And M-Sport's funds will mostly go to Tänak's salary which also does not help to develop the car to be a winning machinery against TGR or HMSG which have either unlimited or bigger resources.
If this move goes through it will definitely lighten up the series so in that regard I'm actually waiting this to happen but remain sceptical about M-Sport chances in the long run unless they secure some miracle deals (with drivers and sponsors). Unlike most other drivers Tänak doesn't have RedBull backing as well which would cover most of his salary so it will be financially difficult for the Cumbrian side
If they can get the funding they will benefit from having Tänak in the team and it might also help Breen’s development as a driver, they have worked together up until this year, sure this is a different position but with Tänak showing the way it will (hopefully) help Breen the same way Ogier helped Tänak back in 2017.
