- I find it extremely funny to have David Lapworth commenting. I mean who else knows better about going from top team to one of the slowest cars on the grid in a short timespan.
- The Finnish guy is funny, saying they should keep Meeke cause he can charge for win in Poland ( a rally where he has never done well and has not driven last year, all this after crashing 4 times in a row). And furthermore saying that with Mikkelsen they can't hope for better than 5th. He won there last year, if they can't hope for better than 5th (which indeed is a realistic goal) then clearly something is not good with the car/setup.
- 100% agree with the german guyLast edited by mknight; 21st June 2017 at 18:26.

The whole piece is a joke. Using the comments from two former WRC players and two free-lancer journos to say there's a paddock backing to Meeke seems a desperate attempt to keep people focused (and clicking) on a solved matter. Btw, didn't Lapworth drop Meeke during Prodrive’s second season with the Mini?

Personally I would have thought Meeke not having contested Poland last year was a good reason for him to be doing it this year. If Citroen want to be doing well in the 2018 championship, then surely they would want their main driver as familiar as possible with each event in the calendar? Or does this tell us that they have little confidence in Citroen being there in 2018?
