[WRC] News & Rumours 2019

[EstWRC]

Whilst never looking like winning an event on pace, if your happy to have guys drive for points then Evans,mikkelsen,paddon,ostberg etc are the way to go, if you want someone to challenge the big 3 on pace then meeke needs a seat.

tell me where did he do that this season?

if he tries he crashes. (best example for this is finland this year, crashed even two times)

What are you blabbering about? The only one out of these drivers was Evans who seriously contended for a victory but he was brutally robbed by a puncture and early trouble in Wales kept him out of podium. Meeke was not even close to win an event in 2019 let alone was he consistent enough. Like Märtin said the best Hyundai drivers were those 2 other guys driving a Toyota.

Really, have you followed WRC this season at all? Do I need to answer or are you just playing dumb with me?

Not interested in silly arguments over drivers, I like them all, but fact remains meeke brings speed and entertainment to the championship and I for one would miss him if he got left out.

Definitely I agree and I have always liked him and supported as well. It would be pity if he is not around anymore but If I was a team boss he would not be my pick.

i have always been a fan of the those drivers who have natural raw speed, like Meeke, Latvala, Tänak etc.

But for me, Meeke has had enough chances. This year was his year to prove that he has changed but unfortunately its the same.

Like i said if he pushes then he makes mistakes, if he doesnt push and drives with his head then his pace is around 4-6th.

im not against the idea that he drives next year, but like you say, if you were a team boss you wouldnt pick him and i think the bosses in wrc think the same atm.

First 6 are ok, even in the given order.
After that it's like he went crazy..

Rovanpera is not a WRC driver and even if you would count him he (barely) delivered an obligatory title in a category with close to no cars. Being slower that a few other drivers surprisingly often.

4th driver in the WRC with highest (shared) number of podiums not on the list while all the 4 drivers that drove 3 extra rallies and still delivered worse results both in total and single rallies are there.

The Italians are claiming the news first:

"The contract Ogier has signed with Toyota is for only one season, since the Frenchman maintains his decision to retire after the 2020 World Cup. Evans and Rovanpera have signed for two years.

After this operation and the withdrawal of Citroën there are many pilots who have been unemployed. Esapekka Lappi is the one harmed by the end of the French team, and Jari-Matti Latvala and Kris Meeke discards Toyota. All of them have set sail for Ford M-Sport, their only salvation for next year."
