Tanak in talks but WRC 2024 future yet to be decided
The 2019 world champion, Ott Tanak, is currently without a contract for next season, despite having signed a one-year deal with M-Sport Ford for the 2023 season after leaving Hyundai with a year left on his contract. Tanak’s return to the Ford squad has been challenging, with only two podium finishes so far this year. He expressed his desire to continue competing in the WRC next year, while M-Sport hopes to secure his services for 2024. However, M-Sport bosses have admitted that it won’t be an easy decision to keep Tanak, especially considering the uncertainty surrounding the team’s future in the championship. Tanak has had discussions with all WRC teams about his future, but the overall focus is on improving the championship’s appeal and addressing the concerns raised by drivers, teams, and fans.
