And a picture of Tänak? Coincidence?? i think not

[focus206]

Shame for Breen, but he had his chance and failed it big time. Now a place opens up at M-Sport... I say Tanak at Toyota and Evans at M-Sport, especially now with all these Tanak + M-Sport pictures. But hopefully they're "real", would be great for the championship.

Interesting!
Neuville-Lappi-Sordo/Breen
Kalle-Evans-Katsuta/Ogier
Tanak-Gus-Loubet/Fourmaux/Loeb
?

Poor Mikkelsen...
One could hope RedBull would pay for Tanak AND Mikkelsen for Msport but I doubt

Red Bull wont be paying anything for Tänak, since they dont have no good relations

Is this real? Haven't heard this before.

I think it was something when Tänak Was "Kraavi Ott" and they dropped the sponsorship, and later when he started doing good they wanted to get on that ship again, and Tänak sayd no

Breen leaving MSport just increases silly season uncertainties.

1.
a) Might point to Tanak (or Evans) to Msport which would be great for championship
or
b) Might point to "budget level" Msport with Loubet, Greensmith and few Loeb starts


In either case Hyundai is now collecting drivers kicked out by MSport (Suninen got kicked mid 2021, Breen now).

Dropped sponsorship? Red Bull has never been Ott's sponsor.

My bad, i think i rememberd it wrong, it must have been that way that when Ott needed their sponsorship when he wasnt a title contenter yet, they sayd no, and when they later offered it to him, then he sayd no

I don't see any reason why M-Sport would kick Breen if they don't have any replacement. It wouldn't make any sense and he isn't THAT expensive.
