He's got the strongest character of all the current drivers, almost to the point of looking apathetic, but I love everything about it. When I went to the service park in Argentina, Latvala came out all smiles and waving at the crowd, signing autographs and stuff almost immediately. Kris turned round, gave a single wave with his lips tucked inwards, like he usually does, and went straight to give Tommi feedback. Love it.

He is getting shit on by the FIA.. who waited 2 days to apply a penalty to maximise the damaged to his overall position. Like they did in Argentina. A small fine of a caution would have been plenty.. on the ground of driver safety, especially when he was stuck in the control and the stage delayed by 8 mins. Still.. the promoter and FIA is more than happy to benefit from the exposure of Meeke almost setting the fastest time on the next stage with no windscreen.
Long rule Meeke... one of a kind.

The rules are the rules but the punishment of a 1m time penalty doesnt fit the crime. A warning or fine would've been appropriate.

"I said: 'No, we can't do the stage. We retire'." ... isn't that bullshit as well?

Yes this rally was very poor from him.
You know how many drivers have had a poor rally (speedwise, not even talking about crashes) since start of the season? All except the top 3. Some like Loeb, Lappi and Suninen have had multiple. Yet for some reason Mikkelsen always gets a lot of focus. Might be because the difference between good and bad rally is often so huge with him.
While the first part of your post is perfectly correct the last sentence is either misspelled ("was on this rally" would be entirely true) or just an attempt at trolling.
Cause using the same argumentation you can say that Mikkelsen actually beat Ogier for 2nd in Argentina unlike Loeb here and he was also fighting for 2nd in Sweden and losing it while Loeb was last WRC at the same rally. Both of these arguments are retarded one sentence trolling.

Well Prokop surely can tell about "appropriate" punishment when he got excluded in Argentina some years back.

For me penalty for Meeke is ok, he was working on car under parc ferme rule. The biggest problem is that decision was made sooooo late. Together with fail with notional times (again copying results from first or second loop, despite they didnt do the stage) another good job of stewards.

Good to see him back in a Skoda, his Octavia WRC days jumped to my mind immediately :D
