Evans himself told that this year was a stagnation. Maybe he seems more consistent but in R5 car, we don't know how it would be in WRC. Kubica was also consistent in WRC2 . What Evans was lacking is pure pace, especially on gravel - thats still a big question mark.

Shame if Mikkelsen couldn't get a 2017 drive. Still don't get why Hanninen has a seat, when there is 3rd best driver of 2017 on the market knocking on TMR doors...

He had some experience with cows if that could help. Ok, maybe not the best one to start negotiation with Tommi.
