Then how did the rest of 2012 go? Remember Mikkelsen had a full 2011 of Skoda familiarisation under his belt - was he able to match Ogier?
Fast forward to 2014

He makes mistakes from time to time but fewer than the competition over the course of a season and he is a challenger on every surface. He has beaten Latvala and Mikkelsen for 4 years without having to invoke the Loeb gambit! He is just better and like a maestro can make an old fiddle sound like a Strad!!
I'd probably say quick more consistently.
From what I've seen over the years I think Latvala at his best is faster than Ogier at his best. But Ogier is very good at being close to his best nearly all the time, and Latvala hasn't been close enough to his best as often.
Latvala is, in my extremely biased opinion, the fastest driver currently in the WRC. There's no doubt at all that confident Latvala can win an event. Since the second half of 2014 his mental state deteriorated faaaast. Now he's found a new cozy home, and I dare say he's at his best ever.
In the podcast he said he'd focus on consistency this year too. Might he be mixing in the final ingredient for his title formula?

Better than nothing and again a benchmark for WRC2 drivers.
