Some thoughts on Latvala...

I'm a Meeke fan. Evans is Meeke's main rival in the championship, but Latvala is his main rival in remaining employed. The latter is far more important.

Latvala has been quite fast several times, and he has been unlucky several times.

I think the bad luck and bad results has given Latvala good road position, which makes him look a little faster than he really is. Would he have led Meeke in this rally if they'd started one position apart? I have my doubts.

He is not a bad driver, but not one of the big 3 championship contenders either.

If he has a downside it's the emotional rollercoaster, which could be bad for the atmosphere in a team.

Who could Toyota hire who is substantially better than Latvala? Breen, Paddon, Ostberg, Tidemund... none of them scream "substantially better than JML". They're all second level WRC drivers like him. If Ogier or Neuville came free they'd be clear choices, so long as hiring them didn't mean losing Tanak. I guess Rovanpera might make sense as a long term investment, but that seems like a thing for 2021.

I don't think he's going anywhere. Maybe in another year.
