    He was entered in Skoda by his employer. Doesn't compare with what Mikkelsen is facing now.

    Actually AFAIR was his choice to drive, not obligation by VW.

    A WRC return? It come on the back of this if there is a positive outcome.

    They drove to train the mechanics, sort out the logistics and keep the drivers warm. So definitely an obligation by VW.

    I thought all this was the collateral duties because Ogier wanted to drive, but I might be wrong. Never too late to learn something if true.

    At least I admit that I might be wrong, not claiming something is 100% true.

    Well given Lefebvres performance and probably also Hänninens, I imagine he can be pretty sure too.

    This.
    Guys Mikkelsen is not being arrogant at media. He is not saying he SHOULD be in a car but he is saying that he is now a professional driver and doesn't want to pay (a hige amount of money) to drive.
    That's not being prima donna imo and Ogier's case is totally different. he had an agreement with VW that was building a car around him.
