    Tänak saying in estonian media that they have a lot work to do with their car, reliability wise and speed wise. Saying that if even the champ is struggling on tarmac then there they have to come up with something. Understeer is their biggest problem.

    Yeah you got the sense that Ogier's patience ran out on this rally. Four rounds in and with a 13-point championship lead haha.

    They wanted to sign the best and this is what you get. He takes no sh*t.


    Reminds me of what Malcolm Wilson said when Carlos Sainz first linked up with the team when M-Sport took on the factory role. He basically laid down the law and demanded that they step up to his level. And I think Ogier will do the same now. They will welcome it I believe.

    Which was totally understandable at the time, since it was basically still Malcolm Wilson Motorsport. But M-Sport has been a world rally team for 20 years now, so official factory backing or not, it's not like they're the new kid on the block anymore.

    Very true but look at the new benchmark VW set in the WRC. They changed the game, so there's surely lots M-Sport can do to improve. Okay a lot of that takes money - but some of it Ogier can help instigate.

    I don't believe they will. MW is using WRC to make money. I don't see Ogier staying any longer than this season with them.

    They can't really change anything.Group A days where anyone could use their own kit are long.Every part now is homologated by the manufacturer and there isn't an option for using something else.So, we are talikng about a few clicks on the suspension at best.Can they make any significant difference?I highly doubt it.

    The diffs as well, but it must be mostly just setup stuff.
