It's a good scrap isn't it? The Ford, Hyundai and Toyota look to be quite even on performance - the drivers seemingly can make the difference this year.

Citroen are in trouble - Breen seems to be their most consistent driver but he's been hit by mechanical issues and that's knocking his confidence. Meeke is overdriving trying to compensate for the cars lack of performance and has made mistakes as a result. Mikklesen hasn't had the time in the car but looks to be fighting the car a lot. Lefevbre has been largely anonymous. Meeke is back for Finland and needs a clean event. I'm looking forward to seeing the new generation cars in Finland - they really should fly (in all respects!) but if the Citroen is a handful then potentially it'll be the car that suffers most.
