Dont like it at all.
Shame, it actually looked better beforehand and they managed to ruin it

I think it looks better with the silver on the front wings instead of white.Quote:

The silver front bothers me also, if they use silver rims maybe? The Tanak car looked better to me toQuote:

They made it worse. I don't like the silver and I don't understand why they took away the fragmentation on the dark blue...
Think I prefer the Dmack car, there's too much going on with Ogier's.
Absolutely agree mate.Quote:

It sounded like Ogier thought the new Fiesta compared quite well with the 2017 Polo. I think that's what is giving Wison some confidence until his car can compare with the others for real in Monte.
According some sources, Ogier said that Fiesta have some things better than Polo. Some weaker too offcourse ;)
Not correct, that would be more like the price of running a two car team for a season according to Veiby.Quote:

The best thing I can say is they'll look a lot cooler driving around with a wing torn off. But then rally cars have always looked cool continuing on after taking body damage that would stop a circuit racer.
The Red Bull livery is fairly consistent with all their other competition cars, so ugly or not at least the brand's on message.
question is how many events FIA would ask them to compete to obligate homologationQuote:

I saw the Fiesta live today with that livery and it looks really OK
It looks amazing for me ;)
Mads on Sweden
Prokop on Mexico
Two car team after that

Does it look better in person than in the various pictures that have been posted? I'm hoping that it's just the lighting that isn't doing it any favours in the pics posted on here.Quote:

Ostberg has the best media team of all WRC drivers/teams. So far the most present driver in Media 2017 apart from Ogier, but much more present than all the other works team drivers.Quote:

Ari Vatanen tells Le Dauphine he urged Malcolm Wilson to give Seb Ogier a test.
"As much as humanly sportingly, Sébastien is a really great man. He is friendly and has easy contact. And sportingly, what more can you ask for? He is gifted." summed up the Finn Ari Vatanen.
He does not skimp in superlatives to talk about the high alpine champion. Gifted, dominant, ultra-fast, ultra-regular. World champion for the fourth time in 2016, Sébastien Ogier has no equal. At least not yet. Recently, Volkswagen withdrew from the circuit and Ogier had to choose a new team.
He turned to M-Sport, run by Malcolm Wilson, a long time friend of Ari Vatanen. "I encouraged him to test Ogier, then take him. It was obviously a risk for the team, especially financially. It is a wise choice on the part of Sébastien. "

Monte Carlo is soon upon us and I can't remember a year when it was so hard to predict the end of the year as this one.
The new regs and the demise of VW sure shook things up.
I predict unpredictability in this year's rallies given that Msport aren't really known for their durability and Meeke and Neuville aren't really known for their ability to always stay on the road.
Let's hope for another golden era with a lot of manufacturers to come in 2018 and 19.
Neuville crashed once in 2016, in Mexico. Last 8 rallies he never finished lower then 4th. If that isn't being regular, I don't know who is...Quote:

Well, the year before that he crashed a few times and let's be realistic, Ogier has a neater track record than him.Quote:

Compared to Ogier he is less neat for sure.
