[WRC] Ardeca Ypres Rally 2022

This is an absolute disaster for M-Sport.

Yeh, I don't think that they can fall back on the drivers wages being the sole contributer to their issues. There are ways around the cost of the drivers wages.

Besides that, they have had quite a few silly technical issues this season. For example, the windscreen wipers have been consistently problematic. Even up to as recent as Friday with Breen.

Overall though, I feel like loubet should now be taking precedent over Formaux. I like Adrien and think he shows a lot of promise, but he could do with a spell in wrc2 to work out his tendency to fall to small mistakes.

Greensmith is not good enough and should become a full paying privateer if he wants to continue. I can't understand why he is in the team.

Breen should never have been hired as a lead driver. Its not his ability that is lacking, he just doesn't seem to have the bottle to lead a team. M-sport should be looking towards a new lead driver for next year. This year is over for them and I have to say, it has been very embarrassing.

I think that Malcom thought that he would get more money from Ford EU and Ford USA but only recently Ford USA has helped in a some way. Also he believed In Breen like many others including me believed.

Should start on time - for powerstage there is always extra time for regroup. And I think if TV stage is in danger, they could cancel previous stage.

Interesting starting order. Rally2 top3 Will start before Rally1's top three.
