    Citroen have quite a few issues - one of whom is Matton; but I bet he keeps his position. His leadership leaves a lot to be desired.

    "Obviously, Craig Breen's fans will be disappointed that he is not competing in Spain, but I have to contend with budget restrictions that mean we can't enter any more cars," - Matton. https://www.motorsport.com/wrc/news/...-spain-949574/

    So don't enter Lefebvre then.

    This tweet here from Matton shows they've effectively ruled themselves out of the fight for Mikkelsen's contract in 2018.

    I know he's pretty much nailed on at Hyundai now but it's still not been announced yet.

    i dont think there was a big fight for Mikkelsen. Over the 3 rallies he underperformed.

    Imo, this really reads like they didn't have enough money for both Ogier and Mikkelsen next year.
    For Citroen's sake I really hope they get at least 1 experienced and stable driver to sort out the car and bring results. Meeke is neither.

    In the Citroen press release Matton congratulates Mikkelsen on securing a drive at Hyundai for 2018.

    Another interesting quote is also "At the start of the season, Craig's programme was planned over 11 rallies"

    Well, they only run 3 cars and have to make space for Al Qassimi
