    I'm glad of course, but that "one-off" kind of ruin everything... I didn't know it was that difficult to change drivers, even with ongoing contracts...

    Let's see how it goes by the way, I don't expect too much speed from Andreas after only 1day testing with a new car, unless he will get soon comfortable, which I doubt.

    I reckon he will be fighting for the win straight away...! He is that good... Mark my words and we can discuss after the rally :-)
    Have a great day, Rob

    Best luck to Mikkelsen. It's great to have him back at the top.

    Not happening.The C3 to fight for victories needs to be overpushed as Meeke has proven numerous times.Take it easy and bring the car home in the best position possible is the way to go.

    Mikkelsen performance and feedback from Sardinia (and hopefully following events) will be very important for Citroen.
    Poor results or DNFs will most probably confirm something is wrong with the car, and Meeke is not the only one to blame.
    Good results by Mikkelsen however, will most likely mean Meeke's replacement by Ogier.

    You may be right, but I wonder what will your conclusion be in case Mikkelsen is competitive right from the beginning?

    Meeke and Breen are at Citroen next year. It's between Ogier and Andreas for the other seat, and the fact Andreas is now getting a drive makes me believe that the Ford return is definitely in the offing. Seb has made it clear he will only remain at Msport with full factory support from Ford....

    The C3 is fast. Meeke is fast before exiting a rally. Andreas will probably be on the podium, if not even a win because of starting position on day 1.
    Have a great day, Rob
