It's like this. B segment drivers need to step up from their game to the higher level. Only one who can show that now is Evans I think. I just hope that crying frenchie will not ruin everything again. Toyota will not be tolerate like M-Sport is. Evans needs to play his own game and still be there for nr. 1 guy but not risking his own future of driving slow just to please Ogier, which in case he did the whole 2017-2018.

Then there is Lappi. I believe he doesn't have that much pressure on him because M-Sport knows they can't fight for any title, just for occasional podium or even win. He have a time for develop further and maybe fight for it later in season or even next year if he will still be in this team.

In case of Mikkelsen, Breen, Ostberg, Paddon, Meeke. They have much worse situation now without a drive. But when opportunity comes I would not look at others just to myself if I was in their shoes. All along it's going all abput their future not others.

I think Latvala's time is over in WRC. He needs to realize that soon. Even if Ogier will go out which was case for most of his not-winning the titles ''problem'' he now have 2 more guys who are absolutely much better than him and have greater chances of titles than him.

All of teams want one guy who can fight for WDC. One consistent guy who can be there to support nr. 1 car. And one guy who can be there in case one of those two hit the trouble. Problem of most of B segment drivers is that they have high expectations of winning WDC even if their future is at risk or even don't have a contract. The Only ones who knows his places are Sordo and Loeb. They bot know that they will not win anymore and that pressure out of their shoulders show then in better results than most of others.
