Equal times !!

Ott on full send. Massive respect to his performance

But it is very much their own making.

They picked Breen as only driver that gets paid and they filled other cars with paydrivers. Lots of voices around saying it was risky, including Breen himself.

It is this year they need to show car potential to get more money from either Ford, sponsors or more paydrivers and to potentially attract top driver(s).

If they won't it will get harder in the future.

Yes, I agree. They knew what would likely happen - so it's hard to continue to feel sorry for them, as it's a recurring problem. Unless something changes, Ford isn't going to put more money in.

Can we park this as its pretty simple -
Ford wouldnt fund a top driver and they were all under (expensive) contract anyway. The choice was Breen based on his performances and results in 2021. Maybe Mikkelsen or Ostberg may have done better but it was a gamble whoever's they chose.

that's aimed again to tell that another certain driver is not in rally1?

Because, really...what different choice they had? we need to talk through this another time?

Current MSport lineup is not working, that's a fact. Breen is alone with experience and is not taking the pressure well. The other drivers that never won anything (Fourmaux has won one rally with good competition ever) didn't improve speed or reliability.

Loubet is about the only one that delivered much better than expected, but he is paying as well.

There for sure are/were more choices than Fourmaux and Greensmith (more than one specific driver). Huttunen is driving here, no idea who pays for that. Even Loeb seemingly had to get Redbull to pay for his drives.

A year ago Malcolm said they had money to hire a top driver. I really doubt he meant Breen.

So what happened with the money? (unless he was lying). They didn't use it on drivers and now they don't have money for testing before rally.

that was exactly the point...

I fancy Ott... Kalle may be more sensible and think of the Ch'ship.

After previous stage Rovanperä said he was taking that one a bit safe. He's been faster than other Toyotas and Neuville is far away so he can think about the WDC a bit.

I don't think anyone can match Tanak's risk level for the whole rally
