I would have thought so, Gwyndaf was not world level fast and crashed a lot, so rather unlike his son!

Well, if Elfyn was any more laid back he'd be horizontal. That was the joke.

Extra funny considering how he drives (sits in the seat). He always looks like he perished and was reborn as a rally driver in the middle of a rally (isekaid).

I mean that lovingly, I am a big fan of his

Like he is taking some shit and is scared as hell. But when the camera is facing road, he drive so calm and fine. It's really funny looking his expressions on face.

He is lovingly awkward. I will never forget when he forgot is cap in the doort and tried to awkwardly reach it multiple times during the stage end interview. Really relatable as an awkward person myself. Hopefully he gets to be world champion at the end of the year

As a Brit I've always supported Evans especially with him being at M-Sport so long and from young.

But I find it hard to really be a fan-boy with his character being so downbeat. Of course it takes all kinds, but he really lacks much character or charisma. He's more one to respect rather than love.

I actually root for him for two years now. He deserves it, and sorry Ogier don't. Especially when he is playing dirty with this ''part time'' (which obviously is every year longer, and it seems like it's harder every year to do it that way). And if Evans will manage to do it this year, I hope that next year will be more even in constructor championship, but seems it will be even more predictable in that sector as this year, when Toyota is almost everywhere 1,2,3,4 or more.
