    I may not discard Mikkelsen instead of Suninen even if I think it’s not likely
    I agree, but I think both Katsuta and Lappi will do full season, so maybe Suninen + Sordo? (if he wants to continue) for the 4th Hyundai.
    M-Sport let's hope they will be there at all.

    The struggle to continue will be real for M-Sport Ford without Tanak.

    Breen in.2022 and Tanak in 2023 definitely gave them hopes of success. But with just Fourmaux and pay drivers the motivation just cant be there.

    And even if they had money to splash, who of any quality could they tempt to join ?

    How it seems to go based on the rumours so far

    Toyota: Rovanperä, Evans, Katsuta, Ogier (part time)
    Hyundai: Neuville, Tänak, Lappi, Suninen and Sordo sharing
    M-sport: Fourmaux, Loubet and whoever else pays

    How I wish it would go:

    Toyota: Rovanperä, Tänak, Katsuta, Ogier (part time)
    Hyundai: Neuville, Lappi, Suninen, Sordo (part time)
    M-sport: Evans, Loubet, Fourmaux
    #8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

    There is no way Abiteboul couldn't get Kalle, Ogier or Tanak for 2024.. okay, Evans is also top5 driver, but.. not the first one to call.
    If Abi says that they have stronger team for next year.. it must be Neuville/Tanak again.
    This time they have a proper team principal(after Adamo) and the car is ready. At the beginning of 2022 the car was crap and all team management was cr4p also.
