On all events where Meeke, Latvala, Neuville had tech issues and had to retire.

Let's see. The Polo was tailor made to Ogier's driving style (like the DS3 and the C4 were to Loeb's). On the other hand, the Fiesta was developed by different drivers (mainly Tanak, Matt Wilson and to a lesser extent Ostberg). Ogier had to adapt to a pre existing situation. Plus, the M Sport Fords were always made to work with different styles of driving and not purpose built for a single driver like the VW and the Loeb Citroen. So, this explains why Ogier is not dominant anymore. On the contrary, this year the car that has been proven to fit someone like a glove is the i20.
It`s not worth showing the facts that M-sport currently has a top car both speed and reliability vise on all surfaces to someone who apparently has been bullied as a kid by some Ford owners or failed to get Malcom Wilsons autograph sometime or whatever the reason is for not seeing what`s going on. I`m not a M-sport/Ford fan by no means but still it`s clear they have a very good car.
