Too bad.

If M-Sport are still interested in the constructors they need to put Meeke in the #2 car and put Evans in an R5 for the remainder of the season and maybe let Evans have a go in car #3 in Wales and...

Were M-Sport not making money on the WEC cars, they would probably have quit by now. Quite a bit of the funds for making the 2017 WRC Fiesta probably came from the profits of selling the Bentley GT3...

Nice. Also probably a very strong indicator he will get a contract for next year.

Either that or they take the opportunity to gather data and compare as well as letting the drivers get a feeling for both. When they introduce changes there are often pros and cons, this way the...

There is still a chance that Meeke could bring a car home in one piece that doesn't have the driving physics of a bouncy castle.

Evans just crashes at a slower pace.

Except for Wales I'm pretty sure Meeke could do better than Evans in every remaining round.

M-Sport should bring on Meeke for all the rounds they haven't scheduled a third driver yet. If he does well and Evans doesn't improve, swap them for the second car.

What are you talking about? By what measure is he more committed than anyone else? How would we know?

Agreed. Possibly Evans has the same problem. He had a strongish season last year and maybe he figured he had learnt a lot from Ogier and that easy will do it from now on in.

On a different note,...

It's funny you should mention Østberg and Tanak along with Evans. For a long time they were really similar, being very fast some of the time but also really disappointing the rest of the time. Most...

I doubt it would work. He was actually doing fine in Mexico until he crashed and Corsica was also okay considering he had to swap codrivers last minute.

I was pretty damn disappointed with him in...

Again, they'd have three drivers fighting for the championship. Why would Ogier leave a team that builds around him for one where there is likely to be conflict.

Ogier sounds very happy with the car development and lots of upgrades are yet to go on the car, Ford is back in the mix and would probably help lifting wage raises if he demands any, Evans is a loyal...

Time for Evans to step up. High time.

Bean counter. The basic livery is identical. It's just a couple of different sponsors on Suninen's car.

When was the last time Ford brought three cars with identical liveries...

Ford Performance have a lot of research facilities a their disposal such as windtunnels and computer simulations, currently mostly used for track car engineering (Ford GT WEC). I'm pretty sure the...

Oh there we go. So Camilli or Suninen might still be a go in Germany and Australia.

I just checked out the pictures of the livery. At least it looks nice. But I have noticed that there is no Ford Performance stickers at all, opposed to Bouffiers. Also, it has start number 10 on it,...

The trouble is who are they going to call upon? Camilli I guess could do a job in Germany but he is very incosistant. Suninen is already booked for all the rallies he is likely to do well in. Apart...

I guess if the seat was given to Camilli or especially Suninen they would have been told to take it very easy. As Anttil mentioned it would have been good for Suninen to gain WRC Monte experience but...

I guess that's the price we have to pay for the Ford Performance backing. Ford USA are so desperate to have him compete somewhere. I wonder why. He's an excellent stuntman. Just leave it at that,...
