Neuville delivered arguably the best drive of his WRC career to defeat nine-time Monte Carlo winner Sebastien Ogier by 16.1s after emerging victorious from an intense head-to-head battle.
To underline Neuville’s performance the Hyundai driver claimed a perfect victory, scoring the maximum 30 points under the new-for-2024 points scoring system. The Belgian topped the standings at the end of Saturday to scoop 18 points, before winning all three of Sunday’s stages to bag a maximum 12 points (seven for topping the Sunday standings and five for the Power Stage win).
