So Portugal, what was that...? Just a lie?
Ofcourse Ogier is a better driver then Mikkelsen in 90% of the rally , no doubt. But at that rally Mikkelsen showed that his top speed is just as good as (or in this case, better then) Ogiers. Give both Mikkelsen and Neuville 6 years and a lot of experience and we will see that their top speed is pretty good

thats not logic.
you cant choose one rally and make statements for any driver.

It's not one rally, it's a couple of stages on sunday.

Are you familiar with the saying "too small a sample size"? Because that is exactly that. Mikkelsen has to show that speed all year long.......not 1 or 2 stages..

Ogier from the beginning of his carreer showed TOP TOP speed with minor experience and ability to win stages and rallies,against a top driver called LOEB.

Mikkelsen has little less speed, but shouldn't be underestimated. He is doing well

i doubt mikkelsen has room to improve. people sometimes seem to forget that he has done in total more rally's than ogier or meeke.
it's his 4th season with vw for christ sake, he really isn't going to improve much. certainly not enough to become a real challenger for ogier.

Mikkelsen's problem is the experience from his first rallies as a rich privateer boy. He's still struggling to cure the bad habits of nervous/emotional car control. When you drive unclear, these "additional" moves slow you down even if you are pushing as hell. Ogier with the same car is precise like a train on rails, his every arm/foot move is considered and needed. At the end of the day he is faster and more relaxed. Meeke is also very precise this season.

You are aware that Mikkelsen has done around 60 WRC rallies in a WRC car by now? Ogier around 90, so about 2 years more should be sufficient to have the same WRC experience as Ogier. And then we're not taking into account that Mikkelsen has done around 20 rallies more than Ogier if we count all starts.
