    And as we have seen before, contracts can be terminated. No contract is made with a suitable clause or many for both parties to stop or change it. Lefebvre for example, was told to compete everywhere expect Argentina but who is in his car atm? Tänak after a bad 2012, which was supposed to be the first year of a five-year deal etc...

    Are you trying to say that Meeke is not aware of this? No way Meeke is having navigation issues.

    Maybe Meeke has always been too influenced by his mentor McRae, who only won one title mainly due to his inconsistency and win it or bin it approach.

    And he's too old to change now.

    Yeah, just miss one morning and so much has happened.
    About citrone - are there any options to develop the car mid season? Or it's forbidden now, by rules?

    Yes, they'll have a suspension update later this year, and I expect that won't be the only thing they develop on the car.

    That tire choice.... Tanak has been scared about tires so no surprise. But do I smell Citroens desire to finish in decent points in Mikkelsen's choice?
