Hi, Steemers!
Mads Ostberg is privateer from this season again. He drives private Ford Fiesta WRC 2017 under banner of M-Sport (because of FIA regulations). Just to remind you, last season he was part of M-Sport official team but team's boss Malcolm Wilson (also owner of M-Sport) wasn't happy with Ostberg's results.
Last season Ostberg also changed his co-driver. Ex Mikelsen's co-driver Ola Floene became Ostbergs new co-driver.
But relationship inside a car didn't last for a long time. Just last season and first part of this season. When results aren't there, someone has to take a blame. And this time Floene had to be guilty. Not by his will, of course.
Ostberg's family is very rich. His father Morten was also rally driver and now he is a boss of Adapta Motorsport (their family team that runs Mads program this season). After bad results this season, they made decision: to change a co-driver. That's the way Floene became ex. That's nothing new in motorsport at the top level. Professionalism at first.
Ostberg's new co-driver from Rally Finland will be Torstein Eriksen. Gossip says that he will change co-driver's seat with Patrik Barth. Who will give better results will take co-driver's seat permanently.
That's the professionalism in WRC. This could be cruel but what can you do...
