Possible mechanical issues is not the same as affecting the car's speed though.
Driver's, like people, dislike change. Given some time and development I'm sure they would still enjoy driving them.

Other than that, very interesting interview on his opinions and experiences of the aeros of the Fiesta WRC, C3 WRC and C3 R5.Quote:
I think the changes are going in the good way and I hope that can allow new manufacturers to enter into the Championship.
Very good interview but the most surprising thing for me was the would prefer the C3 to fiesta.
First and foremost: he is still a Citroen driver, of course he must still say his employer makes the best car.
Secondly, he only drove his private Fiesta, which was delivered to him at the very beginning of 2017. It was lagging behind in the development already in Sweden. He never got the benefit and results of the team testing, gathering data from rallies and developing the car. Remember how much the cars progressed during the first year especially in terms of aero? Look again at the videos from Rally Finland 2017 and how crazily the cars jump with the nose upwards.
Being a Citroen driver didn't prevent Ostberg to moan loud and clearly about the C3 R5 last year…
Anyway, it seems that drivers already on a WRC seat will keep complaining about the regs changes once they love the current cars, while the others are in favor of the new regs mainly because they hope it will bring more manus, therefore more seats.
He has newer been "political correct" in terms of team lojality, always straight forward in his sayings and no filters.
The fiesta adventure showed a lack of information from M-sport, and something happened between Adapta and the other team.

After the current corona virus situation, all WRC driver's should just be glad if they are able to drive anything again at all...
Events and car manufacturers will be in dire straits financially.
