    Bertelli announced he's doing one WRC round, so nominating him is better than nothing if the main drivers fail...Bertelli did Argentina last year and retired from gearbox problems from eight place but also there were less works cars (only two Toyotas and two Citroens).

    Teemu Suninen might get more WRC starts than previously anounced.

    He also talks about his chances of winning in Finland as well as his strenghts and weeknesses.

    I guess it will also depend how well he does in the first half of the season. If he does well it will make sense to give him more rounds as he will have more experience with the car than any 'rich local'...

    More or less if some bloke shows money he will probably not be in the car for more rounds despite of his strong performance. This is reality.

    But this year M-Sport has more Ford support (money) .

    If they still need points towards the Championships then why just take money from someone who wont win any..

    It's because they don't really care about WRC that much. They throw some more bucks into the game and that's it. Still Redbull providing a lot od money. If they were interested, they would immediately reveal not just wait till the dead lines. And for few years not just this one, where Ogier is still in game and they have a chance of another trophy.

    Not that much more money. My guess is still that they had reserved some rallies for Camilli, but he's struggling for budget or the team wants to see how the start of the season goes before allocating the third car for the remaining rallies. If they're going to Mexico with three cars it should make sense to do it also for Argentina.
