Eddie, it’s cool that you’re a true M-Sport fan through and through, but you need to maybe open your mind a little more with regard to how that team has functioned over the last few years.
Wilson has had Evans there because he was a balance between getting a reasonable job done and costing next to nothing. He’s now established himself and the chips have fallen in his favour, so he’s got a chance to actually go and be a proper works driver.
Shame it leaves them up shit creek as we stand because I’m not sure at all that Suninen has the minerals to step up into his place. Let’s hope Jari can bring some money, relax and drive the shit out of the fiesta, it all actually might work out well for all involved.

He can always retire. He has had his years, he had his chances. He isn't likely going to improve.

You seem to be fixated on the idea that he'd be paying out of his own bank account... If he can get sponsors to bring some money, why would he not keep going? The guy loves what he does, he loves the sport. When I was at Oulton Park for Rally GB, JML walked across the paddock looking backwards, as behind him there was a big screen showing old RAC Rally footage! What's he going to do instead? Unfortunately, as we are aware, unlike a lot of guys retiring we know he won't be coming out with the 'more time with family and kids' line for now. Why not try and get another year in these cars? If anyone can get sponsorship, surely it has to be JML, being such a popular figure. Anyway, he'd likely be replacing Evans, who was likely paying (and getting paid) nothing for the drive.

T16 knows it all doesnt he...
Re Evans - it suited MW to use him but also you need to realise that Evans wouldnt have been in WRC with anyone else for most of his career. MW should be praised for his system of developing people over lonh periods and not criticised constantly as some kind of wicked user of poor little driver's.
Re Latvala - I dont want him back at M-Sport. Its time to give a younger guy another chance.
