Basically if you're not VW you're looking for a driver who can put himself in a position to win if VW self-destruct on a rally.
Meeke at least puts you in position to do that. He can grab a few podiums and other headlines here and there. I'm not really sure what else is left after that? How big of a deal is it to Citroen where they come in the manufacturers when they start the year without a chance of winning? I genuinely don't know the answer to that. There certainly isn't the money that F1 teams scrabble over.
I think Ostberg has hit his ceiling. Tanak to me is a slightly less refined version of Meeke. Paddon has started to become quite intriguing. But really you can move these drivers around between teams and I don't think it will make much difference. It's like musical chairs but I don't think there is some magic combination that is going to suddenly unseat Ogier.
For any big movement I think we need to wait until 2017 and just hope that Citroen are still around.
