But in Addition SS9 and SS10 it was no advantage, so wrong choice.

yeah, the tyre choice for Mikkelsen was brilliant

from ss9

Driver has better car, he is better driver, his tyre choice is better, he has more commitment, he knows the road better.

Difficult to say, perhaps in some cases.

Probably it was VW strategy to have cars on different tires.

Mikkelsen: Of course we had the best tyres on this one. It looks like we gained some time back on that downhill section - I really pushed. Overall I'm not sure it was the right choice

imho was a choice which gained time from Ogier,considering both stages (9 & 10)

after 2 stage today:1 Ogier 2 Meeke +20 3 Mikkelsen +29 4 Latvalla +35

Mikkelsen gained time on Neuville and Latvala, both stages together, but not compared to Ogier and Meeke.
