Wins vs consistency
It is interesting to note that eventual Champion Waldegard won "only" two events against Mikkola's four but as Bjorn scored two more podium finishes than his team-mate, title went to swede.
Ford domination
Between them, Waldegard and Mikkola scored five wins for Ford. That left blue oval only four points short of theoretical maximum score as rest of the points came from Bjorn's two second places.
Unlucky ones
In DNF statistics two unlucky names stand out, Therier and Kullang. Both retired every time they started a rally.
Very even
Stage wins statistics reveals two very even pairs, championship aspirants Waldegard and Mikkola on the top and Alen and Vatanen two steps down. Both pairs scored either equal or almost equal number of stage wins!
