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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

i don't understand why anybody would expect mikkelsen to make enough progress to beat ogier or even latvala.Quote:

Remember that Ogier got some insane amounts of testing Km's in 2012 and Mikkelsen has had a lot less testing these last years than the other two. He's also been ahead of Latvala overall for most of the last two seasons. The things that's happened to him in the past could be the things that gives him the hunger needed to be the best as well, we will see ;) Hopefully he won't be another guy that wins championships when a Seb has gone...Quote:

yeah, just xxx hours in a fabriks car and he can't beat the best man active in the world---what a total loser...
NOT even a man really. prolly wears dresses under his Nomex rompersuit.
Hey if you PM Lundis he can probably send you Mikkelsens home adress and you can drive by and tell him is no match--and he go back to GruppH 240 Volvo..
I think that we now know the real reason behind Ogier's bad luck on the power stage... ;)

PSA non-homologated stuff, part xxx+1 :)
In post event scrutineering FIA stewards found that rear axle beams of cars No.83 and 84 were not according to the homologation. As usually the parts were supplied by Peugeot Sport and Peugeot itself claimed there was a mistake in the homologation form (it is said it was some holes which are not present on the photo). FIA decided that Peugeot has to pay 30 thousand Euro fine and cover expenses connected to putting stuff in order.
