2022 WRC News & Rumours
im also half way through or even less, he did only total 3 test days with the new Ford R5 back in 2019!!! Said that in his opinion it was wrong to go straight to Rally Estonia that year with that R5. This year he has done 6 days alone with the Hyundai R5.
He was supposed to go to Toyota in 2017 but the VW leaving messed it all up and he went to M-sport. It was all good at M-sport until the COVID, after that it was basically money saving project, you could only test if you had the money to pay for Wilson, otherwise not. He was supposed to start Rally Greece with Ford but Malcolm simply didnt have a car because there wasnt enough workforce to prepare the car.
About the new Hyundai test-base, hopes to help them there and says that the roads or one the best around Jämsä and Tänak chose the roads.
He did a simulator tests for M-sport for Rally1 machine but hasnt seen the real machine.
He wasn’t treated nicely in msport last full season year. They couldn’t test and participate on smaller rallies but the team wanted TOP3 results from him. The interviewer then asks if Loeb could have won with the previous generation car Teemu says that it should be clear to all that he could have not.
It was even that bad that they didn’t even have normal breakfasts and meals from the team.Last edited by EstWRC; 16th February 2022 at 11:22.
