It's good to remember all three teams will have completely new cars. The balance between them could be anything. We cannot assume Toyota is as dominant as it is now, we cannot assume Hyundai being as good as it was in early 2017, we cannot assume M-Sport being as bad as they are now. It will all be a surprise.
There is a huge gap from say Evans, Breen and Forumaux team to Breen, Fourmaux, Greensmith.
If they really had the money (and not just PR talk) there are at least 5 available drivers better than Greensmith.

Yes the balance between teams can change, but in MSports case to suceed both the car and 2/3 drivers have to massively improve to even be competetive.
