Looks cool.
Still no big sponsor again though.

Makes me wonder if they need one. I guess between self sponsorship (M-Sport), Castrol and the Ford input, they have enough to run a whole season. Aside from bringing more money to reduce the running costs and pay wages, I wonder if a title sponsor would actually allow for more development and therefore a faster car? Or would they simply operate at the same performance level, but with reduced costs for M-Sport?Quote:

It's a fair point - but they obviously 'cut their cloth' accordingly; they are a well run team and make the most of everything they have. A larger budget is always going to help, especially in development, etc however, I do wonder whether a larger budget can sometimes get wasted on non essentials.Quote:

Everyone can use more money. Toyota & Hyundai have plenty but still have major sponsors on their cars...Quote:

Yes, I get that more money is helpful, but I'm wondering if it would help with development and make for a faster car or that it would just help with the other costs etc..Quote:
