M-Sport will run 2 full cars next year. One is already reserved for Suninen. The other is expected to be one of 8 guys who are without seat right now. Greensmith can bring budget, similar story with Breen & Mikkelsen (they don't have a future at Hyundai anymore). Leaving Citroen surprised Lappi and Ostberg. Lappi could be there because Citroen will pay for his driving for 2020. Paddon could get some drives in third car, they will be in contact with him. Greensmith is mentiomed for third car also and other drivers, so nothing is decided yet.
Latvala and Meeke doesn't have a chance for that team. They want youngsters and bring them to the top.
Nothing new but I think that second car will go to Greensmith or most likely to Lappi. Third will be shared for whoever pays. Paddon probably in NZ Rally with them.

It's been clear for a while that Latvala is doing 2-5 events for Toyota, Østberg has also been in talks with them trying to do a few events.
And according to Mikkelsen Hyundai is the only option in a satellite teamLast edited by SubaruNorway; 1st December 2019 at 19:40.

This article suggests Greensmith or other pay drivers won't take the second M-Sport seat, but could occupy the third car. They're going for a second young driver to support towards a world title. The article throws a guess that this could be beneficial for Lappi, especially with his Citroen salary.

Better to drive than sit and not be seen. Every year they are looking for current drivers and maybe one or two from lower category. Those who lost their drives at the end are soon forgotten.

[QUOTE=wrc2017;1236986]Serious question.. Would you work for your current employer for nothing, if you got a bonus from your previous employer?[/QUOTE
In a normal life I wouldn’t would work free unless there were some very odd circumstances attached to it. But as a sportsman/woman you have a limited career, so sometimes you might have to keep yourself in the game, with a view to future employment. If it was me I would make sure that the conditions were very clear that if I met agreed performance targets during the unpaid year, that I would be retained for the following year, and paid at an agreed upon level. Unfortunately for Lappi MSport aren’t short of options so his bargaining position isn’t the strongest to make many demands.
Probably his biggest asset is his future earning potential, which we know Wilson uses as a way to secure drives.
