Sebastien Ogier started a fight in Monte Carlo with his VW Polo to retain the world title. The battle was anything but easy. The weather conditions were extremely difficult as there was a lot of rain and consequently a lot of water on the track, and later the racers were still struggling with snow. Despite a tough race, the best current world champion in the end was Sebastien Ogier, who managed to get from fourth to first place in one day. Robert Kubica started his first season with the M-Sport team and won the first two speed trials with his incredible style, before he was surprised by snow on the third speed test and fell to fourth place due to incorrectly chosen tires. Despite some problems, Kubica remained in the fight for the podium, but hopes for a good ranking floated on Saturday.
