Which privateers with WRC cars?

Tidemand, Bertelli, Tuohino, Gronholm and soon Greensmith this year. Also notice the "bring more"

Heard Julian say Kris eying the championship this year. While it's a team sport, it's also an individual championship. Early days in season, I'm sure when it comes to the point Kris has to start helping Ott in the power stage, he will.

Well I pointed this apparent disagreement already in December when Meeke was signed and in the press release said that his main goal is to help Toyota win manu championship yet in an interview just a few days later he said something else. Now he talks about driver championship...

How "soon" you should start prioritizing drivers for points is a good question.

M-Sport did it already on 2nd rally last year and it did matter in the end. (2-3 more points to Neuville and he wouldn't need to push to try to finish ahead of Ogier in Australia). But some of M-Sport prioritizing looked slightly retarded and pointless (dropping Evans and Suninen two times in Finland so that Ogier drives 5th instead of 4th on the road for example). As a result Neuville was very vocal about this before start of this season and Hyundai also started prioritizing very early (Mikkelsen didn't push on PS in Sweden where he took points off Neuville the year before and was much faster on the first run this year)).

Toyota is clearly not prioritizing and it already cost them 2 points for Tanak, though only one of them (Mexico) made a difference relative to Ogier. I am not saying they should or should not, just stating what is happening.

Question for the technical geeks here in the forums.

If Neuville had a service with no "set-up" change in the car, yet today compared to yesterday he's a bit off and the car is a tad wild, would new parts or replaced parts but keeping the same set-up effect his car? Could they not tune new parts to the way they were the day before?

yes they can change parts with same setup as previous sets.

I know Evans has new brakes today... Where Richard (Team Principle) stated on TV, that they've put in without Wilson "knowing" does that mean M-Sport, don't give new parts all the time during service?

all racings parts have a ''safe life'' of use.
Changing earlier parts,you dismiss this very small percentage that something can go wrong.even inside this safe period of use.

Quite big moment from Suninen yes, that could have ended very badly for him, haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere.

None of them starts regularly. Hardly very relevant for the mousse or no mousse decision. Also as somebody already pointed out mousse is not that expensive when compared to overall and other particular expenses.
