we all owe alot to Malcolm, he has done alot to rallying.

I just remembered after Loeb won Monte there was some picture or video of Ott going to congratulate Malcolm. Obviously didn't mean anything then but seems his heart was pulling to MSport

Obviously this is the best news possible with regards to Tanak.

But this sentence made me laugh:

"Tänak told DirtFish: “I wanted to be in a place where I have the full focus on doing everything in the team’s power or in our power to be able to fight for the championship. And that was definitely one reason why I was considering moving to M-Sport – and my target is obviously the drivers’ championship."

This definitely doesn't sound like MSport last 4 years. But hopefully they will try now. (So no such things as dropping pre-event testing).

The one that stood out for me was “And there is also Ford behind who is very interested to still prove that they are capable of doing well in rallying, so I would say together with Ford and M-Sport I see there is a chance to build something great again together.” Does this mean there is bigger support from Ford?

when I saw ''Ott Tanak The Movie'', there was one scene where Malcolm and Rich told Ott that he is in wrong colors. He replied to them, that if he is ever going to trive fot them (M-Sport), that he (Ott) wants a privat jet to fly to rallyes, because Toyota has one for him.

So, does he get a jet or not?

Excellent news for the rally world ... even if I’m not sure it’s the best choice for Tanak himself. But well, on what he has shown last year and knowing Ogier succeeded in winning the title in 2018 in the second year of the regulation, it’s not an impossible dream.
And it gives some hype to the 2023 championship.

Losing Tanak would have reduced the possibilities and Clearly having a big fish in M-Sport team give a 3-way very interesting fight.
Let’s see now what M-Sport will have as line-up along him.
