M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

Strong rumors of Evans as the other full season driver.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

He means I as in I, the owner of M-sport... come on.

From the article:

"M-Sport is still counting the cost of two years of funding Ogier."

That's just the article quote, mine is Wilson's own words.

Either way, to me it's clear that he is referring to himself as the owner / figurehead of M-Sport, not that he funded, but Eddie, maybe I should not have brought it up again. Happy to disagree on it.

Lots of Welsh fans have been telling me Evans deserves to be #1 at M-Sport now and is the best for the role.

Does anyone agree and rate Evans as a WRC driver deserving a seat ?

Would evans get a seat in any of the orher teams at the minute as a number 3 driver never mind a number 2. I dont think he would. The fact that theres no other viable number 1 for msport is his only arguement. Dont get me wrong i like evans and admire his commitment but he just isnt number 1 driver material. Give sunninen the role and see it would help him progress greatly as a driver i think. Evans has had several chances and just not made the cut

" M-Sport boss Malcolm Wilson dipped deep into his personal pockets to secure Ogier for 2017 and understandably it’s not something he wishes to do again."

I also saw a video interview with Wilson saying exactly the same, it was at the end of 2017 and i can`t find it anymore. You are welcome to look them through yourself.

Evans has won and leading multiple events, Breen hasn't. As much as Ilike Breen I would prefer Evans for 2nd sest at MSport

but has breen shown his full potential yet? Evans had 4 full seasons and with 1 victory and a few podiums in that time mostly thanks to Dmacks aswell y not take a risk on breen and go with him. Wilson knows what breens capable of from their s2000 days so why not he cant do much worse than evans

Put Breen on Dmacks and he wins a rally.

Sweden aside, Breen's 2018 was terrible. Evans didn't do much better himself, but atleast he showed some pace and consistency on the last few rallies.

You think he was driving to his maximum, or told to go steady to help Ogier? I'm hoping he was steady, if not, then he probably doesn't deserve another shot... the fact that he's still on Wilson's shortlist says something.
