The important thing for M-Sport's future is selling rally cars and servicing/parts.
The Mk2 Fiesta R5 is now showing speed and results so that will probably where their focus will be in 2021.
They cant sell WRC cars and competing with Toyota & Hyundai for championships is impossible as the business doesnt have the money to pay for top driver's.
I can see them just having Greensmith in WRC, with Fourmaux and maybe another payer like Yates again in WRC2.

Can it be that we see different drivers for M-Sport in 2021 and maybe no one gets the full season?

Would Paddon have a budget to do some rounds with M-Sport ?, has recent experience of developing Electric Rally Cars ?.
