Is it not just good business sense for manufacturers to alternate between brands? VAG switching from VW to Skoda, PSA switching from Citroen to Peugeot and its not out of the realms of possibility that Hyundai will do the same with Kia. After all the WRC is a promotional shop window. It doesn't really matter to me what the big manufacturers do with their brands as long as they don't leave WRC (or rallying) entirely.

Where is Renault or Nissan. They could easily step into the game.

They still have Alpina, don´t they? How is their indoor competence these days? (Talking about Renault that is.)

I think that if the money is right they could also produce decent machine. Easily can turn to guys like Prodrive, or some other experienced team in motorsport and they're on. Don't measure it by some R3 clios who competed only on Tour De Corse and Monte (I mean in WRC)... Skoda too had crap WRC cars and their R5 is piece of machine that everyone leaves in dust. And Citroen have long history with dominant force and what about now? They can't even know what's wrong with the car.

This might potentially have more impact on his championship hopes than any tweaks to C3.

The way Meeke has talked about his employer lately (not just in this interview), makes you think that he already knows this will be his last year in the team - if not the last year of the Citroen WRC team. Not saying he wouldn't be right in his statements, it's just quite rare these days to get as candid opinions, and usually they do mean that things are coming to an end.
