I can't find news anymore about Citroen telling his drivers to start winning. But there was one on season beginning....

Well, he has managed to get to the end more times, is ahead of Latvala points-wise and loses less points to a man losing more points to the current leader and considered in the game for the title. But yes, still expensive offs and last in the manu. championship is quite the same story as it was last year.

Budar points out two reasons which I and others also mentioned before:
1. Crashing when there is no pressure.
He lists in detail how there was no pressure in Portugal and also mentions Mexico this year. There are numerous other examples of that (Argentina last year). That is something else than fighting for win/positions.
2. Note he specifically mentions "crashes since 2014" Cause he has been like that also with DS3, even to the point when he was threatened by Matton.
Reading between the lines it looks like PSA+Citroen leadership made the decision as also people here assume.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Precisely
a) top three fastest drivers?, so he is faster than one of Ogier, Neuville, Tanak right now? Top 5-6 sure.
b) major offs in Sweden, Mexico, Corsica, Portugal. (+Argentina puncture)
One other thing in his comment:
I'm a big fan of the big-hearted Meeke approach. Always have been and always will be. He's a fighter and - five times for Citroen - he's beaten the world and been a winner.
==========================
It's this fanboyism that I simply don't get with Meeke. Sure he seems like a nice guy, but so does Latvala, Tanak or Paddon, all of them get quite a lot of criticism both here and elsewhere when they mess up. Even Evans and Breen get criticized much more and they are also from UK/Ireland.
Meeke's fans are on completely different level.
