Malcolm Wilson, managing director at M-Sport, gave his views on the season just ended. “First of all I’d like to thank Ford for the trust and confidence. I also would like to thank Stobart for their commitment to run Jari-Matti this year. He has gained confidence by the day and has developed into the most promising driver in the WRC this season. His performances on the second half of the season put him in pole position for the drive.

Knowing that he will now be doing a large part of the testing, gives me confidence that his performance will only improve.” “Marcus and Mikko have worked wonderfully together and I hope that Mikko will pass on to Jari-Matti the experience he has learned. If I look back, I’m proud to say that they both came to M-Sport for evaluation five years ago and now they are going to be partnered for the 2008 season,” he added.
