Loeb didn’t wanted Peugeot at the end of 2015, but he ended there…
With or without Seb (it could be the other one, like Clark suggested), one year to fix the car and reorganize the team is enough; in '19 Citroen must have a full scale top entry and show they still can win the series. Fingers crossed!Rally addict since 1982

I don't think budget is the main problem. MSport made due with less. Sure more money wouldn't be bad, but better management, better developed car and a lead driver who doesn't crash two times every rally is really what was missing.

Unless Citroen start to spend proper money, plus sign Ogier for 2019, they dont have a chance to compete.
The other Teams have been doing things properly since 2017 and have better cars and the best driver's signed up.
Citroen - go hard or go home.

Given what looks from the outside tight finances for PSA I doubt they would stop him driving for a different manufacturer, and given the fairly bad publicity they have dealt themselves with the manner in which they appear to have fired Kris, stopping him driving for someone else would only create more. No mention of him on their Twitter account now either.
Also, if Kris was contracted to drive the whole of the season, as Matton had publicly stated before, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on. If it went to court it could be argued that PSA were hindering Kris' future employment opportunities and that could get costly.
As for Kris getting an Msport drive this season, well, they have Ogier as number one driver and Evans, Sunninen both podiums in Portugal so I don't see either losing a drive at the minute. As they say, to finish first, first you must finish.Last edited by Norm75; 28th May 2018 at 23:51.
