    IMO Petter is better than Mikko. Nothing strange. Ogier in VW, second best free driver is Mr. Hollywood! And Petter also is the most charismatic rally driver in these days.

    Curiosity: Last Petter's win - Great Britain 2005

    If wins Monte Carlo: Gap between wins: 87 stars or 6 six years and ~200 days

    Juwra.com (http://www.juwra.com/stats_longest_g...ween_wins.html):

    Shektar Mehta - 5 years and 359 days (1973 Safari - 1979 Safari)

    Juha Kankkunen - 44 stars (1994 Portugal - 1999 Argentina)

    Petter will break these records for sure

    Mikko did not want to take a risk ending without a drive next year as Ford was not 100% certain. So they made a decision to go to Citroen quite early. --> No space for Petter.

    Anyway, should be interesting to see what he can do in the Fiesta ...
    maybe because usually teams pick drivers for their official teams not the other way around.....

    Peter's style is too aggressive.
    He squeezes the car as a lemon.
    Throw it like a sack of potatoes.
    That's not a winning strategy.
    Miko on the other hand is a delicate and smooth,
    and can be the one to surprise us all.
    You never know!

    It's great to see Ford has committed for two more years in WRC, and I'm happy to see Petter in a works car again. I still think Loeb is still favorite to win the driver's title but if both JML and Petter can stay on the road, the manufacturer's title should be very close.
    Waiting for Subaru to come back to be :champion:
