I really think not having the pressure of driving on a 12 month contract could be the best thing for Meeke. Hopefully, his performances will be good enough to persuade Citroen to do more rounds this year.
Definitely. Not to mention that performances such as these would do wonders for his confidence when Citroën returns full-time in 2017.Quote:

49.4sec off the pace and his Fiesta is missing most of its rear spoiler. "We had a bit of a moment on the last one. It's fun out there..."

i'm not sure if i can buy this logic from the seasoned drivers---you know the roads, you know the conditions, you have the experience, in some cases you have the same "best" car,....and apparently in some cases you use the same plan/approach that fails every year...i suppose its time to step up or really just be contented being runners up
for the new and newish wrc drivers like camili, paddon,etc i wish them well, as i'm sure they will have some crashes every now and then, but i want hope that they learn from them as progress
I hope meeke stays on the road till the end,,,at least he shows some fighting spirit from last year and does not seem too happy to settle for second place. That is the spirit of a champion there, regardless of the field/sport, you never feel comfortable until you are the pinnacle.
in some ways i suspect ogier is glad for a meeke too
