I agree hes the fastest driver without a seat, these people who doubt him only watch wrc and havent followed his career, what he did in the irc in 09 was amazing, without a couple of puctures he would had a maximum score for 7 rounds, and was winning rallies hes never been on before! meeke shown in the mini he fast on gravel and tarmac, people say he kept binning it but i remember the mini was problematic, like the throttle sticking open in sardinia, (it was a new car after all). If he was given a chance like ogier, sordo, neuville in the fastest most reliable car, im sure he would be challenging for championships by now. Hanninen and meeke both deserve to be in the wrc, we just need more factory cars available.

Ok Back from the pub and feeling really pee-oh'd as Schalke just beat Arsenal! - so I'll vent my spleen in educating some people who badly need it
pre-2010 KM had 2 'WRC' drives in "pre-loved" Impreza WRCs - GB '05 and Ireland '07
So in his first proper drive in a new car (not a pre-sorted C4 / DS3 / Focus or Fiesta. in 6 starts he scored 25 points + av just over 4 .16 per event
Ostberg 2006-10 competed in the Prodrive engineered Adapta team Impreza (+ 2 S2000 fiesta rides) in 29 WRC events scoring a number of 8th and 9th places
So he is hardly a novice in WRC when he gets the M-Sport drive in 2011 He does well -88 points in 12 starts (do the math) is not such a fantastic record compared to Meeke given a) his previous experience on many events and b) his 'sorted' machinery. Mads has improved this year and so he should given how much experience in WRC he now has (an example of a 5 year plan that worked )
Perhaps Thierry Neuville - the great Citroen hope (apart from Chardonnet) is a better comparison. No WRC before 2012. 12 starts - 53 points including the odd visitation to the scenery. So in a factory supported, Loeb-sorted DS3 hes got an average of 4.41 - He looks like he's had his chance and blown it!!
Kris blew it when he was born, he didn't have a rich Dad! Shame it's not all about talent.Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!
