M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

Tanak did test the Puma on gravel at M-Sport before he signed and went ahead.

Now he says him and the car are so far apart that he wants a radical change in design philosophy !

He should be keeping such comments behind closed doors.

Exactly! On the side note - i doubt Tanaks team (not M-Sport) are paying to any PR pro - those statements are getting toxic.

Actually from the get go he said that changes are needed. And the only thing that pushed him away from Hyundai was the development process. He got that promise from M-Sport but it takes time.

And why's everyone bashing this interview when he says the car is good but not for his driving style. But when you look at some stages it's not that bad at all.

It's his stage end commentaries which are with a bad tone, this interview does sound like an honest assesment about the whole situation.

This is starting to sound like Auriol and ‘The Feeling’….
Let’s see what MSport can come up with.

Just let me remind you when Tänak got the car to his liking in TGR for JML it became undriveable

Which setup needs Puma to match the style of Ott?

I'd argue at least half of it was due to Latvala crumbling under a strong team mate.

I've seen this being repeated time after time without anyone ever showing some hard evidence. Why would they pay millions to hire a world champion if they don't actually want him?

Look at it the other way, perhaps neuville is the only driver who is good enough to make the shitty hyundai look good.
