    That just shows that he is nobody without powerful machine. And I think that he want badly Hyundai or Toyota, but I hope he will never get that seats there.

    Well, he won 2 events in a row wit the Fiesta this season, was really happy and positive about the future, people thought that that was another beginning of his dominant driving, now that he has learnt the car. Hasn`t happened yet...

    He is not nobody...he is currently one of three drivers you most definitely need, if you want a chance to get one of the titles.

    Absolutely, he has to be one of the worst drivers ever to drive a World Rally Car. I can't believe he was given a contract for this season. What was Malcolm thinking?

    On the topic of properly bad drivers at M-Sport, I think there's no way in hell Evans stays. Who's going to replace him? Surely not Camilli...

    Well, actually now that he has had the chance to mature in WRC2, a one-off would be nice to test his capabilities. Has done wonders in the past...

    He did beat Sordo in Portugal. (which is about the only positive)

    Anyway I don't get why people would suddenly want to kick half of wrc drivers. It's not like they are minutes behind, mostly the events are quite close. The drivers that were kicked recently were Lefebvre - who actually was minutes behind most of the time, crashed just about every rally and was sharing the seat in the first place. Haninnen - who similarly was minutes behind on most rallies, crashed and was relatively old. And Meeke who has been on "warning" for crashing by same team 2 times before (2017 and 2014?) and was actually kicked once by Mini/Prodrive.


    Also whom would you replace 3-4 drivers with? Realistically I see only Tidemand as a clear candidate. Maybe Camilli, but not so sure. Huttunen or Rovanpera are not ready for full season yet.

    Pardon my ignorance, was just wondering why more people are not talking about Tidemand as an option. Would think he surely deserves a chance by now?

    Camilli was worse than Lefebvre, especially before his Germany accident (after which I'm adamant Lefebvre lost his speed). No pace, consistency, or improvement in 2016. He's been way better in WRC2 than I expected, but with only two events so far his career seems stagnant.

    Hänninen's career was filled with gaps. In 2017 Monte Carlo he hadn't done a WRC rally since Finland 2015, which was his only rally in 2015. The beginning of the season seemed difficult for him, but he was finding his pace towards the end of the season, with good results in Finland, Deutschland and Catalunya.

    I wouldn't replace 3-4 drivers, but Tidemand should earn a chance. Camilli has been too much out of rallying this year, Rovanperä and Huttunen should still do a year or two in WRC2. Maybe Kopecky could be the tarmac expert Hyundai needs to support the struggling Paddon and Mikkelsen and crashing Sordo?
