[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[Arwel Davies]

Malcolm is the first team principal to come out and saying that 100% yes he wants Ogier. But since M-sport doesn't have a confirmed driver line up for 2017 at the moment its no real surprise. I think it would be an excellent partnership and would lead to a 5th title for Ogier and could land Ford/M-sport a first manufacturers title in what? 10 years?
It's also looking like Mikkelsen is in serious danger of being without a seat for next year as his options seem to be very limited. Could we see him in a Dmack car? or a second Adapta car with Mads?

I really want Ogier to go to M-Sport and Malcom Wilson to finally win a driver championship cause he deserves it.

I think I can swallow one more French Seb title next year when he's in a Ford.

Would be very cool.

Yes I am also big fan of Ford\M-Sport so I really want this present for Christmas.
Please Malcolm,get Ogier for us.

Certainly Malcolm sounding far more positive publicly than Matton. He's got the cars and the desire. It's just going to come down to whether he has the money. Unless Ogier is willing to perhaps take a one-year deal and keep cashing that VW money.

You never know he might be sensible and say you can have me for 2017 but get Ford on board for 2018 or I will walk at the end of the year. He doesn't NEED the money and if I were him I'd go both where there is a seat still available and quite possibly a very quick car and give Wilson a year's grace to get back to a full factory works effort.

Wilson's biggest advantage is undisputed number 1 in the team for Ogier,which no other team can offer at the moment.

[N.O.T]

no other team can offer at the moment.

Why ?

[macebig]

Because they have their No1s.Hyundai has Paddon and Citroen has Meeke.

[spiderem]

the solution is simple to please everyone (except few grumpy old rally fan from this forum), ogier to drive a C3 in DMack team! (pure fantaisie).
- Malcom get a piece of the cake as i understand he owns DMack (partly?) and can manage ogier
- Matton get ogier to drive his car
- Championship remains very open and interesting (dmack "lower" performance offset ogier's incredible pace)
- DMack gets a huge opportunity to work with the world champion and get good publicity
