    One poor rally mostly due to an unfortunate mistake by Breen and some car troubles.

    Let''s see how it goes for a few months before writing them off. The other drivers mentioned are not guaranteed rally winners either.

    Better drivers than Greensmith and Fourmaux though. But we know why Msport have gone for those two so it's a moot point

    It's always a balancing act for a private team trying to stay financially-stable, but competitive, in WRC.

    M-SPORT have gone for Breen as their 'best available driver' to pay for and only time will tell if he's the right choice. As well as finance, the other two bring some good potential.

    I dont believe anyone could do a better job than Mr Wilson in keeping a non-factory team in WRC or know better who to choose for the best balance.

    Car has potential on both surfaces, so they need new blood!

    Maybe, but its wery unusal to swap teams mid-season, M-sport need a driver asap.
    Mikkelsen has in his contract with Skoda that he can jump ship if he got an offer from a WRC1 team.

    Would you guarantee rally wins by Mikkelsen if M-Sport signed him ?

    No, thought not.

    Easy better than todays lineup.
    He is a proven winner, thats not anything you can say about those others, exept Loeb.

    Who would you prefer? Meeke? Or another paydriver?

    I dont see any great performances in WRC cars by him since VW 2016.

    Breen did very well in the i20 WRC in 2021 and I accept he was the best available that were not signed up the the other top factory teams. I dont see anyone else that will guarantee better results.
