Meeke is the only Citroen driver with wins recently - but even on those you could see he was on the ragged edge. You get the impression that Meeke has been overdriving to compensate for the poor performance of the car. The other Citroen drivers haven't binned it as often but neither have they had the wins. With the driver and car combo Citroen have I'd be surprised if they win any events in the remainder of this season (and podiums will rely on others having problems I think).
Over at Toyota you've got Tanak and Latvala breaking the car (and Latvala admitting he's now holding back and not driving at 100%). In that case though it looks like the car just isn't strong enough and the dnfs are as a result of fragility rather than driver error.
