Oh Andreas. Surely he must realise how stupid he looks, admitting to something like this?

Mr Waiting For A Manufacturer Drive, one of the main development drivers of the new Fabia, copying the setup of the kid who couldn't cut it as a works driver in 2022 and hating it?

Literally every rally he does makes him look less and less worth a Rally1 seat... he'd have been better trying to claim he had a cold or something...

Rally1 train has left for him ages ago

I can't believe how stupid this comment is. Do you want even more good rally drivers to quit this sport and fill rally stages with rich talentless gentleman drivers who pay for their seat?

Again it is hilarious how the comments aimed at Mikkelsen are relative to other drivers. Have to wonder why.

To the fun points here:
-The kid who didn't cut it as works driver in 2022 (Solberg) did so because of crashing, not so much due to speed.

- Solberg, Greensmith, Gryazin etc. have by now far more stage kms in the new Fabia than Mikkelsen and some of them also test much more.

- on a bad rally he still got 4th and leads championship with less or equal starts than anyone else. On the rally before he led almost whole rally and was joint fastest on PS. Yet "every rally he does makes him look less worthy"...ok

- he gets paid by Skoda for WRC2 title chase, that the other Skoda drivers seem far from certain to get vs Rossel. But yeah "get a proper job". Now that we have established that rally isn't a proper job can we send Tanak to go drive a garbage truck? Or does the "proper job" apply selectively?

For once I agree...sort of.

thought you were joking at first but seems other take it seriously

not that Mikkelsen is a lost WDC but the only reason he's not in rally1 is a lack of cars...

Ffs, I wanted to edit a typo, but the whole post disappeared.

Taking it all together a bit shorter.
Again it is hilarious that you yet find another thing to defend the dominatinf driver.
Yes, he has got the wins, but he is not a dominating driver anymore!
He isn't driving for rally1 drive anymore.. otherwise he should have beaten all those ,,young noobsters'' by calendar.
More to that.. if he really tried Solberg's settings and failed with that.. Don't fk moan aboit it.

And about more stage kms.. cut the crap.
He was the main guy developing and testing the new Fabia.

More to that.. Pajari is beating him in stages and Lindholm has got a factory seat in wrc2 cae

Tänak may rather well be driving a garbage truck but he will be doing that with a WDC trophy. That's a whole different level to Mikkelsen who's instead of "dominating" on the subcategory gets driving lessons and to try to be on pace copies setups already, I smell desperation as anything.

But ok, he's a decent driver just his excuses are flat out hilarious by now.
