Stuff like that can be said in a correct way and in ohh so many wrong ways ... if you understand what I mean.

Would the teams rather take money from bad drivers and loose?
Subaru need a third driver to show that the car is not the problem.
No muich point spending 50 million a year, if hiring someone like meeke for free would make the difference.
Ford need a replacement for Gigi, who was not on the pace all year.



I'd wager meeke being able to match loeb in equal machinary.

I know what I heard ... and I think he burned his bridges. You might think otherwise. Fine by me.

Hirvonen in problems????

Yeah

Anyway, Meeke is already a great driver and Ogier learns to become one; nothing to compare.
It's the 3rd time Meeke participates in this rally, he has therefore more experience. However Chris is a gifted driver who can be used as a reference for Ogier. To compare the driver between them is without interest; only honours lists can be compared, and for it let us wait that them respective careers are ended.
When we look objectively at what makes Ogier this year, it is nice job.
And the performances of Meeke are of a very good level and if he doesn't have steering wheel in WRC it is not indeed his driving, which is reason.
Congratulations to these 2 drivers which for Ogier is there to earn the junior championship. And Meeke which is there to show that he's already a competitive driver.

Duval 3rd
