Agree, but I think it's a bit about timing as well.
When the Rally2 upgrade was introduced in mid 2019 they just spend a lot of money on Ogier and his 2018 title, without getting more from Ford. So maybe little funds and people for Rally2 development.
Then early on from 2020 COVID likely destroyed all finances and development as well as sales. Come to 2021 and Puma has priority.
Anyway indirectly you can say that MSports decline is caused by Skodas (and VWs) success, cause they took the biggest market (R5/Rally2), without "using" that money for WRC (even though Skoda was interested pre-2019). The main positive thing about that might be that they used it to develop quite a few new talents (Lappi, Rovanpera and partly O. Solberg).

why you guys so b.utthurt about Solberg having his chances?
He isn't asking a penny from you, me, us..
Yes, he has crashed this season maybe a bit too much..
but don't forget that he has a lot of experience with many different cars(i20 WRC, VW, Fabia, i20(old&new) R5s, powerful RX cars, ARA Subaru Impreza etc)
He isn't in the team for nothing..Last edited by TypeR; 5th October 2021 at 19:11.

I’m with you guys, let the kid do his thing. I agree he should probably be in a 4th car similar to Katsuta, but he can drive. Sordo/Suninen would be a good 3rd car option next year, but this lad just needs experience, and it might as well be in a top level car.
