2018 Teams

[AnttiL]

Interview with Østberg, going private in the same matter not an option but hoping to secure a full season. One off events in rallycross possible but does not want to change sport, that's the gist of it.

He also says he might do some ERC events next year, and one option would be to sacrifice full WRC season for good results in single rallies, although it would not be optimal. He says being a privateer does not work with the new cars, since they need so much support from the factory.

I had the impression Mads wanted to run his own team because of the ‘problems’ he had whilst in the works team, so interesting he now wants to go back on that.

It's been quite clear his car has had problems that the factory cars never had.

When are the FIA making a decision on four car teams? Fourth MSport car would be a good role for him.

If they went to four car teams to 2018, would it be too late to announce it now?
