Mike Chen seemed at the start of the year to be kind of a gem unearthed by Red Bull. Very good in front of the camera. Knows rallying very well, despite his background being in single seaters. Also, actual racer, not just a journo major in university. Raced against HAM, ROS, and the rest of them. Red Bull clearly believed in him enough to invest in him doing Rally GB last year, which they made into a really great 5 part documentary about going rallying.
Now out of nowhere he's been missing in action for the last two rallies. Ed Leigh or whatever his name is isn't doing a bad job per se, but he's clearly not super interested (yet) in rallying. Heck, I just heard him imply that Mads Ostberg is Swedish, so he must be new to all this! Again, not trying to rip the new guy, but where's the old guy? He was doing a very good job!
PS just in case Red Bull actually read this, and since this is the premier rally forum in the world, I'm pretty sure somebody who matters keeps tabs on it, no, I am not Mike Chen, nor do I know Mike Chen, nor do I even live in the same hemisphere as Mike Chen.
