Evans has a contract for next season. Yes he has been underwhelming a little bit compared to last 2 yrs, but the season could've been a lot different had he not chucked away the lead in Monte and a podium in Sweden. He was immediately up against it and perhaps lost a little confidence.

He doesn't cause trouble, he will rack up points and it seems there is a perfect dynamic in that Toyota team. I don't think 3 championship challengers can work in 1 team - so don't see why Toyota would bother adding Tanak alongside Kalle and Evans.

If Evans feels like Kalle is about to become a dominant force like Ogier did to Latvala at VW, then maybe Evans looks to go back to Msport. But then surely beating Kalle in the same car is easier than doing it at Msport considering Msports history of development struggles.
