Not completely. Suninen lost brakes in Portugal, Evans had an electrical glitch in Portugal and a misfire in Wales. Also more engine troubles in early 2017, plus Bouffier's complete engine failure in Corsica 2018, something that's more rare with the current cars.
Fair point about Portugal, but I'm still convinced Evans' Welsh misfire was a 'political' misfire and 2017 / 2018 engine troubles shouldn't really be brought into play now.
On balance, this season, the Ford does look bullet-proof in comparison to the Toyota.
Ogier is lucky that Tänak made the worst decision of all time in WRC when he left Toyota and joined Hyundai. This gave him opportunity at first place to join Toyota and collect more titles.
This is a gross twisting of reality. On very long straights, the cars from last year might go slightly faster, but the acceleration curve of the new cars and initial speed advantage gets them down...
