    Current standard of WRC drivers 2014 season

    Might this be a topic so we could discuss every drivers current performance in every event this year?

    Starting with Mikko:

    Next event will be crucial for him.

    Mikkelsen:

    Must show some more fighting spirit in Sweden not to be seen as a happy paid driver at VW, as someone mentioned in Mikko thread.

    Good idea for separate thread, not spamming all others

    Well, Hanninen was also mentioned in the Hirvonen-topic, so let´s see what he´s up to in RS. It´s about time he´ll show some good performance and that we shouldn´t be happy with a 10th place...

    Hyundai:
    After Monte there might be team orders from Hyundai: Bring car safely to finish!

    Ford:
    Mikko must lead Sweden after 1 complete day, he has so good starting place!

    Some of you may disagree with me but I found Mikko's and Mads' drivingstyle very similar. It'll be interresting to see how Mads will cope with Citroen knowing that Mikko struggled with it very much last year.

    Rally Sweden has superrally or whateverthefuck it is novadays so Huyndai will get milege even they have little offs.

    I was surprised of Meeke and Kubica based on their Monte performance. Especially Meeke did a very good job and both guys brought important points for the team.

    Mads has said the Ford and Citroen are completely different to set up, and to drive, and that he is changing his style to suite the car, and to learn from experience within the team.

    He said he had learned a lot from the testing prior to and driving Monte.

    But he must be fighting in the top in Sweden.

    Mikkelsens pace today is underestimated. He could make a podiumfinish in Sweden but many competitors are candidates for that podium. Tidemand makes two testing days right in this moment and we all know what it means to have tests just before an event.

    I think Tidemand is even faster than Mikkelsen so let´s see if AM will reach his dream...
