its funny how you want to make an excuse for Ogier always.

Well, I'll just say that I'm considering a victory in Sweden for non-Nordic driver an achievement. That was my point - Ogier worked hard for it, not underestimating Mikkelsen's one, not at all.

This is not the point. The point are the reactions.
Ogier celebrated soon (rightfully).
Mikkelsen said "this is not the way I wanted to win but..." and then celebrated (rightfully and showing more style than his teammate, although it was his maiden and for-years-searched WRC win).

That's quite a statement from the man who cannot bear to see a negative word on these forums about his leotarded hero.

Yes I know, Mikkelsen wanted to make his win by beating the best there, and we know who that was. I don't remember the exact history of Sweden this year, but didn't Ogier had some problem there early in the stages (mistake probably)?

So did Mikkelsen, so they were more or less equal on mistakes there.
The exiting thing about Mikkelsen is that he's continuing to show progress, so hopefully he can reach Ogier's pace regularly within a year or two, although it might seem impossible that anyone ever will.

Frankly I was impressed by his speed on Spanish tarmac as well. Wish him good luck in his future campaigns. Supporting any driver with ambition and skills to achieve his highest goal.

i don't understand why anybody would expect mikkelsen to make enough progress to beat ogier or even latvala.
he's been driving rally's for 9 years now, its his 3th wrc season in a works team. if he cant match the pace of ogier now, he will most likely never be able too match it.
