M-Sport Ford: Aiming to Improve Performance at Rally Finland After Estonia
After the WRC round in Estonia, M-Sport Ford team principal Richard Millener says the team has taken positive lessons despite modest results and looks to improve at Rally Finland.
Mārtiņš Sesks finished seventh in Rally Estonia after a difficult start. John Armstrong, who suffered a puncture on Saturday morning, ended the rally in ninth place, while Josh Makerlain was forced to retire on Saturday due to a technical issue.
M-Sport Ford team principal Richard Millener stated that the team can take many positive lessons from the event, especially considering it is one of the fastest rallies of the season. He noted that all drivers delivered strong performances, even if the final results were not as high as hoped.
Millener also pointed out that there are less than two weeks until Rally Finland, meaning the crews will be fresh. The team will aim to improve their performance and demonstrate the speed of both the Rally1 and Rally2 cars.
Additionally, Millener praised the Rally Estonia organizers for introducing a shorter format, which retained the same number of stages but reduced the event by one day. He highlighted this as a significant benefit for the team's tight schedule.
