    M-Sport on the new car they're building for 2016: http://www.rallysportmag.com.au/home...d-for-2017-wrc

    at the end it says it will be the new Fiesta.

    also they are delayed because no chassis are available

    When was Ostberg fast and we consider him slow nowadays, Ostberg was NOTHING throughout his career, he had some potential but he is where he is because of daddy support.

    If we bring back Hirvonen he is going to be faster than Ostberg.

    Not for quite a while. And why do you think that is?

    Anyone else watched Ostberg's on-boards from Portugal and seen or heard any problems from the down-change/gearbox area ?

    I've watched a few of the stages where he was complaining most and cant tell anything... I guess its all in the feeling.

    Also cant compare with Tanak as the OB camera is behind the driver...

    Ostberg 4th in the Driver's Championship in 2015, when he had a decent car (DS3)... 'Best of the rest' vs the mighty VW's.

    If this makes Ostberg NOTHING, what does that make the others ?

    It makes him consistent, less error prone than most his competitors. Speedwise he is average.
