    Mikkelsen is good and deserves a seat in WRC, don't get me wrong, but he's had quite many seasons to prove he's capable of winning events and how many times he did so in a car he knew really well?
    People are still waiting for the driver to dethrone Ogier, and this will be just the next disappointment.

    Like Loeb, Ogier is unique in today's championship. I think Mikkelsen can challenge Ogier if he can handle the beast in any race and that Citroen next year could be a better candidate for the title.
    But there is still the possibility that Ogier will run for Citroen next year and also Mikkelsen ;-)

    Not abnormal that Norwegians treated people / animals so. But at that time, the north of Europe ruled (Viking Age). It's been a few centuries ago.

    In this Finnish interview about Neuville testing in Finland, he already mentions Mikkelsen on Citroen as one of his challengers

    EDIT: there's also a video which is in English.

    I don't think I will be wasting a pickem on Mikkelsen. There is a lot of hype about him but I don't think the car is up to it.

    I don't think you are right here. I think Andreas is different caliber driver compared to Mads.
