    at Monte plenty depents at tyre choice,so he could have a good result,if the weather/road/tyre choice circumstances allow or favour him
    At Corsica i dont think that he can be fast against wrc regulars.

    of course, if he doesn't crash. there's only 11 factory wrc drivers in monte, and half of them is going to retire.

    but i do expect him to be the slowest, especially in the beginning.

    5th place is absolutely achievable on Monte.

    I think Bouffier is like an insurance policy and wildcard for MSport in the Monte. He is expected to finish and could finish well if some cars retire. Furthermore he could be a wildcard if conditions are unpredictable and he gets a good tyre choice.

    For Corsica I guess he's a safer option than Suninen, plus maybe he got enough budget for 2 rounds so he chose his home event.

    I think Suninen just couldn't get a budget for full season. But on last year's TDC, Suninen was faster than Bouffier on the two stages Bouffier drove before retiring (althougn not sure if he had problems with the car)

    At least different brands, probably also at least separate subcompanies. MS-RT makes road cars, M-Sport motorsport vehicles.
