Would have preferred any of Paddon/Breen/Camilli tbh.

Paddon definitely a huge NO because he isnt good on tarmac and he hasnt competed on it for a year. It would do him more harm than good.

If Greensmith's family could afford to pay for a full-time WRC drive he'd be having one now. He only has these drives now due to Evans injury.

Wilson regards him highly as a driver having come through every stage of his career there since R1.

And as you always mention money with M-Sport, how would you run a private WRC team and stay in business ?

Isn't it more that to become competitive, you can't just jump in a WRC car from the start?

A brilliant underrated driver in Keith Cronin should be considered for a WRC Drive, he has undeniably raw talent that has sadly not been seen in the WRC, it will be WRC's loss if this guy doesn't get given a chance!

"Mäkinen stands by Meeke":

Tbh the text isn't very reassuring, yes it says they won't drop him mid season. What happens after is another question.

Milener on Greensmith

"Gus made a positive debut with the top-specification Fiesta on gravel, and we were keen to give him the same opportunity on asphalt. We’ve been working with him for a number of years now, and I know he and Elliott will make the most of the experience.

“They impressed everyone at Rallye Monte-Carlo earlier this year and I think we could see some great progress from them on this surface,” he added.
