Citroen WRT

[wrc2017]

Matton says he will be back for Finland.

Wonder will they be asking him for a top 5 or a win????

Pathetic really.

Shame but too many accidents in 2017 and it cant go on..

They probably left out Meeke in Poland for the same reason they have Lefebvre here, Meeke hasn't done the rally last year while the 2 others have done the rally & finished,sort of so....and Mikkelsen won the rally last year and if he gets a proper testing session before hand we might be able to see some improvement next time out in Poland.

This. Lefebvre was actually quite impressive in Poland last year.

Let's see how Mikkelsen improves his speed. At least now it should be a rally he can be fast on.

So, Citroen is now starting to get desperate and gamble...I think Matton's head is hanging from a very thin rope...Especially if he is the only obstacle in a theoritical Ogier comeback...

At least Meeke sees the problem himself and accepts the proposition, very decent of him.

Wut, what choice does he have? It's not like he can force himself to the cockpit.

When was the last time a lead driver was "rested"?

Duval comes to mind.

Im quite sure the reality is different from the press release..

Well what I've read it was a suggestion from Matton, not a demand. But it's probably just for the sake of PR. I'm no expert on contracts (far from), just thought as long he has signed to do the rounds he has the legal right to do so.

Im quite sure the reality is different from the press release..

Yeah, probably.

I can't see Ogier signing with Citroën with that joke (team, car, chief).

I will be not surprised if Citroën goes out WRC in the end of the season.

[Andre Oliveira]

If Andreas fails. They hire Loeb and Sainz

After this move by Citroen, I just can't see Meeke in WRC overall next season. Very unfortunate, a likeable driver who is always a pleasure to watch driving. Too bad he bins it way too often.
