Kris meeke- the fastest driver with no seat
Anyone agree kris Meeke should be in the wrc? Ok he crashes a lot but the stages he did compete in his times were usually in the top 5/6. He also did come 5th in spain and 4th in GB in a relatively new car. As for all the retirments maybe he was just pushing to hard to try and prove himself, we all know you can fine tune a fast driver to help him stay on the road but you cant make a slow driver fast. Meeke has the speed! It depresses me to watch chris Atkinson in the mini, one of the wost drivers in the wrc, he could nt even beat ogier in the S2000 car! Ok I know Ogier is a special talent but for a former factory driver he shouldnt be struggling like that. It seems to be now a days what ever driver brings the most money/sponsors to the table gets the seat. I used to be a keen WRC follower but im drifting away like so many others. I want to see drivers like Dani Sordo, Kris Meeke, Juho Hanninen, maybe kopecky in the WRC fighting for podiums. I dont want to see Atkinson, block, Nobre. although they may not be there next year anyways due to other commitments. Anyone agree?

I'm really glad Meeke signed a second year with Citroën

Common sense prevailed.
His technical knowledge of the DS3, top notch engineering feedback and a decent pace helped a bit.
Now's the time to fix the costly mistakes.Markku Alén, 1978 World Champion

Kris now has a seat for 2015. Should this thread be closed and replaced with a new thread of "xxxxx xxxxx the fastest driver with no seat"
Of course the new thread may only last a few hours / days pending Yves Matton's next anouncementLast edited by KiwiWRCfan; 26th November 2014 at 11:18. Reason: I hit post too soon. NNeeded to add another sentence

Not necessarily the fastest, but the driver with most potential is Paddon.
Ostberg is currently faster, cant see him improving much though.
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
