M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Another statement not to trust for some...

M-Sport is also interested in securing the services of 2019 world champion Ott Tanak, following the Estonian’s decision to leave Hyundai.

“It is clear that Ott is an option with him having left Hyundai, but it is an option that is still very difficult for us financially,” Millener told Autosport.

“World champions come with price tags. We will do all we can to try and find a way to work with him but that is tricky.”

The most interesting thing about that article is that not even Loeb's few drives seem secured for next year.

In addition to Fourmaux missing from these articles, Solberg's name is not brought up. Could it be that Solbergs are looking more at the rental Yaris?

Maybe Fourmaux made himself too expensive due to the crashes. Miller also mentioned the team effort, surely fixing and rebuilding all those cars for Breen and Fourmaux has not been great. Also looking at how many issues the Pumas driven by people that payed had, including power steering and fogging up then if you can afford it the Toyota would be first choice I think.

FFSA has a lot of money, so both Loubet and Fourmaux might be there. It seems that Greensmith will be the leading driver at M-Sport. It´s so weird that Ford is always helping and developing the new rally cars for M-Sport, but their support will end, when needed some money to get a proper driver. No sense at all!

Solberg has Monster support and Petter might think that the best way to follow Kalle´s career is to get the same car for Oliver.

If FB translated correctly then in Estonian big rally group someone wrote that Tanak was seen at Tallin airport and flying to Frankfurd with helmet bag.

Frankfurt and Copenhagen are the most efficient airports to fly via, from Tallinn to Manchester...

It did translate correctly, seems kinda bull tho, Why would Tänak fly alone to test and why would he fly with a bag that says " test 2022 "

I think testing is one of the only places where Tänak would fly alone, especially with a helmet bag. But that guy, who wrote it, should have taken some paparazzi pictures. As they say, pics or didn't happen.

He has separate race and test helmets?

He has separate race and test helmets?

My point was that why would he carry and walk around with that helmet bag and not hide it? i mean every estonian eyes are on him, i doubt he is interested in any extra attention knowing what kind of person heis
