Likewise, in the DirtFish article he just said that the engine is missing something which is common knowledge, certainly with people following the sport and he said it’s frustrating that they have developments ready but have been financially unable to put them on the car. Again, for anyone following rallying, that MSport aren’t financially flush is hardly news.

You can't homologate whenever and whatever you want. Rules are clear on the matter. Same reason Hyundai is keeping the admittedly rushed 2022 design of the i20 and slowly homologating new parts to fix the car.

You should read between the lines.
The whole article is written in a way that suggest that Puma upgraders/money is the (main) thing that's keeping Fourmaux down from winning.
People see that as a bit of a stretch or over-simplification given than Fourmax has not shown he can fight with the top 5 over more than a few stages before and his record in top class vs teammates with proven skill (Loeb, Breen) is not great either. So maybe there might be some potential for improvement between the wheel and the seat too.
But off course it is not Fourmaux that wrote the article.

He may not be at the elite level of the top 5 drivers yet, but that doesn't mean he cant complain if the car he's using isnt as good as theirs. All drivers, even World Champions, want the best car too.

FIA just released the book How to destroy the championship 101. Why I have a feeling they will choose full EV and then nobody will care. Like they don't see what is going on that brands are turnig...
