Not sure what is going to change for MSport for 2022 that's going to provide the budget to test & develop the car sufficiently and allow for one of more top line drivers to sign for them. Given the worldwide automotive climate I can't see Ford investing heavily, they could have done it before now and wouldn't do it to keep Ogier, so unless a big sponsor is waiting in the wings I don't see how it's going to happen unfortunately.

The 'experts' I was talking about dont include you.
Its those who take no account of the position the team find themselves in and also the drivers they can afford and their own pressures too.
I'm just a fan too so I dont slag any team or driver if I dont know the full situation. But with M-Sport there's just no excuse - its common knowledge. Yet still certain people just dont want to understand and prefer to demean and belittle them.
Those same people are those making nasty and abusive comments because they know they have been shown up for what they are.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 30th January 2021 at 13:22.

the message i took from this ,is that even M sport lucks the budget,or even is at a danger position economic wise,the car can compete for championships.
Some experts here said plenty of times the opposite= its impossible with luck of money vs toyota/hyundai to compete.
I am confused now...

Good to read it was only the money/deal that prevented him from joining MSport in 2021, nothing to do with not liking the team or car.

I think most people on the forum understand the situation, the level of knowledge on this forum is still quite high. In the end it's a financial reality that the team needs pay drivers to fund the season. That's sad and disappointing but it's not MSport's fault in my opinion. Besides this i've seen some very nasty comments on "mainstream" news websites. Those comments are very obtuse and basically assume that MSport chose Greensmith over other drivers mentioned previously. In my opinion the criticism should be directed to WRC itself. Essentially there are only 2 manufacturers interested, we'll see with the new rules...

But why hasn't M-Sport managed to secure a big sponsor over all these years?
Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.
