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/yHhuBdb4Jb

If MSport do run a two car team the issue of finishing rates becomes critical, you cant have drivers who drive like lunatics and crash. The chart shows Mads and Elfyn are neck and neck here. Many of the other drivers fortunes fluctuate massively season on season 5 of 10pic.twitter.com/Xe6NmbfQok

In conclusion there are only four non-contracted Tier 2 drivers – Elfyn Evans, Hayden Paddon, Mads Ostberg and Craig Breen. Of those Elfyn and Hayden are broadly on a par in terms of points/start, podium rates / start but Elfyn having a superior finish rate 6 of 10

Craig doesn’t really compare on any measure with the other three drivers – but will sometime in the future 7 of 10

Mads stats aren’t outstanding with 1 win from 119 WRC starts, Elfyn has 77 WRC starts and Hayden 79 starts for both their wins in GB and Argentina respectively. Mads last full season at MSport was lacklustre 8 of 10

Some have smeared Elfyn’s performances in 2018 as purely being down to DMack Tyres advantage on loose surfaces – but when Mads tried them for one event he very quickly reverted to Michelin 9 of 10

Thanks for the very interesting data Kevin! Yeah, Elfyn's last year was such a great one, but this year we can't say the same. He stands out in the graphs when it ralates with 2017. This year has been very poor in results despite his success in 2017. We can't change it.

I wouldn’t say very poor, but I am a realist and would definitely say it could have been a lot better. Take dare
