Welshman sends plea to his world champion team-mate
Wales Rally GB winner Elfyn Evans has urged five-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Ogier to stay with the M-Sport team next season.
MN understands Ogier remains on the brink of a decision, with a further season at M-Sport reckoned to be the most likely option. That’s an option Evans says would make perfect sense for him.
“I don’t know what his plans are,” said Evans, “but I really hope he doesn’t go. I’ve enjoyed working with him and Julien [Ingrassia, co-driver] and I’ve really learned from them this season. This team has achieved so much this season, but moving forward I think there’s even more that we could do together.
“It would be such a shame to change the team too much, I’d love the chance to pick up next season where we finish at the end of this year if he’s still with the team.”
