I agree that he may be the least valuable of the current factory drivers (Loeb, JML, Mikko). But he's still waaay better than any of the other available options (Ostberg, Neuville, Tanak, etc)

but still, if ostberg would have been able to compete in monte-carlo and new zealand, he most likely would have been number 3 and first ford in the standings by some margin.
and this while he doesn't have a factory car nor the budget to allow him to test a lot or to permit many crashes.

in my view, ostberg deserves a seat in a factory team more than solberg or latvala.

Ostberg has finished top 5 on all rallies he competed in.

Which is part of the secret of his consistency he wasn't pushing to try to beat Loeb as a primary objective.
Yes he will get better with the ability to test but first he will need to prove he can beat the best when they aren't crashing. A win without the on-road winner being disqualified is the first proof required.
In equal machinery I believe Mads will be quicker than Petter but still behind JML, certainly on tarmac for the next season (or never if he has Mikko's mental block)

I think Petter is much quicker than Mads on every surface except snow. There is nothing to suggest otherwise. In terms of consistency Mads is 100x better, and is therefore perhaps better placed to challenge for a title, however on pace alone Petter has and should continue to hugely overshadow Mads for a year or so still.

Well if they both end up at M Sport then we shall see what a level playing field does ;)
