    Indeed C3 has been clearly the most reliable car of the 4, definitely since mid 2017 or so.

    Reliable yeah..., but it's still a dog of a car though. A dog that is contributing in dethroning a 6 straight champion - not even the great Ogier can drag it to a title.

    If I was Ogier I would retire now. What the hell is he supposed to do next year with this car?!

    Well clearly we were talking about reliability. Interestingly enough, Ogier never(?) had technical problems with the Fiesta. Only something small hydraulic stuff in Corsica 2017

    I just don't think that is his mindset - imagine turning it around for 2020 - Citroen need more budget though to address the rear suspension geomety

    Yes, his only hopes are others' issues and power stage points.

    Yeh, Meeke's engine blew in Corsica and Lappi's in Monte. Ogier has had the fire extinguisher go off during a stage and Østberg once had to retire because of a mechanic error. Al-Qassimi had a turbo issue in Turkey 2018? Don't really remember many technical issues for them before.

    Yeah, only a Tanak retirement can save his championship hopes now - you never know until the last stage

    Stupidest comment I have heard for a long time.

    He was fighting for title on 2nd last rally, even when making quite a few mistakes this season including 2 crashes (Sweden, Sardinia). He was also leading the rally after first stage........
