    How many jokers does a team get per season?

    On Citroen: Well, they already got Mikkelsen, who would they replace Meeke with? Ostberg? Prokop? Bertelli?

    Running Mikkelsen for a one-off or limited programme is not the same thing as a permanent deal. They don't have him yet.

    If you genuinely believe Meeke's seat is in danger you're wrong.

    Yes, but the article was about Meeke's seat being safe. So eventhough Mikkelsen is only booked for Italy as of now, they would hardly put Lefebvre back and then replace Meeke with Mikkelsen. I'm saying they can't replace Meeke for any rally to give him a break because there are no drivers left to replace him with. You know what I mean?

    Maybe they mean next season? It's all different, Ogier could be looking for a new drive by then and everything could change.

    And you cant blame M-Sport for getting behind a 4x world champion that they are paying a fortune in any case.
    TBF, twice...once in Sweden and second time in Argentina.

    No but only because they need to replace Lefebvre first...

    Meeke can be only 2nd driver in the team. Under pressure he breaks.

    Re Ogier having a new car for Portugal...

    I learned that Neuville also had a brand new car there too. So no 'advantage' for Seb in that respect.
