Same 15" weel size than focus/c4 uses, so should look bigger than before

Hmmm, you say undoubted speed but he is barely quicker than Wilson these days. I agree he used to be better but I don't think he ever has been or ever will be as quick as the top guys. Maybe it's time for Henning to change brands to see if he can get on better with a different car and team or if he is just passed his best.

haha they read my Bacon and Eggs on the Fiesta on World Rally Radio!

Interesting statistics!

In 2010/2011 Ford drivers at least 9 times has broken alternator belt:

Germany 2010 - Block (Ford Focus WRC)
Jordan 2010 - Ketomaa (Ford Fiesta S2000)
Mexico 2010 - Kosciuszko (Ford Fiesta S2000)
Portugal 2010 - H.Solberg (Ford Focus WRC)
Spain 2010 - Villagra (Ford Focus WRC)
GB 2010 - Dong (Ford Focus WRC)
Mexico 2011 - H.Solberg (Ford Fiesta WRC)
Sardinia 2011 - Sousa (Ford Fiesta S2000)
Acropolis 2011 - Novikov (Ford Fiesta WRC)

And only once (2011 Mexico, H.Solberg) crew made a repair. All other crew`s retired.

At the same period Citroen drivers never have this problem...

I understand your point, but on occasion he can win stages, or get top 3 times. Wilson came 4th on one stage in Greece and people fell over themselves to congratulate him haha! I think Henning is as quick as anyone on snow, and if everything went right for him on one gravel round I think he could challenge for a win. I agree maybe he should change car though - maybe an outside shot of becoming a VW driver? He's a brilliant technician and engineer and would add great experience as well as a little bit of pace in its first few rallies?

Yeah, M-Sport has so many problems. Shame on you Ford guys if you don't command for what you want and need. :(
