Fck. I Like Meeke, colourful guy. Wrc is not the same without him.

you always find a way to twist facts to suit your armchair opinion.
speak to any driver in the wrc and I bet not one of them share your opinion, or twisted logic. you sad little individual.
move on to troll the next driver you dont like.
Meeke will be actually vindicated in the long run and relieved and content he tried his best... and walk away, and let citroen try and swim in the PR cesspit they have created. The stark truth is WRC is a poorer show without him.

Paddon's was a freak accident caused by spectator being in a wrong place. You couldn't see it coming. Meeke is constantly crashing out at high speeds, something potentially fatal or with severe injuries have been screaming to happen at one point. If Citroen wouldn't kick Meeke out and he'd cause an accident killing on injuring someone, you'd see headlines saying something like "Why didn't they stop the mad man before?".
If potential serious incident has been on the cards for long time and you do nothing to avoid it, you're partly responsible too. If the incident is something you could not foresee, you'll get much less stick.

I can't have this about Meeke being a danger to the public etc. Complete and utter shite! Citroen weren't wincing and telling him to slow down when he was in the lead of those rallies. This is most likely a very poorly worded and rationale'd bit of PR to try and explain away a decision from high up in the company. Most likely it's to do with their budget being frittered away by repair bills and new chassis orders.
Personally I got past the point of defending Meeke a while ago. With that many crashes you simply can't just assume your employer won't step in. But some of the reasons being banded about are ridiculous.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Reckon Daddy Ostberg can part fund a whole season from Sardinia onwards. And there's the financial benefit; drop Meeke and reduce repair costs, and also bring in budget with the replacement driver.

Well, I think the safety part has some truth in it. For Citroen Racing management to wait around and see if Meeke finds a way to have a crash where they get hit at a worse place and get injured (with all the implications of this for Meeke, Nagle, Citroen, etc) might have been too much of a risk after this last incident. Also, we don't know where the decision was made, maybe Abu Dhabi pulled the plug on him, as they give most of the money...

Sorry guys, but all this talk about "safety" is sounding ridiculous on I don't know what scale. If you are near the limit, on the limit or over the limit, you never know what might happen. Dropping someone for safety reasons is like telling not to go out because you might die.
Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.
