Elfyn Evans will miss next month's Rally Finland after complications due to an injury sustained during last weekend's Rally Estonia. While currently sitting fourth in the championship standings, Evans is the best of the rest behind the WRC's 'big three.' “I’m absolutely gutted to be missing Rally Finland, but we suffered a pretty heavy landing in Estonia and have been advised to sit it out and focus on making a full and quick recovery," Evans said. "It’s a hard one to take right now, but I have to trust the advice of the experts and the team have all been really supportive. "I’ll now focus on my recovery, and getting back behind the wheel as soon as possible.” Evans will be replaced by Gus Greensmith, who made an impressive debut in a World Rally Car in Portugal. “After their impressive debut with the world rally car earlier this year, we felt it only right to offer the seat to Gus and Elliott," Team Principal, Richard Millener said. "I know they’ll make the most of this opportunity, and they’ll have a pre-event test tomorrow to ensure they’re as prepared as they can be for the challenges ahead.” Greensmith will join Teemu Suninen and returning Kiwi, Hayden Paddon, in the team's Ford Fiestas.
