    Oliver Solberg for M-Sport Ford will be a very interesting story.

    His father, Petter, left the same team 22 years ago under a cloud, and headed for Subaru, leaving a very unhappy Malcolm Wilson ruing giving him his big break. For many who followed the sport then, the headline 'Solberg at M-Sport' wasn't one they thought they would ever see again.

    The moral here must be "never burn your bridges".

    Solberg drove for Ford/MSport as factory driver in 2012.

    Hard to remember that "hell freezing over" moment was ten years ago.

    I claim that Oliver wasn´t THE solution for winning the title.

    M-Sport is a good option to Solberg, but it is Solberg a good option to M-Sport?

    Oliver Solberg

    Is it good for Oliver's career to do another partial Rally1 season with lots of pressure (need to show skills on these few expensive drives) and to drive the Fiesta Rally2 which is not competitive in WRC2?
