He still makes odd mistake here and there, but it's less frequently.

he was fast at gravel ,snow even at 16 years old with a wrc car at rallies with good competition.At tarmac he wasn t at the same level,but i straggle to find a faster one, at his age with a wrc.Can you find a faster?

About struggling to find a faster one with a wrc at that age is very difficult because only a few a very few got his chances at that age. :D No superrally for Neuville all for Golden Stage!

Don't forget Juho for the golden stage, or Nasser!

I was thinking about Juho's accident and what makes this so stupid is that he didn't even need to go flat out and win this one to take the title.

Like Mousti mentioned it's hard to find another young driver to compare to as there propably aren't any. Yes, Mikkelsen did score some good times in 2007, but still he's overall performance was only a scratch on a surface as compared to today.
