If google translate is correct, Mikkelsen had negotiations with Tommi Mäkinen last week, but he wouldn't join the team before 2018.
As Mikkelsen, I'd be happy with this, try to focus on preparing for all events next season by doing the recces and driving the WRC2 events and maybe even testing a bit. Maybe he could even get a fourth car seat in one rally?
It's surely not bad the way it looks for him now, yet I could imagine that his inexperience in the new cars will be a remarkable disadvantage next year. If he is going to join Toyota (or any other team) next year it'd be good for him to sign the contract asap so he can at least do a lot of testing and development work with the car he'll be driving next year beside competing in WRC2 this year.Quote:

Ogier is not in market anymore
you portuguese guys seem to be very confident here regarding where Mikkelsen goes and where Ogier is or not.
Yes, but only saying vague, criptic things isn't helping at all.Quote:

No-one in any media is aware of Ogier's future and they speculate that he could go to another team in 2018 (hence why Mikkelsen isnt being snapped up). Tell us what you've heard or stop these pointless posts.Quote:
