Ott Tänak signs for M-Sport:
M-Sport Ford confirms first driver for 2023
At last the return of Ott Tanak to the M-Sport team is revealed.
Tänak will drive all 13 rallies on the 2023 calendar and will be partnered, as usual, by co-driver Martin Järveoja. However, his team-mates for the season are still yet to be confirmed.
"M-Sport is the place that raised me as a driver and the place that taught me all the hard lessons and experience to become a top level player in the World Rally Championship," said Tänak. "Since becoming a world champion I have not been able to defend the title, and I will not be able to make peace with myself until I do!
"I have had many discussions with Malcolm and we definitely share the same ambition for the upcoming season. It is going to be a big challenge for us, but I know the people at Dovenby Hall, I know what they are capable of and with their passion to give everything they have, we can challenge for the championship."
It will be a new challenge to position M-Sport as a contender for the title.
