Anyway, if Rovanperä finds again his last year form, there is no debate: best solution for Toyota is to renew the Rovanperä/Evans duo in the 2 first cars.
Evans is the best number 2 driver available, quite close from number 1 but not a big match so no big risk of fight with Rovanperä.
Only solution to counter this would be Hyundai reuniting the Neuville/Tänak duo but it sounds unlikely. Or Hyundai (or M-Sport) hiring Evans but I don’t see the point for Evans of leaving Toyota.
Considering the difference of age, the time clearly spends in favor of Rovanperä.
Well, I agree, retirement sounds the most likely option for Tänak IMO considering how it happens so far.
