2022 WRC News & Rumours

[mknight]

Lol..

Total of massive THREE wins thru all the years.. (2 of them thanks to Ogier's off and Tänak's puncture)

2016 rally wins (note 2 day cleaning for championship leaders):

Ogier 6 (1st on the road whole year)
Mikkelsen 2 ( 2nd almost whole year)
Meeke 2 (one of last cars om both)
JML, Neuville, Paddon 1

Tanak to get one of the unluckiest punctures in human history in Poland 2016...

You sure it wasn't unluckiest puncture in the whole universe?

Does Mikkelsens snowbank excursion on last stage of Sweden 2015 while leading count as unluckiest in all universes then?

Mikkelsens driveshaft failure (mechanic-induced) while leading Turkey 2018 by 40s is out of this world definitely.

..or more like, it's rally, shit happens.

And btw his speed in Rally2 hasn't been overwhelming. He beats the oppostion by experience but has had good resistance and by the looks of last year Lappi destroyed him and look how he is still struggling in Rally 1 and he has the best car in his hands.

Lappi beat him in one rally, single, uno, 1, ein...

This year a fast snow rally like that one has been his so far only decent result.
Impossible to conclude how either of them would do on any different rally based on single result. With regards to the car, note that Lappi also struggled with the dominating 2018 Toyota.

Mikkelsen has highly positive score in Rally2 vs Sordo, Breen, Suninen, Fourmaux and Solberg from the last few years. But yes since mid last year he no longer tries to dominate but instead just controls a win.
Ogier has won his 5 last titles "by experience", rather than by dominating, or maybe he won them cause he didn't try to dominate.
