M-Sport likely to target young drivers for WRC 2024 after Tanak exit
The British squad is facing the need to reconsider its driver options for the upcoming season after Tanak, its star signing, has chosen to leave the team following only one season. Tanak’s decision comes shortly after his impressive win at Rally Chile, his second victory of the season, despite facing challenges and reliability issues throughout the campaign. M-Sport team principal, Richard Millener, expressed his disappointment at Tanak’s departure and revealed that the team was unable to offer him a deal that would convince him to stay. Given the uncertainty surrounding M-Sport’s future at the highest level of the WRC for the next season, Millener mentioned that the team is likely to focus on recruiting young talent as Tanak’s replacement. He also emphasized that it is not a straightforward process of reallocating Tanak’s salary, as sponsorship and partnerships can vary based on results.
