they thought they would win there with bentley cos they were 2nd overall at the moment but they retired after all. they should concentrate where they are best - in rallying. otherwise they could finish like Richards and Prodrive, doing all around stuff and doing nothing in the end (at least not in serious motorsport; if we exclude WorldRX)

It’s Bentley who pays for it, why should MSport stop?

Were M-Sport not making money on the WEC cars, they would probably have quit by now. Quite a bit of the funds for making the 2017 WRC Fiesta probably came from the profits of selling the Bentley GT3 cars.

They got hired by Bentley to design and build those cars and yes Matthew is the team boss there, he stopped rallying and is handling that part of the business full time.

i saw his TV statement, he didn't know to explain exactly what was wrong with the car while mechanics were doing the stuff. Malcolm stayed behind and he had to be in Finland to help his team to get better result. this won't help them to keep Ogier in the team.

I don't like it either. Who knows how many years the rumors have been around about Hyundai leaving—yet there's still no confirmation, and they keep demanding that the rules go their way.
