I didn't count power stage as they are highly affected by who is allowed to push (ex. Meeke in Spain, Mikkelsen in Turkey etc..), without them I get very different results:
(obviously there can be errors)
Monte Sw Mex Cors Arg Chile Port Sard Fin Ger Tur GB Sp
Mikkelsen 0 18 4 0 25 10 0 15 15 12 18 15 0 132
Meeke 15 12 18 8 18 4 0 8 0 25 10 25 0 143
Evans 0 15 25 25 0 18 18 12 0 0 0 18 12 143
Latvala 18 0 10 6 15 2 15 0 18 18 10 0 15 127
Suninen 4 0 0 15 10 15 25 18 10 0 15 0 10 122
Lappi 0 25 0 12 0 12 0 10 25 10 25 0 0 119
Sordo 0 0 8 18 12 0 0 25 0 15 12 0 25 115
Or listed by points:
Evans 143 (first because of more 2nd places than Meeke), missed 3 rounds
Meeke 143
Mikkelsen 132, missed 3 rounds
Latvala 127
Suninen 122
Lappi 119
Sordo 115, missed 5 rounds
There are also some properly ridiculous results in there, like Latvala finishing 5th in Mexico 18 mins behind. That's highly unlikely to happen cause there would be other WRC cars. All the overseas events are really sensitive to this so all the drivers that did superrally or lost huge chunks of time but still made it to finish at those benefit a lot in this comparison.

I don't want to be the guy that spoil the parties but there are a lot of variable we are not taking into account like the road order and the pressure of being the leader of the championship.

i know, i only counted WRC category and this was just for fun. E: to be clear i counted the R5 cars in rally results, not in the points table.
How i did was, that i just took Tänak, Ogier, Neuville out of the results. In my calculation i have also included power stage points.
Like mknight says some results were quite ridiculous, the same Mexico were Latvala was 5th with 18 minutes down but thats all because there arent many competitors on oversea rallies and a lot of guys in super rally.Last edited by EstWRC; 4th November 2019 at 07:10.

It's pretty clear that Elfyn Evans is the 'best of the rest'.
And hence the interest from Toyota for 2020.#M-SPORTER

What's pretty clear is that Evans and Mikkelsen are clearly better than Latvala and Meeke (similar or better points with 3 rounds less) and much better than Suninen and Lappi. Note that they have an average of 10 points per round, so they could theoretically be on above 130 points with Meeke being next on 98.
Judging between them is rather hard. As some indicators are slightly better for one and some for the other.
Anyway I was very vocal already in April that Toyota should get Evans if they want to get much better chances in manu champ.

I think he's been pretty OK. There have been rallies where he's been excellent, although he couldn't finish them in one piece. But as Oleg Gross (one of the biggest supporters behind Tänak) said: in order to learn your limits and become a good driver, you must drive on the edge. In order to feel your limit, you must experience crashes etc to know how to avoid them next time. Rallying isn't like going to the forest to pick up mushrooms.
Teemu is just 25 and is doing pretty much his second (last year he was in a R5 in Monte) full season in WRC. Give him time. Clearly he has promise.
I really doubt it. And even if they do, does Ogier care? He came for the win.
