I’m not going to pretend he could become Mr. Consistent but there probably is some truth in the point he is having to overdrive the thing in order to make it perform.
I’d still take him above Evans, Suninen (at the moment), Breen, Ostberg, Paddon, Sordo, maybe even Latvala & Mikelssen.

The DS3 was a reliable car but it didn't really stop Meeke from crashing.

The C3 seems to have improved a lot the last few months. Though it may still need some further refining, as is the case for each manufacturer striving to reach the top step, i think its a decent car now and in capable hands can challenge for podiums outright or win rallies---no need for over-driving and using that as an excuse for unnecessary crashes.
i don't like to use this reference point, but i will, Loeb seemed to be doing fairly well with it in his recent rallies, and he's been out of action for a long time prior. At this level, i think its very difficult to win stages, be on the podium and win rallies with a supposedly "crap" car when everyone is pushing.

At 19:15 Saturday, the FIA are announcing a new WRC event for 2025 at Sardegna. The event, I don't know - perhaps Paraguay.
