Anna Louise is the Press Officer of the M-Sport World Rally Team. She is the one who knows what’s going on
with anyone in the team, from the drivers to the bosses, to the mechanics and the engineers. In her monthly column she gives you a peek behind the scenes of a world rally team.
Being the press officer of a big team means a Well thanks Anna, we’re looking forward to your
whole lot of work. Especially in the beginning of further contriburions.
the season. Unfortunately this means you don’t
always have time to do what you want. Even Harry van Veenendaal (editor)
when you’re working flat out! It can mean you
just don’t have time to write your column. So this
month no Inside View for Rally-eMag. But don’t
be too disappointed Anna will be back.
Allthough there were mixed feelings, the team
has been quite succcessful. After having lead
Rallye Monte Carlo Bryan Bouffier ended up being the runner-up in a Fiësta RS. Elfyn Evans
also proved to be another promising acquisition
of Malcolm Wilson. Will the Welshman equal his
Belgian predecessor? And last but not least Robert Kubica did a good job too. He was caught by
one of the treacherous patches of ice the Monte
is so famous for, but he too proved his speed.
Mikko Hirvonen was very unlucky to strand with
electrical problems in (almost litteral) sight of the
harbour. We hope he will recover in Sweden, one
of his favorite events as we know.

One piece of good news is that Anna Louise will
be back in the Rally-eMag pages. She promised
us by E-mail: “I would love to continue the column
and I would certainly like to be involved if it’s possible.”
