Ironically, I think he’s said that Sardegna is possibly his least favorite event on the calendar

Ford Fiesta WRC was one of the best cars (if not the best) in 2017... For what reason do you think Ogier decided to drive for M-Sport in 2017?

The Fiesta was quick in 2017.

Not only constructors championchip but individual as well, same for next year 2018. Ogier won both individual titles in 2017 and 2018.
