I'm always rooting for Breen. He reminds me of Latvala in that he lives rallying to the fullest extent. IMO he's far more promising than Evans, especially in quick rallies like Finland and Sweden.

I feel for Evans... After 2015 I was sure he'd be the one to stay in M-Sport against Tanak, seeing as he'd done quite well and had also gotten a podium in TdC, but this year he has shown barely a sliver of pace. Constantly lost, slow and away from the pack, frequent mistakes... After his spectacular Dmack season he had lots to prove on equal rubber. I don't see him staying much longer.
I think you've got it right re Evans and Breen. Onboard footage Elfyn always has his mouth wide open and a heart in mouth expression on his face, whereas Breen usually looks calm and collected. There is some great footage of Breen driving a MK2 escort in Ireland, flat out but chatting away to his co driver like he is on a Sunday afternoon drive. I think Breen is a more naturally talented driver and has another step, whereas I just get the feeling Evans is on his limit.
