A nice Happy Birthday/kick in the balls message for Meeke.

As someone who does a lot of work in social media/PR I think I might have thought twice about this...

Thought that too when I saw it earlier. At least Breen and the others weren't as happy clappy as Mikkelsen.

I really do rate Mikkelsen highly but he's spent more time in fields and access roads than on the stages in Poland.

I can't think why that might be.....

Like Tanak today. If he is told to win
You have to accept risks.

For his future with the team he imo needs to show he can drive ok without crashing. So fast enough to be a little bit ahead of Breen. Even leading the whole rally and crashing on last stage would not be good enough else. Not easy to be in his shoes.

Your obessed with running Meeke down.

Meeke's season until Argentina was ok, some crashes (Monte, Sweden off), but win (with crash and other manufacturer car issues) and good speed. 4 crashes in a row in 3 rallies can't be excused, much less called "heroics".

You know what's also interesting, if you look on the last non-tarmac rally where Meeke had sustained performance you get Sweden (up to and including SS11).
Meeke was 5th, beating "2nd level" drivers including Sordo and Paddon (who was down after Monte). Sounds familiar doesn't it? Exactly same level of performance as we saw from whole Citroen team yesterday.

Mexico stands more and more out as lucky result, all other cars had overheating issues with temporary fixes done by limiting power. And Meeke's driving didn't result in an off until last corner and he survived that one.

That is quite sad from Citroen Racing.

Luckily you aren't obsessed with Meeke.

Im only replying to dumbass comments,
but this guy seems obsessed.
He is trolling, while im being positive.

He's making legitimate arguments regarding Meeke's performances, is that really trolling?

Torque speed was sett to more percent at the front than rear on Mikkelsen's car they said on the Citroën live now, not 50/50 like someone stated

[itix]

I seriously can't make sense of the Citroen. Sometimes it seems quick enough, other stages it is too slow and it seems to be consistent on re-runs of stages. It is like it has one fundamental flaw which is only showing up on certain stages or something.

If citroen was smart, they'd stay behind and check where they had pace and where they didn't compared to the others and then go and very seriously check the roads on those stages. That would give them valuable data on what to improve.
