Nice to see WRC on mainstream TV, albeit regional (BBC NI have a good-ish record). Words the same, might even be new footage although maybe I did not see all of last week:

Seems more like an open secret now rather than just a "rumour".

If Paddon stays at Hyundai on a half season deal (he'd be silly to do so vs a possible full season at Msport), then I don't see why Malcolm would want to keep Evans for another year over giving Pontus Tidemand a chance. Evans doesn't bring money, and he's had 4 full seasons or something in the WRC now and not shown enough.
You could say Kalle's speed this year has maybe shown Pontus up a little, but he still deserves a chance in a WRC car and it would be exciting to see him alongside Suninen and Breen in a youthful team. Evans being given a 5th year wouldn't really be exciting or interesting (unless you're a huge fan of Evans and that's what you care about most).
If Malcolm can put faith in Eric Camilli then surely Tidemand deserves at least a season, especially when there are very few other options around.

Re Breen to M-Sport, I've been saying this for weeks.[/QUOTE]
You also said Breen possibly to Hyundai and Paddon possibly to M-Sport, Eddie..... no prizes for covering every possible outcome.

After I realized this is 4th full season for Evans I had short look on how many season drivers did (including 2018). I didn't check very precisely so it's just an idicator. I count full season when driver only missed 1-2 rallies. I also added driver age (going just by year)
Latvala 12 - 33 years
Sordo 9 + 4 short ones - 35y
Ogier 8 + 1 short - 35y
Neuville 7 - 30y
Tanak 5 - 31y
Østberg 4 + 3-4 short (often with private car) -31y
Mikkelsen 4 + 2 short - 29y
Evans 4 - 30y
Meeke 3 + 3 short -39 y
Paddon 3 + 2 short - 31y
Breen 0 + 3 short - 28y
Lappi 1 + 1 short -27y
Suninen 0 (though this year is almost full) - 24y
Apart from Latvala who I knew off from before, I was surprised Neuville has been around for so long. Clearly Evans also stands out in this comparison , specially since Paddon, Breen, Lappi and sometimes also Suninen have been faster than him this year.

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a shakedown of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7OEfYKoYV1/?igsh=czZzYzB1dm9zeHd4 ...
