[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

[Mariusz]

Let's get some facts about Kubica straight.

Apart from Lotos don't think he has many funds, he is just very rich, this is form his F1 days, I suspect him raising the full throttle from insurance after his crash.
Yes you get screwed if you pay cash to M-Sport and the team decides to witch car the money goes to...If you pay the top price for parts you suddenly are a very important customer and gets proirity treatment. And with own team you are independent and able to choose own engineer and tyre supplier, both are crucial for a good season apart from finishing the rally.

According to his website he has four sponsors; Lotos, Grupa Azoty (a huge chemical consortium), Pirelli and OMP. Yes, Pirelli is his sponsor, not just his tyre supplier. And I think this was one of the main reasons why the talks with PH-Sport failed. Kubica wanted to drive on Pirellis this year and as you could have seen the tyres allowed him to set great times on Monte. So you were wrong with the first part, but exactly right with the last part.

How can someeone be sure that a part is brand new and not just excellent rapaired-rebuilt?we are talking about msport guys.i am still a bit biased towards msport after antony's revelations in his blog.

There is no reason why M-Sport wouldn't want Kubica to succeed. The better results Fords make the more cars they sell and rent.

spending your time in something doesn't make you an expert (especially when you have to pay most of the time)...on the contrary spending that much time on something without any notable achievements shows lack of skills.

I think you should check with google about his achievements in his last 20 years in motorsport.
