Maybe the same as Evans... he gets a wage from his dad's Ford dealership plus RB sponsorship.

If Ford stay and MW doesnt need to pay big Ogier wages then M-Sport could still stay in the WRC.
Surely Red Bull are gone. If I were Malcolm I think I'd have tried to roll out some excellent hospitality for Spain and in connection with Block being there, tried to entice the likes of Monster Energy, Sonax or even Ford Performance (USA) to attend and get onboard with the WRC... They'd be a perfect partner for a 'youth' team of Sunninen, Breen, Evans/Tiedemans and occasional Block! Easier said than done though I suppose.

As for Meeke, it doesn't really surprise me that he fits into the picture at Toyota. More so than with Hyundai or Citroen, Toyota in the WRC seems to be much more of a passion project for the organisation, particularly pushed by Akio Toyoda. The whole "Gazoo" thing, backing Tommi in the first place with his 'village team' project over TMG. To me Meeke's character fits perfectly here. Plus, he's getting on a bit. This could be a one year deal, a nice final dance for Meeke, leaving the door open nicely for Kalle to come in 2020...
