    Paddon, better number 2 than Meeke, fast on gravel and average but consistent on Tarmak.

    Tidemand or if you're waiting for example Kalle then Meeke/Sordo

    Tidemand - Lukyanuk - Paddon if i wanted to take risks

    Suninen for playing it safe

    Meeke is like latvala.... a lost bet, drivers that have the speed for great things but do not have the mental strength to become great.

    Perhaps he signed already without testing (or they didn't have free chassis because of Breen's fire)... many possible explanations other than not being interested in Citroen.

    Logical, they have Camili for comparison with his speed in other cars and Petter can just be a surprise + PR.

    Funny; other French sources have said Ogier already tested the car, which helped him decide to join the reds.

    Btw, how brainless would be to invite him for a test saying: you can come next week, we’ll have Loeb also testing...


    PS: it'd be great to see Meeke in Toyota.
