    If google translate is correct, Mikkelsen had negotiations with Tommi Mäkinen last week, but he wouldn't join the team before 2018.

    As Mikkelsen, I'd be happy with this, try to focus on preparing for all events next season by doing the recces and driving the WRC2 events and maybe even testing a bit. Maybe he could even get a fourth car seat in one rally?

    It's surely not bad the way it looks for him now, yet I could imagine that his inexperience in the new cars will be a remarkable disadvantage next year. If he is going to join Toyota (or any other team) next year it'd be good for him to sign the contract asap so he can at least do a lot of testing and development work with the car he'll be driving next year beside competing in WRC2 this year.

    Mikkelsen needs to be careful... Ogier may come back on the market for 2018.

    you portuguese guys seem to be very confident here regarding where Mikkelsen goes and where Ogier is or not.

    Yes, but only saying vague, criptic things isn't helping at all.

    M-Sport would surely do good to get to the root of all the little brake- hydraulic- and electrical problems that slow all their drivers down in each rally to make Ogier more confident that he should stay there.

    No-one in any media is aware of Ogier's future and they speculate that he could go to another team in 2018 (hence why Mikkelsen isnt being snapped up). Tell us what you've heard or stop these pointless posts.

    Cool down Eddie, no need to follow the media or look into a crystal ball, Ogier will be at Citroen next year...it's written in the stars!
