2022 WRC News & Rumours

Personnally, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to give him one rally off (the discussion is not about firing him); it has already been applied for other drivers in a bad streak even if it was more experienced drivers (Duval, Meeke, Latvala) and generally, it worked (at least on the short-term).

The streak since the end of last year is very bad (even if Sweden is not his fault); with Camilli, they try another strategy and, even if there was a little improvement at one moment, it failed in the end.

The sure thing is that they cannot do as if nothing happens.
I suppose that they are also discussing with Red Bull as M-Sport can absolutely not take this decision without Red Bull agreement (financing Fourmaux program + Loeb’s drives and can also be useful in the future for other drivers). In that sense, Mikkelsen could be an option as he still has some links with Red Bull so it could avoid tensions about the Red Bull-MSport «*contract*»
