M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

I'm quite surpised by Munster in the last two events. Despite his lack of experience he showed some pace and did not make any stupid mistakses.

Serderidis evoked in an interview a few days ago that he is looking some help for a part-time Rally1 program for Munster … with M-Sport or Hyundai.

Well, don’t believe in Hyundai all the more Abiteboul recently said they will focus on 3 cars apparently.
But he could be in the mix in M-Sport (even if I don’t really believe in his potential)… maybe sharing a 2nd car with someone else like Suninen/Fourmaux in 2021.

M-Sport will definitely be Fourmax/Loubet mainly. Change my mind

I think we will see Fourmaux under pressure in Japan, he really need to avoid stupid mistakes to send the message "I'm worth a Rally1 seat for the next season". He need to deliver there (reaching to finish without his own mistakes).

Nice one Ford !

If Lappi is getting relegated to a part time season with Hyundai (I hope not for his sake), could Msport tempt him? Ofcourse he had a horrible time at msport a few years ago, but I dont see a better option for msport if they want to challenge for podiums + show pace.

Otherwise I think we will just get the two french drivers, and whoever pays (Munster on a few rallies). Hope to see Loeb do an event or two.

Mikkelsen has reiterated on the recent WRC podcast that he wont pay to drive and has no budget anyway. Any possible Rally1 drive for him at M-Sport is purely up to Malcolm Wilson.

Then enjoy driving Skoda rally2
I would think that during 2022-23 seasons, he should have driven the big car at least once.. to show what he is capable of.
if Huttunen could get a budget for one rally(car had problems tho).. then Mikkelsen would also be able to get it.
It is just the attitude(I think).
Maybe he just waits for Toyota or Hyundai to offer him 5mil/year contract

Mikkelsen dont wan't to pay. He is at a really good place at Škoda motorsport, a relationship lasting from 2011.
He is of course interested to drive Rally1, but not paying for it. But he needs to have a car that actually turn in in the corners, not to use the handbrake in 6th corners...

Quite interesting that in an intervju in a Norwegian rally-podcast the swedish rallyexpert and wrc-commentator Jonas Kruse don't understand why Mikkelsen don't get a chance to drive one of them, if a team needs a fast and realible second driver like Sordo, he should be first choice.
Hyundai was close last year, but what on earth happend there?
