I bet M-Sport needs some serious money now. Some random pay driver will probably drive. Who?

Yeah, their business is really big. 27 different drivers have used Fiesta WRC in WRC rallies (just WRC rallies), 106 rally starts with Fiesta WRC. And if you think that 48 drivers (205 rally starts with WRCars) have driven WRCars in WRC this year (including Spain - most of the entries are already known), then their share is a bit over 50%. That is a lot. Plus all the RRCars, basically the same as WRCars+ S2000 cars..and that is WRC only (just the top of the ice-berg).
The story that Wilson changes to other team does not sound realistic. He needs to continue and promote his team with good drivers to show his goods in as good light as possible.Colins Crest = Möldri Mätas

Tried to find M-sports financial figures but I suppose in UK you do not have to make them public for limited companies like in Finland. However, one free service had some basic numbers: Company Check - Free company financial check on M. SPORT LIMITED. Registered number 02105112. Free company accounts. Companies House information
Based on those figures I'd estimate M-sports annual profit to be somewhere near 3 million Euros which is not that much. Based on those It's hard to say about net sales but 20-60 million Euros could be a rough estimate.

Why would Yazeed want to be in a Russian team? He should have his own team with the funds he get get.

Maybe it´s not all bad, if I remember correctly the deal between Ford and M-sport was such that 50% of every sold car went back to Ford. Ford not being involved should mean M-sport keeps the hole profit of this.
Also they will still have some sort of support(technical and engineering) precisly what this means I can´t say, but if they keep providing them with at least some parts that are not M-sport made than the support would actually be quit significant.

M-Sport needs the paying driver now more then ever. Yazeed and Novikov seem the be the most valuable drivers around with a steady and wealthy budget. If there will be a M-Sport / Ford team for the manufacturer championship Malcolm Wilson has to look for these drivers

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
