Personally find it weird to go overboard about Meeke.

First off, this season he's been relatively clean for his standards. Robbed of a double podium in Corsica and Argentina, and without yet another puncture here he would've been up with Neuville. Clearly frustrated he makes a mistake, so predictable.

Nobody else has won in that car yet, and Citroen with their budget are looking for maximum exposure for the smallest input. Meeke gives them that atm. What's the point in having Ostberg or Sordo instead when they have Breen as the reasonably steady driver? What good is that going to do for the team? They'd have no real chance of wins then

Meeke has always crashed and been able to win. Nothing will change. If Citroen want to improve they need to sign Ogier, Loeb, Neuville or Tanak and keep Meeke and Breen. Punting Meeke won't do much. As has been said there isn't many better options with their current budget, and if they find extra budget they can still run a 3 car team of #1 driver, Meeke and Breen.
