from SPIN, The Rally Pod

The end result went begging for Mārtiņš Sesks in Latvia, but it doesn't matter - the statement he has made to the entire World Rally Championship service park is emphatic.The question now: what happens next?M-Sport team principal Richard Millener has already said he'd love to have Sesks back in the car, but how feasible is that? If Sesks can't make an M-Sport reunion work, what other options does he have? Could there potentially be room at Hyundai with its third-driver strategy for 2025 coming under review, or does he need to wait until a new manufacturer signals interest in the WRC and needs a driver it can mould around its project?But Sesks wasn't the only talking point: what about Sébastien Ogier? Could we really <i> see him commit to the thing he always said he wouldn't ever do - doing effectively a full season again and potentially chasing that record-equalling ninth world title?Then there's the road order debate - does a qualifying stage need to be considered again? And has Toyota got to revise its team order strategy, with Takamoto Katsuta stealing points from Elfyn Evans on the powerstage?Join in all the discussion as Alasdair Lindsay, Colin Clark and George Donaldson dissect all the major talking points from Rally Latvia 2024 on SPIN, The Rally Pod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
