On Friday, Neuville posted good times but span on SS4, ultimately losing second overall to Ogier. On Saturday, he posted more good times, taking lead before overnight halt. Thierry won all stages in Sunday and bagged the maximum points haul. Team mate Tanak lost half a minute as he slid off on icy SS3, backing off afterwards. Mikkelsen was third driver, using rally to get familiar with the car.

Ogier (pictured) was looking to extend his record of Monte Carlo victories but ultimately he had to settle for second, both in Saturday and on Power Stage. Teammate Evans took early lead but lost it after having to compete without hybrid for two stages.

M-Sport sported youthful driver line-up of Fourmaux (pictured) and Munster. Latter slid off ever so slightly but got stuck between tarmac's edge and road barrier, losing any chance of meaningful result. Fourmaux wasn't on speed despite posting an occasional good stage time, he beat only Mikkelsen who was learning the car and Katsuta and Munster who both had offs.
