Wasn`t Lefebvre personally sponsored by Qassimi?

If Seb isn't available for them (why would he want to go there now??), I'd put Meeke, Mikkelsen and Breen in the car. What's the benefit to the factory of having a French driver when he isn't even showing signs of any sort of pace, nevermind half decent results?
I get what you're saying, but unless they have a realistic chance of signing Seb for next year they have to lock Andreas down on a contract as soon as possible or he could go elsewhere, and that would leave Citroën up Shit Creek for next year.
Breen is a great 3rd driver and Meeke can win rallies for them (perhaps even more so now if the new changes work on the C3). Andreas has been pretty consistent and fast for the last few years, so with Breen and Mikkelsen bringing home pts on most rallies, having a driver like Meeke pushing for wins on most events is surely the makeup of a much stronger team than what they have now.

They need to put Meeke and Mikkelsen in the same rallies. They need to cooperate and develop the car together to suite different styles. They will learn car and eachother, to form a top team!
The last two drivers need to share 3rd car, maybe 4 cars last rallies.

The big shame here is I can see Breen getting flicked for a few events this year (potentially starting with Germany) - when he's really done nothing wrong.

The questions are only raised because brit journos keep treating this matter in a shameful way and Meeke’s fans are in denial state. Btw, who's the Citroen source mentioned by Evans: the cleaning woman; the gatekeeper or the K9 mascot?
Time to stop the fuss and the worries; let’s just hope Citroen can make the C3 more competitive and their drivers can have more chances to shine. That’s what WRC needs: more cars and drivers fighting for the win.Rally addict since 1982

Honestly I see Breen solid as a rock inside Citroen. There's no doubt he's ready to go faster (like in Portugal's first loop) but so far Meeke's and Lefebvre’s permanent mistakes forced him to get back and secure manu points for Citroen. I also don't see Mikkelsen as the game changer Citroen desperately needs, so maybe Breen can now have a chance to get the team spotlights. Fingers crossed for him!
