Check the previous page, he hasn't tested a lot. It was Suninen who did the pre season testing.

Hänninen has been Toyota's main test guy. Lappi has tested like 8 times.

And I think Lappis learning curve increased most in Portugal and Sardinia events.

Which is a damn side more than Mikkelsen. I have a feeling the C3 is not competitive at all unless you find the perfect setup (Meeke in Mexico, Breen every once in a while) or you have balls of steel (Meeke all the time). But the latter method will bite back.

Edit: This was a reply to Rally power who said that the break between Loeb and Citroen was a myth. Can't refind the post though and it looks like I forgot to qoute.

I'm not convinced. He drove Peugeots at various rallies since and haven't driven a Ctiroen. The one at rallylegend will be his first for a long while.
That said, it would be great if he could come in and save the miserable situation Citroen has put themselves in.

The way things are going, I fear I will see Ogier in the team next season
