After stage 13 Meek was just 15 sec behind Ogier. Both Ford’s was far behind Neuville also. But Tanak and Ogier drove the best they could and ended up 2 and 3. And they did it with a car that clearly had less grip than both Toyota and Hyundai, probably at the same level as Citroen.

MEEK, stop whining at once, and start to do the best you can all the time, from now and on.

And You know that how?

[Coach 2]

I dont know, but I and a couple of my best friends (rally drivers) spectating on a lot of stages, thought so.

[Mirek]

Thanks, I thought so.

Don't know if you where sarcastic or not, but that don't mater.
On friday with start nr 1 and 2 for Ogier and Latvala, I am suprised that this has not been mentioned previously.

Do you mind me asking if you have seen the onboard from stage 17? If you haven't, you should watch it. The car clearly has a major handling issue.

I agre, did I say I dident. But that is rallying. Set up problems are normal especially with new cars, no matter how much you test. A test is a test.
This is precisely why you must do the best you can with what you have, especially in a championship with many races.

Sorry - I don't understand if you have or haven't seen it?

I'll say what I think again though - the car clearly has a major handling fault. Not one of the other drivers will have experienced such a crap car in Sweden as Meeke did (Possibly Green, of course)...

After day one (SS8) Meeke is 2,1 behind Tanak and 3,9 in front of Ogier.
The handeling and speed of the Ford's are fine and Citroen are hopeless?
Or could it be like I said that the Ford boys did the best they could?

It is entirely possible that the Citroen team experienced a fault which caused the handling issue (possibly a sensor related to the centre diff or that they went 'the wrong way' with set up). Each of these possibilities could have occurred after the Sunday.
Once again, you need to watch the onboard from stage 17 (Meeke) and your opinion will change, I am sure - the back of the car is literally all over the place...
