I really hope Meeke hasn't blown his chance. He was surprisingly quick both in Finland and Oz considering his massive experience deficit.
As has been pointed out look at how many chances Latvala has had. We were all told it was ok because he was the quickest which turns out to have been a bit wide of the mark judging by this years performances.
I hope for Meeke's sake that a perspective team boss will view (recent) crashes as part of the 95%/105% rule.
In as much as you can (possibly) reign in a 105% driver, but it's harder to get the last 5% out of a 95% driver.
Eg. McRae, Latvala etc
Agree with you, but teams are more focused on the Maunfacturers title more than the drivers now it seems, so need consistancy. I would pick Meeke over Sordo or Hirvonen, but i'm not a team boss.Quote:

Yes, truly a happy end so far. Letīs hope heīll do a good job next year, for the sake of himself, Citroen and the rallysport in GB.
Well done on this first leg of Monte-Carlo, Kris Meeke :cool:
Well done Kris and Paul. I hope this week end has shown that Meeke can be competitive and does deserve a factory seat, despite what a few have said about him here over the years. Yep, they'll be a few offs during the season no doubt but he is going to have a good season.
Irish eyes are smiling.
hopefully in time we will be able to change this to- "Kris meeke- the fastest driver to challange Ogier", really hope so:)
Just a terrific result for Kris, I am so happy for him. It is so terrific to see him on the podium, and to have a British driver back in the mix. I think Colin would be proud.
wait 'til he starts to get beaten by Mads on snow or gravel - he will quickly get frustrated and crash stupidly again
