What a terrible situation, but I guess they are still there.
Hope they can find a way of getting someone better for 2022.

Suninen also changing co-driver, probably for a cheaper alternative.

This is probably the best compromise in a really difficult financial situation.
Greensmith is bringing important money and I believe can improve his speed with more experience.
I'm really glad that Suninen can still have a role and hopefully it can be increased later.
Fourmaux is a fine prospect and it will be interesting to see him adapting to the Rally1 car.

This year was a write-off anyway, better concentrate money on 2022 development.
The only big issue I have with this lineup is who will develop 2022 car? (sure you don't need top-speed drivers for development, but usually experience helps) Neither of these 3 ever drove anything than Fiesta.
Other points:
- much better idea for Fourmaux to drive full WRC2 than learning in WRC at this point
- the "free" car when Suninen does not have funds obviously aims at "highest bidder" from the likes of Mikkelsen or Lappi for a few starts, but those will imo also wait for signs that Fiesta is somehow competitive still this year or for "promises" for 2022

Gus leading the team, eh?
well its better than nothing, at one point i was really worried about m-sport. im really happy that Suninen gets at least some drives, i wish Lappi would have shared the car with Gus.
really interested to see Formaux in the rally1 machine.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

The 2022 cars are called Rally1, the top class is WRC until that
