Story in MN today with Kris Meeke saying he thinks it's wrong that Citroen have dropped Breen for three events. He's pleased to see Loeb join the team but thinks it shouldn't have been at the expense of a full-season drive for Craig.
Nice to see someone come out and say it like it is. Story up online soon I assume.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Well if he does another season like this one his drive options will pretty much involve a yellow sign on the roof... he'd fully deserve it too.
The worst thing is that he doesn't seem to realize just how disastrous his campaign was. When WRC TV asked them to rate their season he gave it a 6/10 "because we showed some speed". Really Meeke? You and Paddon were the only ones to write off a body shell this season and you wrote off TWO. Paddon actually knows his season was shit and gave it negative figures out of 10... and he showed some speed too.
Meeke will never learn untill he swallows humble pills for real and get his act together.

Meeke's season was better than Paddon's, but Paddon had a co-driver change, girlfriend change and the spectator accident none of which was not his fault. Also the car was better suited to other drivers in the team and he crashed from the one rally he was leading. He also suffered a number of technical problems on rallies where he could have been successful. (Sweden, Mexico, Portugal).

Meeke won 2rallies and it most likely would've been 3 had the car not broken down in Corsica. Every driver who has driven the C3 has complained about how narrow an operating window it has, and the clear faults that exist. These are just facts, just like how he crashed to much by pushing the car too hard at times.
So 6/10 for his season is probably fair.

I don't think it's right to blame Meeke too much for all what's wrong with the C3 WRC... We cannot tell how much influence he had on the people who designed/engineered the car. The struggle Citroën is going through reminds me of the days Peugeot had the 307.

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
What's the first thing to come to...
