Not really comparable as Evans was in M-Sport and Mikkelsen in Hyundai and Mikkelsen’s 10-round program was more favourable than Evans’.

But yeah Toyota may have chosen another driver than Rovanpera but taking Rovis is an investment for them. Maybe it costs them a manufacturer title (and it is too easy to summarize it like this I think) but the return on investment could be great.
And another team may have hired him without this offer.
