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.

#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 ???

M-Sport report:
http://www.m-sport.co.uk/m-sport-new...t-in-argentina
Variety. With 4-5 tarmac rallies in calendar, it's good to have some successor to circuit-like Catalunya. Rally wasn't super interesting but wasn't that bad either, I liked saturday stages more....
