On all loose surfaces Suninen would outshine both Camilli and Östberg. On tarmac it'd be between Bouffier and Camilli, give Teemu an R5 to gain more experience, maybe Catalunya for first tarmac event in WRC. For planning future prospects, it'd be Suninen only all the year.

With Ogier seemingly being a year to year proposition as team leader at M-Sport, like Watson says they do need to think about a succession plan. Tricky one though, as if you're Suninen you've got to be thinking about 2019 - and that next off-season where almost everyone's contract is up for renewal. Maybe only two drivers are contracted through 2019.
Anyway for me I think it would be a huge shame if we never saw Tidemand given a good shot in a WRC. So if I could pick I'd split the rounds between Pontus and Teemu, allowing them also both a chance at the WRC2 title in between. I'm just slightly conscious of promoting Suninen too early, so this would at least give him more chances to increase his experience without constant pressure.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

It depends on what M-Sport's priority is... if they are looking short-term to fight for the 2018 titles, or long-term to produce a future WRC winner.
Given they have kept Ogier I think the Drivers' title is the most likely, so they will look long-term for the 3rd car (money-permitting).#M-SPORTER
