First of all, thank you very much tr4m for posting this. Fascinating read. And props to Meeke for honestly telling things as he sees them. Is it "the truth"? Ofcourse not. But it's the truth for Kris Meeke and that's more than enough.

The only thing not for my liking was the way Meeke tried to play the victim card - so to say - when it came to development of the C3 WRC. Okay, so he was the only test driver without anyone to share the feelings with, and there was no DS3 WRC available for comparison, but... once you've flagged these issues as show-stoppers (you get the assumption from the story that Meeke did just that) and they don't lead to any changes, you basically have two options: to walk away or to stick with your role. And - in my books - choosing the latter means accepting the decision of not changing anything and with that also comes the obligation of not playing the wise guy later on. I.e. if I was mr. Matton or mr. Budar, I'd be pissed off for breaking that "code".
