    There was a list doing the rounds way back at the start of the year which had all the planned rallies for Citroen and Khalid. So I believe Australia has been on his programme for a while.

    More chance of winning the event for the team than coming in 15th position...

    Mickelsen says on instagram that he has an intensive 4 week French language course starting today. Looks like he's signed up

    I think you're missing the point. Without Khalid they'd be without funding. Since the team is named after his backing, it's pretty obvious it's a lot of money he brings in to the team. So without the cash, Citroën maybe wouldn't be as good as it is now, you know?

    Without Khalid's friendship and support Kris Meeke might not have got the Citroen test drives in Finland and Australia 2013. In 2013/2014 I seem to recall media were suggesting Khalid had some influence on Citroen driver selections. I do not recall anything in last 2 years suggesting Khalid still had some influence on driver selections.
    Can anyone with a better memory than me clarify

    Goodbye Meeke, hello Mikkelsen. That's what I believe anyway.
