[WRC] News & Rumours 2018

Is it? Prodrive, M-Sport, TMR and anyone else who is effectively a motorsport agency for a manufacturer are in the game to make profit.

But taking that amount of a cut from the budget without winning any championships etc sounds pretty insane to me. Use the money to win and then make the profit.

[Tarmop]

Toyota`s pure profit was 5.88 BILLION dollars during the last quarter so probably they see no problem in TMR`s profit also...

Sounds to me like he's looking elsewhere away from WRC for his future.

[Simmi]

Very interesting. Not his first circuit racing foray, but at this stage in his career let's see how he gets on and whether his head gets turned. Tough series to be dropped into the middle of though...

If he looses title I don't think he'll leave.

If he wins it's more likely than last year as he has shown real speed again so he would retire on a high.

I'm surprised to see him on a Mercedes, i guess he has no links anymore with VW at all (Audi in dtm)?

Personal links doesn´t matter, M-Sport says what and where he can drive...
