Rallye WRC Monte Carlo 2019

[Norm75]

Don't mean to sound negative but 12 months ago I wrote long praise on how Meeke matured after getting 4th without issues in Monte. He didn't have top speed but kept it on the road and got decent results.

The thing is, he did have one big issue which was the car.
Kris lucked in with 4th on Monte last year, with others falling by the wayside.
His speed was never really there Monte 18, other than the power stage which, from memory, had fairly dry conditions similar to this year, where the C3 has always performed well.

I fully understand what you are saying, I said the same thing 12 months ago too, that I thought Kris had started the year maturely, trying to emulate Ogiers tactic of taking solid points scoring finishes instead of trying to win or bust.

I just think Citroen always heaped too much pressure on his shoulders, whether it was in the form of uncertainty about his future, or telling him to go out and win.
Is it coincidental that his team was run by ph sport in 2016 and pressure wasn't put on him.

T16, its called stating a fact. No mind-games were needed by Ogier. More like by Neuville after the event.

How can you say it's a fact, when you have no evidence, other than Ogier claiming it was so? Ogier did need mind games, as Neuville wasn't exactly hanging around. Do people really believe that Citroen won't have sorted out a throttle fault that occurred twice last year by now? H wasn't getting the excuses in early, he was trying to make Neuville not push so hard.

These are Belgian national colours. I think de Mevius is backed by Belgian motorsport federation.
Cool livery indeed.

Beautiful! Is she not a Red Bull driver anymore? Or is it some strange incarnation of a bull in the middle?
