    The two are not part of the team?

    What matters is the results. The team is bunch of people who all work to achieve the results. To find what is wrong is important task for the team manager but from the outside and marketing point of view (WRC is foremost a marketing tool for the brand) it doesn't matter whose mistake it is - it's a problem of Citroën as a brand. Their problem in post-Loeb era has been that the management hasn't worked as it should - it hasn't achieved to build a team which delivers results. Simple as that.

    In fact I am not really surprised by present results. I am more surprised Citroen used to be professional team on the top level 10 years ago. That was quite a miracle.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    It’d be even simpler just to admit that Meeke SS1 and Breen SS3 issues were real bad luck.

    Why not give them a break? Besides, there's still a long way till the last SS; other teams may end the rally with less points than Citroen.
