It's probably the expectations that Mikkelsen gained with his last drive at VW and all his 'fighting back to WRC' social-media stuff in 2017. This meant we all thought he'd be on the pace once he got the factory drive.
Last season even the shared car combo of Sordo-Paddon outscored him, not just Neuville.
And this season he is still mostly struggling with the car despite all the experience he now has with it. And here Loeb totally embarrassed him.
Simply not good enough.
"All it cost him is 3 driver points, which in his position are rather pointless anyway"
Are you serious? Next year it is probably one of either Meeke or Latvala out of Toyota. Those 3 points could potentially cost him a job next year. Fair reason to be pissed, I think.
His performance is this rally is not ok comparing to Loeb. His performance this season is ok, comparing to both Loeb and Sordo.
Re-post manu points:
Hyundai
Mikkelsen 36 /5 = 7,2 points/rally
Loeb 27/4 = 6,75 points/rally
Sordo 20 /3 = 6,67 points/rally
This year he was the only driver bare the top 3 fighting on podium in every rally he started, and he was also never the slowest Hyundai.... both until Chile.
I agree that what he did on this rally is totally not good enough, but I find it strange that people that watch every rally here don't seem to remember more than results of the last rally.
