First, is there anyone? Novikov in 2009? Östberg in 2007? Latvala in God knows when? But why we need to find a young driver in WRC faster than Mikkelsen?

What I've been trying to tell, he is now fast and consistent enough to win rallies and most likely tomorrow take the IRC title. Overall classifications, not age-grouped juniors. When Mikkelsen started however, he wasn't winning rallies and was - and is - on a learning curve for few years - and of course his current pace in WRC machinery is a mystery.

that there are not a lot of drivers with his chances at so young age we can t say that he wasn t fast out of box.
