Following Eric's performance in Finland, I would be very surprised if he's ever used by M-Sport again....
Probably time to look for someone else for Germany and Turkey....

To me problem at MSport spells money. MW never offer free rides. Not in Finland either.
So in the longtherm he will be the looser. Starting already.
So he never got payback in any way from Finland, making Skoda selling even more R5 cars in the future..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"
Tommi Mäkinen, back in the years...

The problem is the new Fiesta R5. It has been off the pace in the hands of several drivers now (incl Suninen). The car itself needs to be sorted (certainly on gravel) - not just trying yet another driver.
Also it hasnt run on a tarmac event yet so may prove much better on that surface. People who tried it at their HQ on tarmac praised it highly.
As for the WRC Team, Evans is a big loss and that has to be taken into account. Also they do have upgrades coming on the car but they may just be taking a bit longer than expected.
Dont panic.

From Suninens after stage interview today (ewrc), I must have missed something or what new aero does M-sport have here?
"The stages were quite rough and it looks like the new aerodynamics is working well in fast stages! Let's see, it's not going to be easy to catch ten seconds but we will do our best. Anyway, fourth position wouldn't be bad."

It was a joke since he was missing front splitter and half the front bumper was hanging down.
