And that makes it look so bleak for Citroen. I'm fascinated to see what plans they actually have for 19/20, as I still can't see them sticking around if they can't get an elite driver.
IMO they aren't going to get a better driver than Kris unless they give Ogier the biggest contract in WRC history. Even then Seb isnt motivated by money, he's motivated by championships and there's a big question mark over whether he will even continue in the sport anyway.
Neuville isn't going to leave Hyundai and Jari probably isn't a step up from Meeke + doesn't know the C3 at all. It leaves Citroen taking a gamble on Paddon or trying to nurture Tiedemand (although I have a feeling his future is linked with Skoda's return to the WRC). Sordo, Ostberg and Breen would be one of the most dull WRC team lineups since Gardemeister/Kresta in 2005, unless Breen can find another level (fingers crossed he can). Everyone already knows Sordo and Ostberg aren't really drivers who can fight for wins on a regular basis.
Meeke had a big gap to Rossel after stage 3 (20 sec) at stage 4 had a puncture and now the gap to Rossel is just 2 sec Gryazin strangely slow,anybody now why?...
