That's great, lol.
If this was F1, 20 threads would be created just because of this interview.

That is not what I would call a warm welcome :)
Good to hear Meeke isnt at all happy at the thought of Ogier coming... the more things against this happening the better.
And I wonder if Ogier would actually get more pleasure from beating Citroen with M-Sport, than winning rallies back with them ...
Lefebvre isn't doing himself any favors by trash-talking like he did. He's a nobody for now and should be more humble and not tell everyone what Meeke thinks about the situation. I'm pretty sure Matton won't be happy to read that interview.
That is, if the interview wasn't made up by the press, like it always loves to do. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to speak out like that?
You'd be enemy to Meeke, Matton and Ogier who could land in his very same team. Not a great way to start your 2 year contract...
Lefebvre already has enough seat competition with Meeke & Breen, he doesnt need Ogier coming in and knocking him even further down the pecking order.
From a PR point of view I don't think it would be very good for Citroen to have Ogier back. If they win, it would be because of him. If they lose (and Meeke doesn't win, obviously), it's their fault. What do they have to gain?
For M-Sport, on the other hand, it doesn't matter if they win because of Ogier. They would just win.
Not sure it was the exact words from Lefebvre, this journalist (ODW) is known for this kind of paper...
All these words to describe our 4-time Champion... and no-one disagrees ! :D
But have we thought it through.. what if he goes to M-Sport and doesnt win, what will he be like then !?
But frankly what has Lefebvre shown to deserve a WRC drive and 2 year contract? And to make this question more tricky I'm not talking about nationality.
However Lefebvre and erlier on Breen are coming men whom have come longest on their career to be top WRC drivers. A few more waiting behind the curtain.
Just a thought but who will be running cars number 1,2&3 next year will it by hyundai as runners up this season as vw have gone?
Cheers for clearing that up
