Good drive by Mikkelsen but helped a lot in winning by the misfortunes of Sordo and Lukyanuk. The luck usually evens itself out but Lukyanuk does seen to get more bad luck than good.

Mikkelsen has 176 points now on the championship.
The best Marczyk can do is 175 with 2*40 (excluding worst result which would be Fafe in the best case scenario) so cannot be champion anymore.
Lukyanuk cannot do more than 175 also.
The last one who could beat Andreas is Llarena who could make 182.
So Mikkelsen just need to make a daily top-5 (+ beating Llarena in the same day) to be champion in Hungary.
Good drives from Mikkelsen since he is with Edmondson. Hope they can have some WRC shots next year. In the end, after a difficult beginning, quite an «*easy*» championship for him.
In WRC-2, he should also win with Ostberg’s last result (at least, he is in a good position now as he would need 13 or 14 points in Monza in the worst case scenario). He may even just need to finish in Monza to win the championship according to Ostberg’s result in Catalunya + the number of WRC-2 competitors in Monza.
My surprise of the rally - Tempestini. Until his mechanical (?) problem and retirement showing some really great speed.
Congrats to Mikkelsen. He did what he have to.
Is it only my impression or do MRF drivers have many accidents? First it was Lindholm, then Breen, Huttunen and now also Sordo (who is not a driver who crashes a lot, is he?).
Some examples:

Lindholm has had many crashes in WRC3 on Pirelli. Maybe more than in Finland on MRF (after all I believe he just won the Finnish championship).
For Sordo and Breen, they are also driving the I20. Which is sometimes fast but seemingly tricky to drive.
