Silly Season 2019

I said a while ago on here Meeke had been in discussions with Toyota, Hyundai too. Makinen clearly likes him so ofcourse he's an option if Lappi surprisingly leaves.

However I still don't see it happening unless Citroen have genuinely doubled or tripled Lappi's salary. Otherwise why else would he leave Toyota to join the red army??

I also still think it was bad call for Citroen to ax Meeke - despite somewhat understanding it. An Ogier, Meeke and Breen/Ostberg line-up is really strong and in Kris, Ogier would have someone else in the team able to mix it at the front on rallies next year. This season it's been clear Seb has suffered without Evans and Suninen taking big points off his title rivals - like Tanak did last season. Seb and Kris get along well too, with Meeke almost pushing for Seb to come into the team as soon as he left VW.

But if Citroen have the money to get Lappi AND Seb, then they'll certainly have a very strong driver line-up next season.
