Please Mikko, something different this time!! (an open letter)

Let the best win.

Wow! At least no one holds a grudge around here for very long.

The interesting thing is that Mikko doesn't need to do anything different to be a successful driver. Okay, he hasn't won a title (yet?), but he is often in the hunt. Had he kept on with his "cruise and collect" mode in Rally GB last year, he would be a world champion now. Also current Portugese rally shows that even if everyone goes off, Mikko is always a safe bet to carry on.

This is one of the best chances for Hirvonen to win the rally(Vodafone Portugal)and to take the head of the championship ;)
GO MIKKO GO !!! :bounce:

Your text shows why Mikko is the perfect No.2 driver. Maybe he will get a chance at the title next year if Loeb retires though?

True but only Loeb and Latvala are the current drivers that I would put for no. 1 before him. And in the current form Mikko would be no. 1 before Latvala also.

Hirvonen cant be a champion with the new point scoring system

Why?

O do you mean the citroen points scoring system lol

I mean, with 10-8-6-5, cruising (his only manner of fighting) pays off sometimes, but with 25-18-15-12 differences become huge very quickly
