I just listened to the WRC Backstories podcast with Mikkelsen.
Interesting to hear the reason he struggled to drive the i20 WRC was due to his driving style which he said he learned from Ogier (who learned it from Loeb). He couldn't trail-brake into corners, only in a straight line, and didnt want to change his style.
I wonder what the current i20 Rally1 would be like and if it's the same (as its still for Neuville) ? If so it could mean Mikkelsen would struggle there again if he ever got a chance.

Interesting. Loeb and Ogier don't trail brake? Anyone noticed that or got some insight?

They don't give a shhhirt. They win titles.
Although I am a fan of Tanak.. I still respect Loeb's attitude.. that he sets his style to the car and not the other way and moan about the bad car.
Okay, he(Loeb) couldn't find his pace w Hyundai.. but it is another 10y old story with certain driver.
It will be really interesting to see, what Abiteboul will achieve. Adamo was same style, but suddenly retired.

Oh it's the other way round, Mikkelsen claimed that he, Ogier and Loeb trail brake and the i20 didn't work with trail braking. Makes much more sense considering Neuville constantly adjusted the car on entry with the handbrake.
