    Edit: having said that at least F1 has had Hamilton, Vettel, Leclerc, Bottas and Verstappen at least win races (I think) which is more than the wrc will get next season.
    so who do you think would suddenly start to win races in 2020 beside or against the TOP3?

    the situation would be same if Citroen had stayed

    Citroen have been a disgrace, the arrogance of the management (Jackson and Tavares) is almost beyond belief. The openly blame everyone only themselves.

    Who could win races other than Tanaka, Neuville, and Ogier, let's see who previous winners are, Sordo, Loeb, Evans, Mikkelsen, Meeke, Latvala Paddon . . . enough possibilities I think.

    No way! It does not help if they have won some events earlier. Only the top 3 drivers Tänak, Neuville & Ogier are capable of winning all the time and fighting for the title. Hopefully some others also in the future, but not in 2020...

    Yes, you read statistics.. But in reality, none of them is going to fight for wins thru out the 2020.
    They may shine on some rallies, but otherwise no.. Evans only one to possibly win an event from that list. 2018 Loeb won Spain and Latvala Australia, other were between the top3. 2019 Sordo won Sardegna(thanks to Yaris) and other rallies were between top3.
