Big question is if they get their man how does that team come together next year? Unless they run four cars someone is getting turfed out. Loeb/Lefebvre sharing a car seems to make sense. You have to wonder if it's between Kris and Craig for the other seat...

Again I think the four-car rule is needed to save the career of Sordo, Hanninen and maybe Meeke?
As far as im aware Meeke is there next year for the full season, can't see that changing now. If/when Citroen announce Seb they will have not only filled their need for a French driver, but will have signed the best driver in the world. Someone is going to have showcase the new C3 R5s potential and that is a perfect role for Lefebrve (maybe Breen on 1 or 2 events).

Citroen/ PSA can't just expect that car to sell really well off the back of the last 3 cars being iffy (C3, two R5s). Maybe stepping back for a year like Evans would benefit Lefebrve too, as he has been hugely out his depth this year. No pace and constant crashing.
