    I said it before and I will say it again, I get a bad feeling about the whole Citroen effort this year.
    Let's list it again:
    - driver picks in November
    - spend a year preparing then don't have setup for Monte and Sweden (and admit it afterwards)
    - only two cars on first 3 rallies when M-sport is up to 5
    - have wrong suspension settings for Argentina that cause crashes (I claim it's also a lot about the drivers, but Citroen themselves blame setup, so let's follow them on that => shows they haven't prepared well?)

    and now this.

    Budget too low? Bad decisions on what to spend money on? Not good enough engineers? Bad management?

    These are the serious questions I would ask if I were Citroen board member.

    No word from or about Meeke since the crash yesterday... the silence is deafening.

    I think we both agree with Citroen being a shit team, but do you have any other argument against them apart from arab?

    #Strongcar... It will need to be if they haven't sorted out the suspension/handling issues by Finland.....

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Funny I thought the Arabs specialised in tough, off-road, rallies...
