M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

What I found interesting that Millener was so cheered up during lunch time interview

But yeah. Horrible season which started off so well. All the effort what has been put into the car for nothing basically

Can’t see the next being better if they can’t get a decent driver

I am sure any real rally fan hopes it's due to Tanak coming.
But surely if that happens it won't be good for your nerves

If M-sport keeps up with this line up, its even worse next year.

Get in Tänak as nr1, Mikkelsen as nr2, Loeb/Loubet as nr3, and some 2.team for the rest.

Redbull can pay.

Can't be worse than driving with Hyundai to be honest

Mikkelsen, Østberg, Greensmith
Østberg with coaching of Greensmith as one task.
Loeb/Solberg in car 4
Solberg development of current/new Rally2 cars as one task.

I doubt you will ever see Ostberg back with MSport...

The security of having a two-year contract doesnt seem to have helped Breen perform this year. And now he says he doesnt know if he'll be driving for them in 2023. Contracts seem to mean nothing nowadays.

I wonder if he knew all along the 2nd year wasn't guaranteed and that piled on the pressure as this year went on...

The second year might be fixed, but with an exit clause on either side. Judging by his performance M Sport might as well be in a position to trigger that exit clause.

I reckon his second year was a given until he failed to perform at all during this season. In January he was hailed as the right man to lead M-Sport into the new era, as a reliable points scorer, potential rally winner, and by some crazy people, a WDC contender. He was in the best possible position going into 2022, but I don't think anybody survives a season like he's had unscathed.

Regardless he's only the second worst of the M-Sport drivers: Fourmaux did even more poorly with lower expectations.

Well, Greensmith also did a bad season; we could have expected more than him considering his 2021 season and he has been made a lot of big mistakes.

Only satisfying driver in M-Sport is Loeb with his win in Monte (+ two reliability-issues rally and his rookie mistake in Sardinia)

For me, if Hyundai wants Breen, they should let him go for free.
But they still need a driver with some experience in all rallies in my opinion: best plan would be Loeb and Mikkelsen sharing one car and then, in a second car, the one having the best funding between Solberg and Loubet + whatever they can in 3rd car (assuming Tanak will not come, else it’s a no-brainer for sure).

But it may more finish with something like Loeb-Solberg-Loubet-Greensmith (probably Loeb sharing his car with either Solberg or Loubet or both if they share 2 cars).
