Default M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams
I see Tanak is in, but what about the rest of the teams under the M-Sport umbrella?

Østberg
Henning
Wilson
Prokop
and others that are in and out

What ford teams will run on their own, and who will be running under the M-Sport flag?

I think that's only correct regarding his Fiesta S2000 - his new Fiesta WRC is run and prepared by M-Sport (not 100% sure, but pretty close)

It's fully run by Prokop's team isn't it? Just getting help from a Msport engineer often probably such stuff. Many privateers can have that.

I think that's part of the deal when you buy an WRC car, engineer and his laptop comes with it (so to speak) at least for a certain period, no?

Ok, then i stand corrected But then he's the first to have a Fiesta WRC run/prepared another team than M-Sport, correct?

I recall last year at Rally GB that Colin Clark (WRR) said his Fiesta WRC wasn't run by his own team like the S2000 was.

He is not the only one. Östberg today used his own new Fiesta in Norway. Car of Al Rahji is I think also run separately by Simon Jean-Joseph Racing. I know about others going to be used by private teams in this season.

Ok, I was only refering to WRC rounds and and WRC cars (post 2011) and there I think he will be the first not to have his Fiesta WRC run by M-Sport. Is his team still called Jipocar Racing Team?

Interesting to see if Østberg will have his run by Adapta/Team Østberg.

PS: It's Ö in Sweden and Ø in Norway and Denmark .. same sound but differnt letter

Ö is also in Estonian, but still i write östberg, than copy-pasting Ø from somewhere.

Ah, ok. I don't have this letter on my keyboard

Yes and no... Prokop's team is Jipocar Racing but they are entered in WRC as Czech Ford National Team because they get some support from Ford and Czech ASN. Jipocar is a logistic company of Prokop's father.

so formally team's name is Czech Ford National Team, but in reality it's Jipocar Racing Team. Only the name has changed?

It's very common in WRC that entry-name is different from team-name. E.g. the M2 team Armindo Arauju WRC is the entry name but the team running/preparing the car is Motorsport Italia.
