M-Sport favouring youth over experience when it comes to its World Rally Championship driver line-up is nothing new, having developed a reputation for being perennial producer of star talent.
The British squad has provided a valuable proving ground for WRC stars of the future, with many of those going on to win or challenge for world titles. Its most recent success alumni being Ott Tanak and Elfyn Evans, the former going on to become world champion with Toyota in 2019, while the latter is a five-time WRC title runner-up.
