Logically, they won't. Meeke is ridiculously unreliable and Lefebvre is stupidly slow. Breen might have a chance, but he relies on the C3 not acting up. The team's in a bit of a mess.

You're forgetting they'll have the best starting order on the next events. Besides, the C3 is fantastic, Breen is a future champ and Meeke, with his 'on the ditch or at the podium' motto, is the most spectacular driver around. No doubt they'll manage to sort it out. Fingers crossed for them!
It maybe be that they win a few rallies.
But cmon it's the most successful manufacturer since 2000. Now we are 5 rallies into the season, and they have 0 chance for any of the titles. Their best driver is on 7th place and they last in manufacturer points, even compared with Toyota who never entered more than 2 cars and are new this year.
Surely its reasonable to expect a bit more after they took a year off preparing?
This starting order advantage talk is getting tiresome. It is only 1 day, and not the longest one.
Also now that the Championship standings are more representative to the actual strength of the drivers the disadvantage is more even in the top flight. Neuville now starts as third which doesn't serve him much better road conditions than the first starter that is Ogier.
Only saying what I see and the lack of comment since from team & driver speaks volumes..
