Citroen WRT

[mknight]

what still buzzes me and always will (because i have asked this before but havent got an answer) is what went wrong between 2016 and 2017....i remember him sayin good things about the new car in 2016, i think it was at finland that year where he said "just wait till I get into the new car".

But then came 2017 and all is suddenly so wrong.

Exactly robot

Could have been PR, or as Matton said ("all drivers were happy with tests) - something that you couldn't see on the tests.

He did say he wanted Ogier to join at end of 2016. As we talked about here many times before, Citroen's (Mattons?) biggest mistake was not getting another experienced driver in 2016 or at least for 2017 start.

Lot of the rest is post-divorce talk with only one side telling the story with some small details wrong (there was DS3 on Meeke's own pre Germany 2017 (EDIT: corrected) test before Loebs Catalunya test for example).

Very interesting part for me is how he says Loeb's tirechoice on Sunday in Catalunya was obvious and he would have done the same. Meeke was at Toyota in the service park most of the weekend, dunno if he was there sunday morning, but none of the Toyotas went with those tires. Bluuford wrote about his experience and said it was against all recommendations.
