1.
Probably because he don't trust Malcolm Wilson. M-Sport really f*cked up his job. They didn't solve the problems with gearbox for the whole season. It's the same story as Anthony Warmbold few years ago, e.g. Kubica loose chance for good result before start to 2nd leg at Catalunya just because they put used parts in his Fiesta.

just for curiosity, what was the problem you cited about Warmbold and m-sport?thanks

WEC could be a choice?or the space inside the car is very limited?

I thought too about WEC, these are for exaples taken from LMP1 by Porsche

yes It's tight but still manageable

Porsche said the 3rd car will be assigned to Porsche gt-drivers
Toyota? Audi? Nissan is coming but I don't think will be ready to fight against the "big ones" mentioned

I mean that Kubica and Warmbold didn't receive what they paid for. Also, I don't know if it's true, but some rumours saying that M-Sport after this season must return some money to Kubica.

All season, plus handbrake problems multiple times. You don't remember because it's not like gearbox broke and he couldn't continue. Mainly it was problems with changing gear, sometimes the gear changed after 2-3 tries. This is from rally GB for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9gZkGECqMc#t=18
The fact is that it was difficult to fix, because the system he uses is homologated, so it's problematic to make changes to it.

Here is another example of the gear shifting issues he had this season, Rally de Espana this time (listen to the engine sound at the end of the clip)

That sounds more like it drops a cylinder. PS one of the videos you posted was selecting reverse.

Can't be any worse then my current rally cars old gearbox (C52) used to be...graunchy into second, graunchy coming down from 3rd to second. Had to nanna into 3rd. Now have a nice and smooth C56.
