Having driving skills doesn't automaticly mean understanding the car. There are fast drivers who doesn't even make their own setups and there are also slower drivers who make setups for them. I don't know how good Mathew is, maybe he realy is. Who of us realy knows?
Matthew had also done the first test with the new Focus,so I don't see a problem...Nevertheless,Markko Martin and the two official drivers will be involved(and possibly Marcus) in the evolution process,so let Matthew take a little bit of advertisement...!!!
Why not? Kresta was so succesful with the Fiesta S1600 after all!Quote:

yu'd get sick of this anti matt vibe hes there and thats it so would every body get over themselves you get sick of the moaning
There was no real development on Fiesta in 2006 and even no interest in it from M-Sport. He said he was frustrated by useless cruising with slow and unreliable car over national rallys...Quote:
