[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[N.O.T]

For sure he's no WC in the making, but he could have a future in the sport like many good-but-not-great drivers. I'm thinking of Sordo, Hirvonen or Ostberg for example

the aforementioned are WRC event winners, Lefebre is nothing and will remain to be nothing.

Lefebvre isn't doing himself any favors by trash-talking like he did. He's a nobody for now and should be more humble and not tell everyone what Meeke thinks about the situation. I'm pretty sure Matton won't be happy to read that interview.

That is, if the interview wasn't made up by the press, like it always loves to do. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to speak out like that?

You'd be enemy to Meeke, Matton and Ogier who could land in his very same team. Not a great way to start your 2 year contract...

There is too much fake politeness around.

I don't know the word neither, but as "pleurer" means crying, I think we can imagine what he means

For sure but I think Lefebvre has been more strategic than "honest".

[Rally Power]

I think with that interview he could've easily paved the way to making room for Ogier...

Maybe he's reflecting Citroen's team general feeling. Probably many still remember that it was Ogier who slam their door. If he had a little more patience he'd probably get 1st driver status one year later and would not helped VW's dominance...

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Lefebvre already has enough seat competition with Meeke & Breen, he doesnt need Ogier coming in and knocking him even further down the pecking order.

This isn't a case of being polite or not. He's being plain stupid with his comments (if they are true). How would you react to them if you were Meeke or Matton?

[smsgrafica]

Un prétentieux pleurnichard

= arrogant crybaby

C'mon, Ostberg was gifted his lone win and Sordo only got his because Ogier & Latvala crashed while in the lead...

Of course, but they were there to grab the opportunity, Lefebre would be nowhere near the leader to even be gifted a win or a podium or even a piece of spoiled cheese that even a street rat would pass by, he is nothing.
