    From the impression I’ve got regarding the Ford involvement over the last few years, it doesn’t add up.
    Well it’s a lot more than nothing but clearly not close to the same level of the other teams if they can’t even afford to pay drivers.

    I know, but meant they need a guy who's as good as bluuford It was not only once that Ogier blamed the 2018 weather guy for bad tyre choices.

    Ogier always finds someone else to blame when things don't go his way though.

    Quite many roadcar parts (famous Fiesta R5 power steering froma Ford Galaxy for instance), hence the much cheaper price of a new car.

    The funny thing is that the parts which must come from stock market can come from anywhere. At some points I think that nearly all cars had Garrett turbocharger from BMW M5.
