kubica isn't worth a WRC seat, he did well in the junior formula, but not quite got the edge against the best. Just stopping someone else getting a drive.

So what team is AM going to be driving for to become the next non-Seb WDC?
I say that because at VW despite his problems JML is still a better package across the board than Mikkelsen. (Before NOT starts complaining about using driver initials Jari-Matti now includes 'JML' on his autograph.)
I see parallels between Mikkelsen and Hirvonen with the difference being that Mikko only had Marcus ahead of him in the pecking order at Ford and it is arguable that team leader came 1 or 2 years too late for him. By the time Mikkelsen is trusted to be the top gun somewhere either some new young pistolero will have come along or they may all just have to wait for Seb O to get his Loeb-eclipsing number of championships.
