And even with the other drivers/cars combinations those have been also relatively competitive amongst themselves, sometimes even challenging/beating the top three.
Come on, the C3 has had big issues since day one. If Ogier was still in an M-Sport Ford would Tanak be running away with the title to the same extent ?
