Well for 2018 they had 1 main goal:

"Widen the operational window" = make the car work in different conditions. I would say that speed/performances in Sweden, Mexico, Argentina and Portugal (looking both at Meeke and other drivers) did seem to confirm that there is an improvement.

This gets them into a better position for getting drivers for 2019 than they were last year. For Ogier I think Matton leaving is also a plus.

That does still not mean they will get any or that they will actually continue. Some of this could be PR stuff to keep interest up before pulling out.
