Is this Red Bull and Monster Energy conflict only reason why can't this happen?

Oliver Solberg was brilliant all weekend. That goes without saying.
What was equally pleasant to hear were the words of Kalle Rovanpera whenever he was asked about Oliver's performance. Not once did he attempt to disparage or downplay what was truly great drive. He analysed Solberg's merits with maturity and even offered snippets that few would have. That was class. He scored big in my mind.

Why would Oliver solberg, the man who has just won Rally Estonia, want to drive a sh1tbox of an m-sport car? He's quicker than their Rally 1 drivers in a Rally 2 car.

Agree, makes no sense to go for a Rally1 drive in M-Sport now. Originally Posted by Doon

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 be an issue if they hired a Puma and ran it themselves.

Regarding their cars and results, then this season and 2026 seem to be something, they just have to get over with. As we all know their Rally1 is behind their competitors and the interest for privateers to buy their Rally2 cars is gone already for a long time. I hope the 2027 regulations with the implemented cost cap will suit them and the new Rally1 cars will be competitive and popular with privateers. This way they won't fall behind with development and maybe will be able to hire at least one fast driver.

They are always hiring. I saw various positions by them every single year. I guess some people leave because that world have literally no free time. Especially those who travel with the team.

I hope you're right about M-Sport being ready to build a WRC27 Car. We need somebody other than Toyota to confirm ASAP and let us see this thing is actually going ahead and give hope for a decent future for the WRC.

I'm not going to the "told you so," but one thing is for sure - Solberg is a character and the quality the championship needs at the moment to stay in the picture and keep the audience. Tänak and...
