In a way this lineup is a repeat of MSport 2018, just swapping Suninen with a guy that never drove a WRC car. That lineup had no chance in manu champ even against much weaker Hyundai/Toyota lineup than the one Hyundai is bringing to 2020.

I think it’s clear that Hyundai will be favourites for the manufacture title next year, and probably Toyota accept that and are looking to 2021 with Evans and Rovanpera. Big opportunity for both to lead the team after next year, particularly Evans...up to them to use it.
If they don’t there will be a prime seat up for grabs in 2021...
