On paper, they had the best lineup for this year with the only team where all drivers had won rallies vs. other teams had only one rally winner. I think it's more down to their technical problems than the drivers.
I'm not convinced, but anyway, next year the competition will be stronger, so they have to keep that in mind.
I wouldn't put any money on that. His name is not Bernie. :p
