Nobody said that, just that Tanak was slower on Monte this year in i20 than last year in Yaris, which is a fact.
In Corsica 2019, Suninen in his first rally in WRC on Corsica almost beat Sordo and decimated Loeb and Latvala. So Fiesta totally wasn't a bad car there, proving the point here again.
Huge sudden changes in driver performances are mostly down to car (and ajusting to it). This has been proven over and over again in last 20 years, yet some people always blame the driver (or applaud him). Going from Martin's change from Ford to 307, Solbergs decline in later Subarus and then suddenly fighting in the top in C4 and very recently with the likes of Loeb forgetting how to drive on tarmac right after winning a tarmac rally.

Correct. And Latvala might be right also in a sense that Tänak didn't talk to him as he isn't deciding driver line-ups.
