I have to wonder - normally when a driver has a real terrible run like Meeke is having - normally the first thing that changes is the co-driver. Not saying for one second Paul is to blame for any of these issues, but that tends to be the way it goes.
Come on, Meeke has been like this always. He had some shorter periods without crashes but otherwise a sort of overdriving has been typical for all his career. With the current situation with seemengly uncompetitive Citroën it brough back memories to his years in Peugeot in IRC. It was exactly the same. He was pushing and crashing and people kept saying it was because Peugeot was crap compared to Škoda. Not saying it wasn't but it feels like a real deja vu now.Quote:

I don't see him in the team for 2019 if this doesn't change pronto. Unfortuantely he has a contract until the end of 2018 unless I'm mistaken.
He should see a psychologist or something, seriously. He never ever ever ever learn.
He's not exactly young, is he? This is his last big chance I think, and if he keeps flopping like he has been this season, I would be worried if he's still in the team next year, let alone 2019...Quote:

You know how Meeke after yesterday's SSS said he put the previous rallies out of his mind and is focusing on this one? My first thought was that if that's his first end stage comment in fact he has done the opposite and he will undoubtedly go off. Glad I left him out of the pickems. I feel sorry for him but he's doing this to himself. Reminds me a lot of Petter Solberg when the Subaru wasn't quite up to scratch and the kept trying to compensate and kept crashing which dented his morale which led to more crashing.
Not really significant comparison imo.
Meeke`s car has rollcage damage so he`s out.
