Overview
- Elfyn Evans triumphed by 14.3 seconds over Takamoto Katsuta, with Sami Pajari third and Oliver Solberg fourth to complete a Toyota 1-2-3-4.
- The win lifts Evans to 60 points and a 13-point lead over Monte Carlo winner Solberg at the top of the drivers' standings.
- Toyota’s back-to-back podium lockouts are the first since Citroen in 2010 and deliver a reported 51-point manufacturers' cushion over Hyundai.
- Hyundai lacked pace on the snow, with Adrien Fourmaux fifth and Thierry Neuville seventh after an off, a misted windscreen and a helmet-fastening penalty.
- Evans banked Super Sunday points and missed the Wolf Power Stage win by less than a tenth of a second as bonus points shaped the final tally.
