Ford ends M-Sport run in WRC?

[Rallyper]

I think that JML will be run by M Sport,with private backing,that Ford will go the way of WTC .I feel that Ford expected better results that have not come ,because I am told there are lots of problems with Fiesta,this can only be due to not enough development,due to the money not being allocated to testing,and probably gone as a profit to Malcolm,or to help Mathew in his programme.Ford are not happy,otherwise it would have been sorted ages ago.Feel sorry for Jari,but he needed answers earlier too

I still believe that JML wouldn´t be unaware of such conditions mentioned. So I think that is only speculations.

For sure everyone putting money in something wants a payback. But hasn´t that been the case anyway, even if maybe too much money gone the wrong way into MW´s pocket?

Ford as a brand, I think has a good reputation thanks to the efforts in WRC.

Ford have never owned the rally cars,they are the sole property of M Sport,and the entire rally team has been leased to Ford,with sponsorship from Abu Dhabi and others.So Ford are losing no money as they have no rally team or employees,on preparation base.M Sport ran as a private company,is there to do a job ,which in turn ,they need paying for.

I'm quite sure second driver has been signed already but it will be published when the time is right.

Exactly.

too much money to new motorhome ?

[Rallyper]

Exactly.

Well, and that corresponds with my quotes above.

(It is Petter, isn´t it?)

[MJW]

Well, and that corresponds with my quotes above.

(It is Petter, isn´t it?)

my guess the other VW driver is Latvala.

According to the co-driver of vovos who claims to be very close friends with phill mills Solberg is signed by VW and the deal is 95% done.

N.O.T. I thought you were scientist. Surely if Solberg was 'signed' by VW wouldn't the deal be 100% done?
