[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

We cannot speculate that Qatar is funding enough money for M-Sport to give one let alone two drivers a car and the drivers NOT paying M-Sport for the seat! Does anyone know how much M-Sport got from Qatar? No! So we can't say someone is being greedy or not

For those who miss N.O.T comments, i can give it a try...

I´m not sure if I misunderstand something here. What´s so funny.

Mads clearly said the other day he won´t pay for driving next year.

And if he did it´s even more peculiar that M-sport can´t fund drivers line up with sponsormoney from Qatar. Or does all the money only pay for the setup of the team? Or in the pocket of MW?

Hard to say which direction M Sport should take, o.k. you have two young and up coming talents in Ostberg and Novikov. Very quick young guys but would they qualify as team leaders? Its one thing running as a private entry trying to get good results where there isn't really any pressure but to score points for what is a works team i'm afraid it could lead to a lot more bent bodyshells.

He won't pay... That does not mean that he doesn't take any other sponsors (that he already had this year) to the team. ;)

MW is a fool not to accept that, because of the different circumstances coming up for the championship, eg. Loeb won´t drive all season JML ans Ogier in new car, etz.

How do You know MW could run the second official car without those money? We speak about 3 million Euro which is not any pocket money which can be easily replaced by other/in-house funding.

I will however not bother to discuss your arguments, it will just be useless...

By the way point/start ratio in 2012 says quite a lot...

Ostberg 13,56
JML 12,83
Solberg 9,54

Again we´re talking about a sponsorship deal with Qatar which has blown up in media as the replacement for Ford-money. That would be enough. If it´s pocket money from Qatar, then we´ll know what´s gonna happen with M-sport. On their way out from WRC...

I think one is beginning to see that is happening, I´m afraid to say...

How do You know that some article in the media about how much Qatar gives M-Sport is true?

WRC is really sick dog when top drivers have to pay for drive. :D
