    Why? I mean, he is not good on tarmac (says it himself all the time), one of the main surfaces DMack has a lot to do and hasn`t been brilliantly fast on other events in recent years...DMacks philosophy, apart from developing their tyres ofc, seems to be giving opportunities to young and developing drivers or fast drivers the very least.

    True, and Østberg probably wouldn't give up his OneBet sponsorship. Also, what will happen to Østberg's car if he becomes an M-Sport driver? His WRC17 Fiesta is bought, not rented.

    Sell it back, get a discount and drive with his car, rent it to others, sell it to others. Many oppurtunities i believe.

    No I believe he signed a two-year deal with M-Sport having an option on Camilli for 2018. So in theory they could split now. Or maybe Malcolm and his backers will continue to support him.

    All this endless 2018 speculation...

    I wonder if some WRC Teams leave their announcements to the last minute as they are getting all this 'free publicity' of people discussing them continuously.

    Rallies are paired, so have to use same car with same set-up (like Mexico and Argentina)
    This problem has happened to Mikkelsen and Citroens this year, driving with wrong set-up.

    "People" = a bunch of geeks on a forum. Very important for marketing strategies.

    It's much bigger than just here... all over social media, blogs, podcasts, as well as articles in the motorsport press.

    Guys, just because you agree with AnttiL calling you geeks you dont have to stop discussing...

    M-Sport needs you to keep their name in the news and keep the pressure on Ford !


    Social media is doing its part:

    RallyCaptures‏ @Rally_Captures
    Rumour mill is in overdrive about Ford returning to the @OfficialWRC with official backing for M-Sport - fantastic if it comes off ! #WRC
