Meeke has probably blown his chances for the title already. Shocking start to the season.
Breen isn't overdriving the car, when he feels uncomfortable he is backing off a little. Meeke will more often than not be faster, but seems less prone to back off, so it's not so much of a surprise.
Citroens goals this year are to win some rallies, not titles until next year. Kris is still the favourite to do that for Citroen, so maybe his approach of not backing off isn't as wrong as you might think.
Sometimes you need to go beyond the limit to find the limit, find where the car needs to be improved. It looks bad doing it on a rally, but you have no yardstick to measure against when testing.
