https://revistascratch.com/wrc/notic...medium=twitter rumors that will be renting car for m-sport with monster sponsorship.

Problem with many sites is that they just repost what they read here or on Twitter as rumors with no own sources or checking. (but I have to idea how reliable this one is).

I can’t see the logic there, why would Ott pay for rent when he could drive without paying for the main team

Maybe there is no main team? !

Maybe M-sport doesn't pay, but Monster does. So he will get paid with Sohlberg/Monster team. And also get money through Red Grey when they are being paid for running the show.

Why would Tanak leave Hyundai for Msport? That would almost be a worse decision than leaving Toyota for Hyundai.

Hyundai have ramped up development, have won 5 rallies this year and Msports reliability is really bad (worse than Hyundai's?)

Happiness. He's a World Champ yet was treated like a nobody for the past 12 months, and had no influence in the team or the development direction. I have a huge amount of respect for someone who can put their happiness and enjoyment first and foremost.

not much time to wait for m-sport announce they driver line up i will not surprise if m-sport somehow found a deal with loeb witch looks very unreal at this moment but we live in crazy world

[Sal yet again]

Loeb and Fourmaux wont be around if Tanak and Solberg bring Monster money as two energy drink brands on cars wont wash either way. Wont bother Greensmith as his papa's money will cover him. Is Gus up to being a point scoring number 2 yet for the manufacturers as surely they cant put Oliver in the 2nd R1 car for a whole season?

so happiness is living the same situation for the "rising star" solberg?
I'd like the general idea, but i think it wouldn't be ideal for tanak again (unless for the red-grey business).
i know there's huge difference between ott and oliver, but we know what kind of dad&manager petter is about his son. they're friend with ott, ok, but oliver would be fisrt think always. having him as as team boss wouldn't make me relax if i were in tanak shoes...
still would be great for the championship!
