Mikkselsen has seven years of experience in WRC. He was fast with VW Polo basicly on every rally.

That polo was completely dominant, yet Mikkelsen only won 3 rally's with it. Ogier won in that same period 31 rally's with the same car. Latavala won 9.
He was not fast with the polo. The polo was so fast it made him look fast too.

Mikkelsen has the same problem all the current scandiavian drivers have. They relied on money to buy experience to get good, instead of raw talent. That will get you close to the top, but when things go out of their comfort zone they lack the talent to adapt.

Look at ogier, look at loeb, look at tanak. They step into a new car with limited testing and they fight for the win immediately.
Look at latvala, mikkelsen, ostberg, lappi. They get into a new car and they are nowhere.

Jeezz, is this forum full of whining bitches?

Yes, Mikkelsen is not at his best, mostly because his car not suit him.
Get 2. in the citröen at tarmac in a jump in race.
Without talent? Hell yeah....

Money? Not since 2009.

He should swap team next season, but who exactly his he "taking seat" from?...

Who would want him?

Mikkelsen also blamed his poor pacenotes for his performance in Chile. Is this also acceptable from a pro-rally driver with his vast experience ?

He clearly has some talent but his professionalism and will-to-win seems questionable.

I have no knowledge regarding the first question, but what comes to Mikkelsen, he 1) obviously has enormous amount of talent (as does everyone at this level) and 2) Argentina aside, hasn't lately been able to achive the results to make sure he'd be a safe bet for a WRC seat also for next season.

As has been pointed out in this conversation, Mikkelsen's had bad luck in many rallies, but when a driver has had as many opportunities as him, eventually the fact of not having the results overwhelms all the possible root-causes behind that.
