    The most overrated rally driver?

    Since there's been "bashing" but also very analytic discussions about different drivers and their performance, I felt like this thread is a must.

    Who is the most overrated rally driver and why? Let's keep it clean and civil.

    Past or present?
    I don't think there are many false expectations out there at the moment. Everyone's a pretty well known quantity.

    Garde was really good but never won. JML should never stay in the works squad after all shunts and mistakes he had. But money turns the world around.

    Mikko Hirvonen, he could be a paper champion soon. He only appears to be good because of team orders, although he is a way better driver than anyone on here could be.

    this kind of bs is often said here, its not relevant, would you accept poor work from a tradesman because it was better than you could do?


    And Mikko is better than many here think, he just shouldnt have been made No1 as soon. He has driven some great events but often he is beaten in his head before he gets to the stages
