To clarify this video we had been trapped inside the car for over 3 minutes whilst safety marshals filmed & did not assist either myself & Jonas in exiting the car.
Never did I think i’d be saying goodbye to you my friend.
Thank you for every kind word, thank you for every piece of advice, & thank you for being my friend.
I’ll miss you Craig.
The impact this man has left on the motorsport world will resonate for generations to come.
A visionary & a pioneer of all things Hooning, there really was only one Ken Block.
My deepest sympathies to the Block family.
Gus, you entered the sport with us 8 years ago, from your first events in an R1 to a Puma Rally1 against the best in the world. It’s a sad day, as today, Gus and M-Sport part ways. This isn’t the end or a goodbye. It’s a sincere and heartfelt thanks. All the best for the future.
5th position @ Rallye Monte Carlo
My maiden stage win & 1, 3, 5 for M-Sport Ford. We had the potential for a podium this weekend & that gives me great encouragement for the year.
Thank you, Chris.
All good things come to an end & although I truly wish this wasn’t the end, I have to say thank you.
I want to wish you all the best in retirement & Congratulate you on an incredible career.
I feel extremely proud of what we have achieved in Mexico in such a short turnaround since we made the decision to move to WRC2.
It’s all thanks to the fantastic people I am surrounded by.
I now remember what it feels like to win & god damn it feels good (even with a hangover)
It hasn’t been 24 hours, & yet what I’m most proud of is the fact the Greensmith & Solberg families have always embraced as friends, not foes.
Rallying is a beautiful sport. A combined effort, all working towards the same goal… albeit with a few hiccups & laughs on the way
In all honesty, I have never been so enamoured by a country & its people as much as I have here. Aligato, Japan, you’re an amazing country with wonderful people.

with everything I had.
Safe to say, I need a sleep
Power stage points were the silver lining to a torrid weekend...
But as the saying goes, if you fall off the horse, the best thing to do is get right back on it
P5️⃣ overall after the first two stages tonight. The car felt brilliant, looking forward to seeing what we can do tomorrow!

A good comeback drive & Power Stage win caps off one of the most emotionally difficult weeks of my life. I tried to drive how Craig would have wanted me too; with a smile on my face. Lucky boys & girls we all are to do this.
Anyway…

Monte Carlo PET 🇲🇨⚡️
The season hasn’t started yet, & the team have already done heroic work getting the car ready for my test. Monte Carlo roads & this car should be some occasion.
I learnt the true meaning of the Safari rally; extreme terrain, wild animals & some rather unexpected illness… We persevered all & delivered in my opinion our most dominant performance yet
The Skoda Fabia RS with
@MotorsportSkoda
&
@toksportwrt
keeps getting better
I was a snow plough for the morning, & a rally driver for the afternoon.
The deficit was just slightly too much to catch in the final few stages but I enjoyed every second of the rally & the ever welcoming Portuguese fans, obrigado.
We put ourselves in a good position to fight for the podium & that was our main aim, unfortunately it just hasn’t been the weekend we wanted. We will take the positives & look forward to Sardinia
