Lappi better up his game. Seriously. The whole gameplan of 2019 for Citroen was to have two strong drivers so Seb II could focus on retaining the crown while Lappi would block vital points from other title contenders.
On the other hand, this is not 1997 when Armin Schwarz could be sacked in favor of Juha Kankkunen after six rallies.ku ois neljä pyörää ku vetäis ni ois vähän eri sekunnit kyllä pätkillä, sen mä takaan

I think you're cutting corners there. Case Meeke was a different story altogether (with bad PR, high hopes turned into failure, not even mentioning the driver profile). In 1997 (not that it would be that relevant in this topic, but anyway) there were likes of Kankkunen, Thiry and Vatanen on the sidelines without a contract, and bunch of rookies like Grönholm and Rådström waiting to be signed by someone. Now there probably isn't anyone other than Breen, who would have absolutely zero contractual obligations towards competing teams (and Östberg ofcourse in case of Citroen).

I stand by my last comment, not much difference between 1997-2018.
1997-2019 however, maybe a little different, but you can trust Citroen?

I think another important point was to get rid of their number one driver to send a clear message to the big bosses that they need a new one. Anyway, it's quite far-fetched to say they sacked Meeke in favour of Østberg. He would have driven some rallies anyway and now just got more of them.

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a shakedown of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7OEfYKoYV1/?igsh=czZzYzB1dm9zeHd4 ...
