    That's why I said worked mid term. But then, Hollywood spent 7 full seasons without a win.

    A. I am fairly sure that he would have won at least one rally between 2006-2011 behind the wheel of a Ford. And B. Hollywood was an old nickname of Petter Solberg because of his spectacular driving style.

    All the quotes so far have been about extra technical assistance from Ford in 2018 (plus this is what Ogier mainly wanted). No mention at all about Ford being the paymaster for the driver wages...
