In the event of a tie I take this rule to mean that you factor in more than one result (greater number of highest places). So we need to look at the WRC2 classifications on rallies in which they both took part.

Portugal: Evans 14th // Suninen 16th
Poland: Evans 2nd // Suninen 1st
Finland: Evans 3rd // Suninen 2nd

So Suninen has the greater number of highest places (2), plus his best highest place (when head to head with Evans) is higher (1st).

I'll admit the wording is quite vague. Most rulebooks seem to be. But this is my best interpretation...
Yes but

First rule:
10.1.1 According to the greater number of first places, then second places, then third places, etc.,
achieved in the final classifications on their respective Championship, counting only those rallies which
have served to make up their points total;

Do they mean the 7 rallies of which 6 results counted? Or only the 6 in which they score points? If it is 7, the 14th place of Evans (vs 16th for Suninen) will make him champion...
