2023 WRC News & Rumours

[Managarium]

That to me sounds like M-Sport is still a real possibility if enough commercial backing can be found. I had nearly wrote it off going by some of the comments.

I'm getting more and more worried for Craig, hopefully he keeps/finds a seat. Realistically if M-Sport keep him he will probably get a full season but that's not the case at Hyundai if he jumps ship.

Wait a minute.
Craig signed a two year dela with M-Sport. 2022/23.
Is there any loop in his contract that they can get rid of him?

He was supposed to fight for podiums on every event and not crashing on half of the events..
+ every contract can be ended

Latvala on Tanak to Toyota rumours:

“Thinking about the future of the sport it would kill it if you had three world champions in one team,” he added.

“I think for everybody it would be best if he drive for M-Sport because then there would be top drivers in every team, so the championship would be exciting as the cars are so close to each other.”

Well, I think that he fought for podium finish on every event, that was goal. Just he over achieved himself by fighting too much and he crashed

That’s the aim of Toyoda…to have the Dream Team driving his cars

Position before crash: 7th in Sweden, 5th in Estonia, Finland and Ypres; 2nd in NZ. So basically NZ was the only rally where he crashed out fighting for a podium. In Safari he was also out of any podium fights when the car broke and same story in Portugal when the puncture happened (also a small off there)

But if there's no struggle, there's no achievement.

The Le Mans/WEC program would suggest he doesn't share that view.
