Tanak:
"This year has gone by so fast together with M-Sport Ford WRT.
I'm proud we have managed to win two rallies against such big manufacturers and we were able to be in the championship fight for the first part of the season.
"But this sport is tough and unfortunately we went down a few times too many, nevertheless all the people really tried hard to give us the best chances and I'm very grateful for them."

Toyota won't let him go, rightly so.

I can’t see any reason why a top driver would want to go to Msport voluntarily

“I think he made his decision based on a number of things and obviously it would have taken a lot of time to make sure it is the right decision. But unfortunately, we were not able to make an alternative offer that was able to keep him with us.”

This video is nice proof that WRC is just one big family. Everyone congratulate everyone for their achievement (like team-boss Millener when Tänak finished).
... but yes, de javu from 2019 when Tänak got title with announcement leaving the team, gives a bit bittersweet taste for all. Pragmatically it's all understandable, still feel a bit sorry for M-Sport.

I will be very disappointed if they start 24 with the two french drivers. In my book they have had their chance to grow into the tempo and endurance needed to be a winner.

The issue, as always, is money. All the M-Sport drivers need to bring some support. And the Solbergs (like Mikkelsen) dont believe they should pay to drive. The clash with Monster Energy wouldn't...
