I agree with a lot of this and I do have some sympathy for Millener. Social media is massive nowadays and he is a fairly young guy and very aware of it unlike his boss, Mr Wilson. The attacks can be very painful, especially if their not seen as fact-based.

However the reputation of the firm and the 'blue cars' cant be helped at all if they're often breaking down and sometimes not even restarting.

M-Sport need new talent in. Impressed by Olivier, he should get a rally2 and next year rally1 program

I'm afraid a young driver can ruin his/her career in wrong car/team, it can of course go well too.

Depends on driver probably, if its oliver doing bad people will blame the car, if he doing good he is next god.
If its"wrong'' driver, i don't mention his name, he is useless if its going bad, if its going good, the car is much better again....

if i would be Oliver i would definitely go for Toyota Rally2 seat and some outings in Rally1 car instead of M-sport

M-sport would be the second choice for him i guess because of the history with Hyundai and Thierry

The question is not where Oliver wants to go, but just as much which team wants him. It seems toyota's lineup is pretty solid with rovanpera, evans and katsuta. But perhaps in a 4th car.
