I believe next year M Sport will all run Michelin. The D Mack car will be a separate entry (like Ostberg was this year).

Who's gonna be the next maiden winner? Whoever it is, I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen in 2018.[/QUOTE
And what iff tidemand or sunninen get a proper m-sport program, think they both could suprise on some events. Breen can probably score some podiums if the car gets more consistent.

The key point is Ogier and Tanak both knew Evans had a significant advantage before the rally started being on the DMack tyres. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd tried the DMack tyres on the pre event test, and even if they hadn't the data doesn't lie. They could probably both see the significant level of grip advantage Evans had, the speed held through the corners. You don't magically find grip where the whole WRC field are struggling in the exact same cars (other than tyres).
I like Evans but if you don't think there is anyone who can put hand on heart and say the tyres didn't play a part in this win.
At the end of the day it's great to have another winner, but don't kid yourselves. Let's not get carried away.

We had exactly the same situation when Tanak ran the DMACK's (and he didnt win with them).
He hasnt done too badly since going to the Michelins...

True, but Evans nearly won in Argentina and Tanak was nowhere. Both were pretty quick in Finland on Dmack, but Tanak crashed.

When he was on Dmack 2016...not this year. We are comparing what they did on Dmack No?
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
