Nasser won't be starting RMC and 5 other events.

Pic of Ilka in the new official Ford jacket at the test, so guess Novikov is 2nd driver at M-Sport then...?

Re Matthew Wilson:
Well, he is still young enough to re-start his career. As has been said here many times, IMHO, he should run in a lower category - the new WRC2 would seem to suit him (+his Dad) well.

What he should have spent the last few years doing is learning the business - not being a customer of it.

There must be money first... ;) Even WRC2 is expensive... And honestly I don't think anybody is really waiting for his comeback, everyone knows his potential already after so many years driving in very good conditions...

Then... the M-sports's line up is Novikov and Ostberg? I don't see any competitive driver in here..

Novikov crash.... e son 2 :D

does Novikov still have a link with D0-Mack (Russia), or does Qatar M-Sport Ford play it safe and stick with Michelin?
