    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.
    you are trying to find the worst result of other drivers,to show Mikkelsen ''ok''
    He is not ok.

    Either it's a valid argument and then it's valid vs everyone or it's just stupid. My take is the second part, as written in the post.

    It's probably the expectations that Mikkelsen gained with his last drive at VW and all his 'fighting back to WRC' social-media stuff in 2017. This meant we all thought he'd be on the pace once he got the factory drive.

    Last season even the shared car combo of Sordo-Paddon outscored him, not just Neuville.

    And this season he is still mostly struggling with the car despite all the experience he now has with it. And here Loeb totally embarrassed him.

    Simply not good enough.

    So his performance is ok comparing to Loeb.

    Other points:
    - why don't they have ski goggles on car? This does hapen from time to time and at least for Sweden, sone crews do have them

    - In quite a few european countries he would probably be stopped by Police for driving without windscreen on road section, here he wasn't.
    "All it cost him is 3 driver points, which in his position are rather pointless anyway"

    Are you serious? Next year it is probably one of either Meeke or Latvala out of Toyota. Those 3 points could potentially cost him a job next year. Fair reason to be pissed, I think.

    His performance is this rally is not ok comparing to Loeb. His performance this season is ok, comparing to both Loeb and Sordo.

    Re-post manu points:
    Hyundai
    Mikkelsen 36 /5 = 7,2 points/rally
    Loeb 27/4 = 6,75 points/rally
    Sordo 20 /3 = 6,67 points/rally

    This year he was the only driver bare the top 3 fighting on podium in every rally he started, and he was also never the slowest Hyundai.... both until Chile.

    I agree that what he did on this rally is totally not good enough, but I find it strange that people that watch every rally here don't seem to remember more than results of the last rally.
