Nobody is saying Meeke is going to win every race and is the fastest driver in the world - just that he's the best driver currently without a seat in the WRC (or under contract with VW in Ogier/Mikkelsen's case). He has had good results in the WRC in the Mini and was exceptional in the IRC against Hanninen/Basso/Rosetti etc and other specialists in their own events. Only Hanninen comes close in terms of drivers without a seat, but for people on here to rubbish Meeke's ability and achievements is a load of rubbish.

If you read carefully my posts you don't find anything to rubbish Meeke's abiity or achievements and I said I like him. But can't agree he's the best driver without WRC seat as there are plenty of drivers probably better than him. And gloryfy his IRC title or stage win and ignore other drivers achievements is just not fair. I gave some examples already based on facts not my feelings.

Maybe Meeke is clever... He is not paying 100K euros per rally to prove anything to anyone.

In the meantime he is testing for Citroen WRC team. The best WRC team in the history of rallying, must think he a waste of time.

Meeke set fastest times on tarmac and gravel in a under developed car, in his first 10 rallies in a WRC. I dont know of a another driver who has done that?

Latavala, 100 WRC start later, is still wrecking 300K euro cars for fun, so dont knock a driver for pushing the limits.

Meeke maybe has a fault that he doesnt give himself time to develop in the little seat time he had, but I would rather see than, than be a nearly man.

There is one thing you cant take away from Meeke, his speed. Put him in a DS3 and he be podium material on every surface.

No, Citroen is not the best team in WRC, but Loeb is the best driver. Meeke can do well not only with Citroen, if you think so, we are wasting time over here in this thread.

8 out of 10 titles in last 10 years and you think Citroen is not the best?
