Former Formula 1 Driver Robert Kubica won the first two stages of the rally before being caught by Bryan Bouffier, who moved into the lead heading into the first days afternoon stages.

Bouffier led heading into the second day but was overtaken by Sebastian Ogier, following a lengthy spin on SS9. Kubica's rally ended on the same stage after sliding off the road under braking and being unable to recover onto the tarmac.

It was the first Monte Carlo Rally event since 2001 without Sebastien Loeb.

gollark: Why not run your critical services under Linux with its generally faster boot?
gollark: Good for, I don't know, video editing and whatnot.
gollark: As I said though, I don't think it's usually the bottleneck and I do not think it would eke out more than a few seconds at most for boot.
gollark: Oh, they dropped the 970's prices? In any case other 1TB disks are available for maybe £80-£90 and NVMe ones for a little more.
