M-Sport will not hire him. The only one that they have been interested is already in the team. And they have Evans and Teemu. Meeke is probably nowhere on the list of any team.

We can understand how troubled Meeke must have felt after giving all on the last stage of a frustrating rally (started with an unfortunate mistake of his own), but I honestly can’t get what he gains with this public complains on the car and, eventually, the team.
His remarks in last year Germany pre event PC were already beyond any reasonable limit; to see him continuing in this path, giving the press motives to underline a ‘Meeke against the team’ narrative, is a real shame. We can only hope he’ll be able to change this attitude, like apparently he was able to change his driving approach.
Btw, I’m pretty confident Citroen will stay in 2019; not so sure about Meeke.Rally addict since 1982

I'm sure Citroen will be more excited to hear about Ostbergs experience in a Fiesta too if they already haven't.

Nothing wrong about the way he's speaking, he's a competitive driver who wants to win so wants the best and is honest. The bosses agree with him that improvements need to be made and have said it on numerous occasions. There's no point sugar coating anything when every man and his dog can see the problems and everyone in the team will be pushing for better.
Last year (particularly at the start) Ogier was moaning a lot about set up issues and changes he wanted made to the car. This is just what drivers do, even when they have a good car under them like Seb did. They're always wanting more performance from certain areas and for development to increase.
In this specific case here, things are worse as it's the 2nd year in a row the C3 has had the exact same issues as it did 12months ago. The minute you start hearing a driver like Meeke saying the car felt good and he's happy with being nowhere in terms of pace, that's when you can really start worrying about Citroens future and Meeke being resigned to not being able to compete properly at the front.
