Rally Italia Sardinia 2017

[Mirek]

Almost sad listening to Mikkelsen after the stages.
"Scared to death, rear is all over the place"
"Dampers are really bad, bouncing all over the place, I've got zero control"

When did he say that?

And some people blaming Meeke for that rear-end loosing in:
- Sweden
- Argentina
- Sardegna

Do You believe overdriving a slow car until the point of uncontrolled accident is a good thing? The car may be bad but pushing it into a big crash everytime is a pure gamble. Moreover a gamble which helps nothing.

I think we need to be a bit careful when crucifying @krismeeke after his off yesterday. Best wait to hear exactly what happened

By the way I fail to see how the two Japanese guys can make it in Toyota WRC team.

yeah i was thinking the same, I assume Toyota will pay for extra cars for these guys, even keeping Hanninen would be better.

or Citroen wont have him back.....

Also who spend most of last year preparing? Citroen and Meeke. Who developed the car and sets it up for himself? Meeke.

As I have written many times this year it's very interesting that Citroen does not have a good setup for every other section and every second rally. Not testing enough/wrong? Hard car to set-up?

Starting to look like the last option. Then again this year we see test vids from Ford and Hyundai all the time, but not so much from Citroen. (that by itself doesn't mean they test less though)

The concept of the car was designed by Citroen Racing.. and mostly touring car engineers.. before Meeke or Breen even sat in it. There is major homolgation issues with the car that cannot be changed. And to prove the point.. the car is mega on Corsicia becuase that is utimately what is was designed for.

Also i heard that Citroen have cancelled a development test

Some very protective comments regarding Meeke.

Time for him to sit out an event and restart his mind. Even if the car is faulty and bad, he's definitely not helping.

I prefer to be careful with blaming him for that. It is possible that the Citroën engineers just know better if You understand what I mean.

Maybe do no harm..
But it looks like without Meeke the car would have been classified to Room 101 long before now.
