Meeke also moved into the lead in Portugal before the punctures. So it's always had the speed in certain conditions.
    Actually, in every kind of conditions. Tarmac, fast gravel, techical gravel...

    Especially with an experienced driver like Ogier onboard, they could maybe solve some issues through testing and get the setup right.

    I quite like the idea of Breen having Ogier as a "mentor" in the team. He has been stagnating for a bit now, this could help him to reach the next level up (or break him).

    Same as Ott, who for sure benefited in some way being in the same team as Ogier to make the final push and get his first wins last year.

    As far as I know, Breen isn't contracted yet for 2019. Would love to see him stay at Citroen.

    I love how Google translates it as Esapekka Lapland.

    I really like the alternate reality this forum has created right now. The C3 in its current form can't be in contention for a championship with anyone on the wheel. That will not change unless there are major changes in aero and chassis which is highly unlikely. Ogier may be able to bring the car home at 3rd to 5th every other rally and get an odd win here or there.

    The car is fast on every surface. Look at Ostberg in Finland lately, Meeke's wins, how quick Mikkelsen was in the few events he drove it, how fast Loeb was with it this year. Ogier in a C3 WRC would have just as much chance to win the title as in a Fiesta WRC I think... But ok, I'm not an expert, and don't know enough about it to blame the aero and chassis...

    And your opinion is based on what? Statistics don`t lie if the driver is up to it, then the car performs fine.

    I can't see Citroen paying big for Ogier and then also signing Lappi too?
