Tomi Tuominen also confirmed the story as total BS as he was doing a live tv show for CMore while Tänak was chatting with the M-Sport mechanics in the background.

So the coolest livery in 2020 is a no-contest. No matter if the other two are yet to reveal theirs.

Lappi has already driven the Fiesta in December and says it felt more rational and more logical (than Citroen).

Most likely in a day or two. Lappi was contractually tied to Citroen till Dec 31 and it's been speculated that it may have delayed the announcement. I'd also put all my money on combination of Lappi,...

Minus JML.

Team Finlandia!

It seems to be lost in the discussion that M-Sport is a private company, not a marketing arm of a giant car manufacturer. They're in it to make profit and in that sense it should be praised that...

Well that we can argue whether he's a "pay driver" by definition or not. Ofcourse the door to M-Sport was originally opened by Jouhki's € and connections, but for the past two seasons he has not been...

No need to use the $ on Suninen and Lappi. Neither one will pay for their drives, that I think is quite certain (assuming they're both driving for M-Sport in 2020).

It's the money and where you take it.

And that's so much more easier to do, when the support is going to a private company.

Luckily, in this case, M-Sport is an independent entity. Had the WRC program been run by a division of Ford Motor Company, we'd have three manufacturers in 2020.

Sign him - which I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it had already been done. Latvala to M-Sport also sounds like a safe bet. I'm sure Jouhki can deliver him that seat.

Yes, in a sentence which first part read "we’re not funding anybody this year apart from Elfyn and Teemu".

And why in the world would they feel the need to lie about such thing?

Well he did his job, whatever the instructions were.

Sweden aside, Breen's 2018 was terrible. Evans didn't do much better himself, but atleast he showed some pace and consistency on the last few rallies.

I wouldn't count on that...

Geez, maybe I should call it a day.

Wasn't Suninen driving there as well?

One for Suninen and... :confused:

Correct. That was the first form of confirmation, sort of.

With Suninen's resume together with the backing of Timo Jouhki, did someone seriously thought Malcolm meant anything else than WRC, when he said they (M-Sport) have Teemu under contract for next year?

Absolutely! The more tasteless the better.
