Østberg claimed the down-shifting issues appeared mid-season after M-sport tried to increase engine performance. He had no issues first half of the season.
Anyway we are just running way off-topic. My conclusion still is that 2016 Fiesta was the slowest of the 4 factory cars.

@Andre Oliveira
That is assuming Ford return then?
Why would they pick Camilli and Suninen over Evans? Camilli is even having trouble keeping up with the top WRC2 guys. Suninen looks promising but it is still a bit early for him to get promoted permanently (probably).
The rest seems like good assumptions to me (Ford in scenario). Maybe guys like Tidemand and Veiby might play third or fourth car roles in Toyota and Citroen.

Guys, VW may spoil your nice discussion here. Ogier and Mikkelsen back to VW is my guess.

I know, but it's logical. Who keeps winning car in the garage? How stupid the VW management has to be to not understand that?

Give me your definition of logic. They pulled out for good therefore they will come back?
VW left because they have costly lawsuits against them and they couldn't afford it anymore. They also pulled Audi out of the Le Mans series which was the Golden Calf of the VW Group Motorsport department.
It would make no sense whatsoever to come back next year. They'd have to put up all the tents they tore down last year. Do you know what that costs?
The Polo also can't be run privately unless the other manufacturers approve which they won't before they can be sure that they developped their cars enough to run circles around the Polo.
So please, can we put this to bed now? It will not happen.

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
