New RedBull feature praising M-Sport 'giant-killers':

Maybe they are going to be the big sponsor they have been looking for, and /or how they will keep Ogier ?

It's a sad situation when a rally winner is expected to pay to drive.

Total nonsense... M-Sport is not interested in any driver who is expecting to get paid and have not bunch of sponsors behind him...

Why the hell won't M-Sport pay a driver?

Ask Wilson, I don't know for sure why. I think that money isn't a problem (they are probably cheap), besides he is building a secret testing track for car manufacturers, that's clearly he grow his business.

But look it that way, he usually bring these youngsters and make them competitive and then works team grab them well prepared for attacking the rallies

The M-SPort WRT team is only a expense and a promotional thing. And for a company, big expenses are not good for making profit (to promote the R5 that could only run the WRC2 team). So they do not need to have best drivers. If they have someone paying the expenses then they are happy.

Ogier:

yes, this sport still gives me strong emotion. Right now I have no announcement, maybe soon. I’m sure some of you here have made the right guess or the right bet, but I’m not 100 per cent sure, I’m still thinking and still analysing. There is one offer from my wife and she’s pushing pretty hard to keep me home, but I know I still need some adrenalin, let’s see.

So by the word of Neuville, Neuville will be there, rest of the guys will sharing cars maybe?

Seb could quit?

Evans is in M-Sport...

Neuville and Mikkelsen will have a full season at Hyundai, nothing confirmed for Paddon and Sordo.

Seb just said above that he still wants to continue the sport.

Sordo and Paddon will surely be splitting time in the Hyundai with Sordo doing all the Tarmac events including Spain and Hayden gravel.

Sordo: Monte-Carlo, Tour De Corse, Germany, Spain (4 events)
Paddon: all of the rest (9 events)

You know that this is not fair...
