Some valid points stating the obvious. Money is the essence of MSport.
The Fiesta was in the pace for the 2nd manu position before the current line up binned it.
MSport's business will never generate enough cash to attract/afford a "decent" driver, without official backing with a project, hence no glory.

Great post. It was always that way since the 2000's.
Even when Ford had strong investing on WRC, the Focus was always a step behind, and it seems it was not by any lack of potential from the car and from the team, it was lack of investment in development.
It's easy, if Citroen invested 50 million on WRC, all the 50 milion went to the road. If Ford invested 50 milion, only less than 45 million would come to the road.
That's business, nothing wrong with that. But it should be taken in account when we see Wilson saying "if i had a top driver..."
Somebody has to take the risk and invest, Wilson is asking to someone to do that instad doing it himself.Three gears are enough!

Will be interesting to see how the paperwork gets filed with the FIA. Whether there's some sort of M-Sport B-team in play or Bertelli is just getting an arrive and drive package. Do M-Sport own the Fiesta or does Lorenzo?

Someone on here was slagging off the poor M-Sport website the other day...
It looks like they must've been reading as its just be re-launched: http://www.m-sport.co.uk/#M-SPORTER

Maybe the official coverage didnt make the most of the island and the rally and once again it was other creators who came up with some great footage. Tarmac is a contentious surface for some...
