Citroen's rally really never took off. Meeke managed some good stage times amidst too many bad ones while Ostberg was lacklustre all through the rally.
