I believe they are aiming at having another "Evans", clearly they can't expect from anyone whoever end up with to win the titles, bit a few wins or podiums. Why not, just to showcase that the car is still competitive and for "free".
We have Mikkelsen, Latvala, Meeke, Lappi, Ostberg and Paddon available and one of them will be glad to except it for free, just to drive and stay sharp.
If the pressure will now fall to Suninen, who knows maybe he could deliver, but I'm more sure that he will not since he is not that good at setup the car and needs a "mentor".
We will see. I just hope that Greensmith won't "steal" a precious permanent second seat. I would degredate him to lower class to find extra experience.

Assuming Ogier is Toyota bound and money doesn't come into it, who should M-Sport choose to partner Suninen in 2020?
I can't decide, from the long list of availables, who's best.

If it was me making the decision, it would be Lappi.
In my opinion, he has the most potential and is the youngest with the longest possible career ahead of him.
Meeke, Ostberg, Mikkelsen, Latvala and Paddon have been in the game a long time and are known quantities now. Lappi is still a bit of a mystery but there have been some good glimpses of his potential.

Question is, which drivers will be that arrogant enough to not "not" want to pay to have a seat at M-Sport?

Gryazin is fast, but should try to keep the car on road more.. Crashing WRC is way more expensive than R5's..
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
