Tbh there is quite a lot of info in the Citroen release, both written and in-between the lines:
"Before the start, we asked our drivers to make it to the end of the rally. I don't think we were wrong to think that if they managed to do that, we would end up with two cars in the top five," explained Yves Matton, Citroën Racing Team Principal. "Unfortunately, Kris was unable to adopt the pace required to have an error-free race. After the opening stages, he felt comfortable in the car and said that his pace was consistent with the targets set. Clearly, he has failed to maintain it."

Ive also just heard from a contact in service area, that some Citroen engineers have been sacked.

Tbh, surprisingly (now it isn't but at the beginning of the season it was) Citroen are the most disappointing team this season. They had the most time to test the car, it didn't seem to have any issues while testing and at the end come round 8, they sit last in the manu. table with Breen leading their way. They probably left out Meeke in Poland for the same reason they have Lefebvre here, Meeke hasn't done the rally last year while the 2 others have done the rally & finished,sort of so....and Mikkelsen won the rally last year and if he gets a proper testing session before hand we might be able to see some improvement next time out in Poland.
Only you know your true potential.

Totally the right thing to do. This will do well for both parties.

^^ Talking about drastic changes.
Were they arguing with Breen, Lefebvre etc. that the car and setup is just fine?
In that light it might actually be a blessing for Lefebvre that Mikkelsen came around. Else it might have destroyed his starting career. (He was not much worse than Breen last year).
Btw. what is FX doing? Only building Polo R5? Think his phone is ringing already?

Shame but too many accidents in 2017 and it cant go on..
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
What's the first thing to come to...
