Unfair to Lefebvre, who was the leading Citroën in Poland. He's been nowhere pace wise but he hasn't crashed nearly as much as Meeke or Paddon.

If Citroen are going to get Ogier (probably have signed the deal already-as some people already said in this forum the silly season over now it's just the announcements left), they should let Meeke, Ogier & Breen drive full time, and Qassimi share the forth car with Lefebvre or something...but that's assuming the FIA will permit 4 car teams....if it stays 3....the drivers will be in a bit of a pickle.
I'm not having the Leferbrve in Poland stuff, he was 3min 11sec off the lead after what was his best ever appearance in a WRC car, Meeke after what was a disaster in Finland, where he had no confidence and lost well over a minute with a puncture was 3min 12sec off the lead.
I'm not using this to support Meeke, rather show that I just don't think SL is anything like quick enough to justify a seat. Not crashing is very little use if you're that slow.
Lefebvre has had a crash/off of some sort in every WRC rally he's driven this year except for Poland, which was a clean good run. That's pretty constant crashing I'd say.
If, Ogier champion and go to Citroën, in 2018, the worst 2017 team will have... #1 on windows lool
It’d be great to see Ogier at Citroen (still believe that becoming a national hero is his main motivation), but having Matton saying he’s totally focused on getting him doesn’t sound reassuring enought…I hope Ogier is directly dealing with Mr. Tavares.
Btw, it’s funny to see how people can be so neutral and fair: Matton was a moron because he decided Meeke would skip Poland; Nandan is a genius because he’s putting Paddon on the shelf at Spain…
That's my bad mate - I didn't read full the post you were quoting. Sorry.
From Lefebvre though we've seen a couple of quick scratch times but he's not put forward any eye-catching performances. Look what Suninen did on day one in a WRC. I don't mind that SL is crashing - but in between the crashes he needs to show speed and he hasn't done that enough.
Again true talented guys like Suninen and Lappi make a mockery of Lefebvre - and the concept of taking a whole season to get up to speed.
