Interesting quote:
"We want to work with a manufacturer,” he said. “That’s what we’re looking towards, that’s what we’re here for. It gave us all a great deal of satisfaction to be the leading point-scoring Fiesta in Argentina. Those points we scored for M-Sport were the first we’ve ever won for a manufacturer and that was special for us.”
M-Sport to run DMacks in future ?

From the same article:
[M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson has ruled out any potential shift to move Sebastien Ogier and Ott Tanak from Michelin to DMACK, even though the rules would now permit such a move.]
Maybe he wants to see out this season before such a radical move.

Could Msport if they wanted to, put Ogier and Tanak on Dmack tyres for selected events (like the dry dusty gravel rallies we have coming up)? Or is that not allowed?

Regardless of the who owns what - it would be interesting to know this from a rules perspective. I can't imagine it's something you'd do from a business standpoint, as it would piss Michelin off something rotten. We've seen the rule change (or clarification) this year to enable a works team to run multiple tyre manufacturers - but not whether you can change mid-season.

For sure M-Sport would have a fixed contract with Michelin for the 'factory' cars.
Those stickers on the cars don't just come from goodwill....
I think we saw this one coming, didn't we?
