I agree with you Warren. Elfyn Evans is the perfect team leader. Elfyn has 4 yrs experience of the whole championship, was mentored to lead by Ogier for 2 yrs and has winning experience / speed. His measured driving to help Ogier this year was the sign of pro whose time had come

Evans to lead a team. Ha. Take off the Welsh flag. Neither Evans nor Breen are team leader material, both had similar seasons, despite Evans having 4 yrs full championship experience.

Of the available drivers who could lead it. Only Hyundai appear able to sign Loeb (ie money and car availability) . Paddon is very similar to Elfyn in terms of performances, and surely Hyundai wouldn’t let him go. So who else is available of a caliber better than Elfyn? No one

Looking at the stats, the points scoring ability in the new generation cars is very similar between Evans, Paddon & Ostberg - all 7 pts per start. Elfyn the best in terms of podium finishes with 1 per 4 starts. So the facts say Evans is best as lead driver

Can't agree this time Kevin. Looking at the stats I can't imagine Evans leading at M-Sport. If the last year was a quite good one with D-Mack winning almost two rounds, this has been horrible. Always far from Ogier & being inconsistent. The graph say it everything:pic.twitter.com/5VGZpf97wQ

"Point's comparasion between 2017 & 2018 - Drivers". With respect the last year, Elfyn has been who has lost more points. And Suninen the same, very poor results. They're young & they need a mate with experience to learn & improve. If this one doesn't come, M-Sport is in danger.

Let me come back Rayan once I look at your data - I deliberately choose the two seasons in the new generation cars for the cyclical nature of performance for drivers outside of the ‘Golden Three’ (4?). Who appear immune to good / bad season cycle of the merely very good drivers

As I said Rayan I deliberately choose the two seasons in the new generation cars to reflect the cyclical nature of performance for effectively ‘Tier 2’ drivers outside of the ‘Golden Four’ who appear immune to good / bad season cycles 1 of 10

The chart you provided really doesn’t measure performance in any relevant way. Somebody who had a nightmare season in 2017 was bound to look brilliant in comparison in 2018 e.g. Mads & Hayden. Conversely those who performed well in 2017 are hammered for 2018 e.g. Elfyn 2 of 10

The chart effectively rewarded poor baseline performance. Equally the chart focused on points scored rather than points scored per full WRC start. My chart below shows the points per start scored across 2017/18 and individually in 2017 & 2018 3 of 10pic.twitter.com/xmtWpa0Wxh

In my view more importantly for a discussion around lead drivers is the podium success rate per start. My chart below shows Elfyn’s strengths as he had the highest podium hit rate of the uncontracted driver in 17/18. Despite operating as wingman for Ogier 4 of 10pic.twitter.com/QzSNFaCD2a
