I talked with Anders too and confirms that. Btw, one source told me that this Fiesta is like a canon ball. Let's hope be true

Ref grøndal, the step between the ds3 and fiesta is bigger than the step between the impreza and the ds3

With so many variables on the Monte I dont think this is the rally to properly compare the Fiesta R5 Evo with the others...

I also dont see the need for the criticism of MW / M-Sport - they did well to continue in the WRC when Ford pulled out. And now they are in WRC-2 they are producing decent cars and continue to develop them and it all costs money, so how else are they to achieve this with no major sponsor.. they have to sell cars. And the best way to sell a car is to make it a good one.

The Fabia R5, 208 & DS3 are factory cars in all but name, and M-Sport has to compete against them with just its own budget. They deserve praise.

So Mads was coming back to M-Sport anyway...

“[Citroen’s decision] certainly made my decision a lot easier, but at the same time I was also very motivated to make a return to M-Sport,”

Even if Citroen stayed they probably weren't going to retain Mads. It was pretty much public knowledge that his camp were talking to M-Sport.
