Loeb and Fourmaux wont be around if Tanak and Solberg bring Monster money as two energy drink brands on cars wont wash either way. Wont bother Greensmith as his papa's money will cover him. Is Gus up to being a point scoring number 2 yet for the manufacturers as surely they cant put Oliver in the 2nd R1 car for a whole season?

Maybe thats the reason of two teams, one RedBull and one Monster team, everyone is happy, specially malcom?

Not sure Malcolm would be so happy if the Monster team has Tanak as it would surely beat his M-Sport team. Good for the business-side maybe, but not for his ego...

Sorry, but all this story start to look either as a best kept secret or total BS - it is impossible to make a competitive, top level team with 2 months left till the first rally of 2023. Seems that everybody is tired of all these rumors and there is no real story traction or excitement here around anymore. You all remember very well what did it take to Petter to run his own car and team in WRC after Subaru left. It was a David - Goliath fight without any success.

Maybe the business is more important than his ego these days?

its not a different team, thats not possible in 2 months time and this kind of cars, it has to be a "M-sport Monster WRT" and a "M-sport Redbull WRT".
Still a M-sport Ford can win some rallies.

I think for Mr Wilson is more important thing, that his car from his garage is successful, not precisely the title of the team name.

Logically, for Tänak it does not make sense to mess with private team if he can be part of "factory" team. For Solberg it's maybe a bit different story.

Good thing is - something is cooking there and at the moment we can hope to see Tänak and Solberg next year.

Based on rumors - it would be interesting to see, if and how Wilson, Tänak, P. Solberg and Märtin can work on the same thing and with the same goal together.

This is what some of us has been hoping for, private teams alongside the factoryteams, in the same equipment.

As written below, for Ford/MSport it is more important with podiums, than who drives/reads!

I see a joint venture close to each other, if it happens. Logistics can be solved and Malcolm runs both, with Petter running the marketplace of Monstercars.

If M-sport can run 6-7 Rally1 cars, its good, both for us fans, and for theire business.
More money to develop the cars too, and more interest to do so.

Don't want to spoil the party, but this whole story came from the Solberg's trip to Monster and Oliver tweeting "exciting things coming soon".

That "exciting thing" is a podcast - the Monster UNLEASHED podcast. Sure, it doesn't mean the whole story has no substance at all, but I think somebody has over egged the pudding...
