M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

They forget that it's not a fully-factory team with unlimited £millions to throw at the car...

I suggest any rally fan who is able to forget M-Sport's tale of hardship should head down to their Doctor and get their Alzheimer's diagnosed...

I agree with you.

He sounds like a 5 year old in that interview who denies he stole a candy, although he did

Where does he do this ? I just see him admit (in your face) issues, but stating that others have had issues too.

Indeed... they forget as soon as the there's any kind of issue for M-Sport.

Any news about Ford's engine update? I remember reading somewhere that they were supposed to be installed from portugal onwards

Some interesting info from M-Sport's James McMillan interviewed on a podcast after Rally Portugal:

* Tanak and Loubet have very different driving styles and their two gravel set-ups are actually diverging this season.

* Loubet is very comfortable in the Puma and has been since last year. Tanak's set-up is very different to all of last years Puma drivers (Loeb, Breen, Gus).

* His suspension issue (wooden horse) is being worked on by getting Reiger to develop different dampers.

McMillan also said that the public criticism of the car by Tanak at rallies are no problem and have been much worse in private.

still no, Tänak said in an interview that they had new transmission in Portugal which helped a little, also said they tested many new things during Portugal PET

Ofcourse Loubet is comfortable in the car.. at that pace.
Let him push it to next level and he would say different things + maybe start listening what/why Tanak says about the car.
