Bloody fantastic win for Paddon, to beat Ogier by such a margin is quite something. Seb said he wasn't pushing as it was too rough, but he looked pretty wide a couple times towards the end.
It looked to me that Seb was overdriving in the last stage, he was very sideways and missing apexes in a few places. Given how hard he pushed in the previous stage which was a lot rougher, I don't really buy his excuse.
Its possible that he might have used up his tyres too much with his big charge on the second-last stage, though he didn't say anything about that.
I'm glad its a public holiday here today after staying up until 4am watching the rally!

On a Brit note - When his R5 was working, and without a puncture Evans put in some storming times. Often 15-20 seconds faster than the other WRC2 cars, having also beaten Breen on the 2 stages that the car worked on the COI, while using the 'weaker' DMACK tyre. Really hope he gets some time in the WR Car this year - will be good to see if his overall pace has improved and how it compares to Ostberg, who carries on being incredibly consistent.
