Actually, the same could be said from Wilson...expect the ‘former star’ part.

You should realize they’re team owners, not simple managers.

You really believe that Tänak is the one who is choosing ?
Malcolm, Tommi and Ogier are!
Rest will go where they are allowed, not where they want.

http://www.iltasanomat.fi/ralli/art-2000003027800.html in Finnish 10 questions to Tommi.

New info is that 3rd car will probably be in only 7 events (starting from Portugal or Corsica)

Not really.Wilson was never the focus of M-Sport,except the years they didn't have a good name driver.Sainz/Kankkunen/McRae were the faces of the team for the first years,then it was Martin,Gronholm and later Mikko/JML/Petter and lastly Neuville.

Stick to the subject instead of chipping in on every single post with your opinions. You're getting as bad as NOT...

You on the other hand are getting veeery touchy. Mirek's post made all the sense in the world. If Msport has money, they have the chance to develop the car and it makes it a realistic choice for a very competitive driver whose main goal is to be top of the podium all the time.

calm down boy.

If Mäkinen doesn't get Ogier, he should go for Mikkelsen. Latvala will never change. Over 10 years, and he has not, so never will

Having good name drivers on the line up doesn't mean you're making them the team focus. Honestly, I bet Wilson is eager to sign Ogier because he feels that's a huge opportunity to get back Ford's full support to MSport. If so, he's being smart and looking for his business sake. Best luck to him!

You are getting very sensitive about TMR and Tommi. Ofcourse drivers can choose if they have offers on the table. Quite silly comment from you.
