Looks cool.
Still no big sponsor again though.
Makes me wonder if they need one. I guess between self sponsorship (M-Sport), Castrol and the Ford input, they have enough to run a whole season. Aside from bringing more money to reduce the running costs and pay wages, I wonder if a title sponsor would actually allow for more development and therefore a faster car? Or would they simply operate at the same performance level, but with reduced costs for M-Sport?Quote:

It's a fair point - but they obviously 'cut their cloth' accordingly; they are a well run team and make the most of everything they have. A larger budget is always going to help, especially in development, etc however, I do wonder whether a larger budget can sometimes get wasted on non essentials.Quote:

Everyone can use more money. Toyota & Hyundai have plenty but still have major sponsors on their cars...Quote:

Yes, I get that more money is helpful, but I'm wondering if it would help with development and make for a faster car or that it would just help with the other costs etc..Quote:

Always liked the Castrol green combined with blue and white (much like their 2012 livery)
So the coolest livery in 2020 is a no-contest. No matter if the other two are yet to reveal theirs.
Beautiful!

I knew they wouldn’t let me down.
Beautiful as always. Reminds me of 2017 Ott’s livery but with more Finnish white on it.
Where are all those Qatars and Abu Dhabis sponsors? :-)
Looks fantastic.....really good.
Greensmith one should be different.
Ford have done a lot of work on the engine.Quote:

Am I reading to much into it or have they gained an ‘FMC’ on their number plates comparing with last year?
Ogier's car had that when launched a couple of years ago.
Powered by what? :D
Ahaha good spot!Quote:

Wasn’t that WRT 1? If so, they loaned that from a local haulier that they have an association with (I may well be wrong though).Quote:

They had V1 FMC, S1 FMC and X1 FMC at 2018 and 2019. WRT1 and WRT2 were at 2017.Quote:
