Don't know how Becs can be so happy when we just heard Craig is out from Rallye Deutschland....and how come they haven't heard of it?
Sounds like Citroen didnt like Breen's comments yesterday about being scared of crashing their wayward car...

Ogier mistake
Sounds like Citroen are trying to silence the truth (which is- the car is horrendous) and their drivers are paying for it, honestly how come Matton hasn't been sacked yet?Quote:

Reports were that the front splitter had broken and had lifted above the bonnet somehow. So certainly some front end damage beyond the puncture.Quote:

Meeke seemed a pretty clear choice as well and there were plenty of people here upset that he didn't have a drive. After last season we all would have extended his contract as well, I'm sure.Quote:

He had Neuville and let him go. It was apparent very quickly that Hirvonen had lost his mojo. Meeke has been chosen as the best bet available (given Tanak was an unknown quantity) but always seems not to be given full backing (which he defintely needs to perform well). Sorry these are all Matton decisions. The only excuse I'll make for him is the diversion of money for the WTCC Loeb vanity project.Quote:

Neuville in a difficult position now. Attack or consolidate?
Consolidate. Its 2nd at worst for him under normal conditions. Get the points.
Ouch Latvala, oil leaking...
Stage times from the citroens seem to hold up all of a sudden. Conditions in their favor?
He has one more stage to go before service. Would it (in theory) be legal to stop at a petrol station and buy more?Quote:

Ah... that's difficult to fill up.Quote:

Latvala a bit away of lead battle. It's a smart pace management or just lack of it?
Oil on Latvala's car:

SS14 Kruklanki is going to be tough, the conditions were very soft on the recce, there’s a section which goes right through a field!
"Damn, if I concentrate hard enough that red junk will turn into my beloved Polo..."
Oh wow... I hope they don't mean literally through a field. I've seen enough videos of east european rallies through fields where the driver spins out and ends up colliding the spectators.Quote:
