Wrc Rally Argentina 2017

Best WRC Sunday I had in a long while. I didn't expect such close fight, but it was nice surprise.
Anyway, congrats to both Neuville and Evans, great performance.

Citroen retired Breen during last service, so they 'can get a full quota of sealed spare parts for the next rallies.'

So they prefer this over 8 manufacturer points. Why? Are they afraid Meeke is going to roll 3 times in Portugal? Or does the sheik need his parts there?

The way Citroen is handling his WRC campaign this year is embarassing.

2 points. Power Stage points doesn't count for manufacturer points.

***Well 6 to be exact because there was 3 Fords and 3 Hyundais ahead. These manufacturer points are too complicated.

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.

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

To settle my own curiosity - Citroen gave up 6 points with Breen right? I've seen some saying 8 but I don't think this can be right? Although I do normally make one mistake every time I try to work out the manu points.
