M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

If the money can be found, then it has to be Sesks after his heroics this year and experience with the Rally1 Puma.

Otherwise the Irish Rally Academy could put a big investment into one of their guys, probably McErlean.

what bout those talks about a F1 driver testing msport cars in secret? wasnt that a rumor for a few hours during this year? bottas even said it wasnt him somewhere...

Somehow, I don't think Checo Perez qualifies as "another promising junior crew" - even if it was him in the test!

McErlean is officialy announced as second driver at M-Sport for 2025

Is this the weakest lineup ever they have had?

Oh boy gonna feel them for next year

Well, must admit I did not expect McErlean to get full season, but reading bits and pieces on Irelands Academy ambitions and funding, one could expect this to happen. History shows that getting full season with M-Sport without any experience is rather risky business - you must perform, not-crash and commit to the driver financially for several years - Camilli, Greensmith, Sunninen etc. The jump from R2 to R1 is too big in everything.

If Sesks still gets some drive, it will be less pressure for him to perform at his max, not just roll till finish at 6th place.

Don't forget they still have Serderidis as back up plan

People: we need new blood on rallies, mainly in Rally1.
People too: oh no, not that new...

Super chance for him, but full season is quite a surprise..
