Besides, I think Breen also got more rallies (at least Catalunya) because Meeke was gone.

Didn't say they ditched meeke to make room for Ostberg, merely they favoured him in the car. That was a by product of sacking meeke

And that's exactly why it would be far-fetched to say Meeke was sacked in favour of Østberg.

Ah ok.
In that case, I must be in a parallel universe, where Citroen didn't sack Meeke and Ostberg didn't drive the remaining rallies.

Oh..., a dreaded vote of confidence already.

Raising likelihood of seeing Ostberg competing in WRC main category rallies this season?

**racerx1979** · 29th April 2019, 20:27

You have to admit, Ostberg was fairly consistent and rarely binned the car... every team could use an Ostberg or Sordo for consistent points.

Hardly a surprise. Least Citroen are listening to him from the get go
