The meaning is rather to tell the differences between them and a customer's outfit, not a criticism. Quesnel says they have good relationships with both KR and PS, the meaning can be interpreted as friendly relationships.
Again the journalist insists on the fact that Citroën was asked to build cars for customers. Van Merksteijn who was set to drive 10 rallies accepted a compromise and let Solberg drive (Van M's car) in Sweden (Quesnel) and probably later in the season because the 5th DS3 won't be ready before Sardinia. (journalist).
Then Quesnel says there will no longer be a Junior team, (no youngster), PS and KR will run their own teams. Season's program for both isn't yet determined (date of the article).
It's all a matter of last minute deals, lots of details to be arranged due to budget issues. Customers will have tests during the season but will run their own teams, engineers and mechanics with official support from Citroën. Cars are the full property of Citroën and will be overhauled at the factory between rallies (Quesnel).
