MSport might go for something like 2018 with one top driver and two very cheap/paydrivers.
But it all might be a way to put more pressure on Hyundai.

I dont see Tanak leaving Hyundai to come back to M-Sport, even if MW was to pay out of his own money like with Ogier.
He may not be happy about the team-orders in Greece, but at least the i20 is now improved in speed and reliability.
Ogier left for Citroen bcs M-Sport couldnt afford to develop the Fiesta and the same will probably happen now with the Puma.
I only see Tanak moving to M-Sport if Ford come back too.
It´s stupid by Ford of Europe if they are not able to pay Tänak´s salary, because Ford has already put a lot of money to develop the Puma. M-Sport can always say that they have no money for Tänak, but without him there will be only Loeb who can win some events next year. Of course it might be that this is enough for Ford, but clearly much more would be possible.
my Dream Line up for 2023
Ford M-Sport
- Tanak
- Mikkelsen
- Loubet
- Greensmith
Toyota Gazoo
- Rovanpära
- Lappi
- Evans
- Katsuta
- Ogier (4-5 Rallyes)
Neuville World Rally Team (ex Hyundai)
- Neuville
- Neuville´s Brother
- Sordo
- Solberg (as long as Papa pays)
Two MSport drivers led the rally and won stages in Greece.
None of them is going to NZ. Instead they have a driver that crashed every second rally this year and is currently 18th in WRC with 9 points, behind 4 Rally2 cars that started half as many rallies.
