    Evans was about to win Corsica ahead of the trio and has shined previously also, so you could say he is quite good on black stuff. All the others you mentioned are quite the opposite when it comes to tarmac. Specialist Bouffier had two go`s and well, not the expected result. Camilli has been good in R5 and current speed in WRC is unknown so can`t say anything.

    It would make a strange kind of sense for Breen to do Germany for M-Sport, then later Wales for Hyundai. Hard to see it happening, but...

    I can’t believe Bouffier would be considered for the ‘works’ car, Camilli could be an option, but I doubt he will be in the frame for other outings. If it were me, either Paddon or Breen would be best option. I know Paddon is no tarmac expert, but Breen wasn’t very good there last year either, more or less the same as Ostberg. The way Malcolm was talking on AllLive he didn’t sound confident at all that Evans would even be back for Turkey, so it might be possible to run Breen in Germany, and Paddon in Turkey....if Evans can’t drive I’d like to see that.

    I was shocked to see Bouffier's speed on Tarmac, I genuinely expected him to pull off something nice.

    As for Camilli, I think he has improved from his disastrous year at M-Sport but he shouldn't be put in a WRC until it's a given that he won't put his life at risk behind the wheel.

    It's 5 years since he was 2nd on Monte, times change.

    I would think it would be more important for M-Sport to put the quickest driver available in the R5 car.

    That is where their income comes from, not WRC1.

    They really, really need a decent result from that new car.

    What future to R5? Hire Jan Kopecky?

    M-Sport should picked Grøndal or Tidemand to NORF. Lets see Germany... Camilli very strong in tarmac.

    Agree on Kopecky. If he wants to drive a Ford, he would give valuable input.

    Otherwise I would look to Italy, many capable asphalt expert there.
    Bonato from France is another good option.

    Well at the moment they led the WRC2 Pro for manufacturers. So it's not bad at all.
