    Time to join the long list of never beens.
    I'm sorry for him, but it's true... he'll probably be remembered as the biggest one of the never beens, 4 times 2nd in the championship final standings (even if only twice fighting for the title)

    Harsh words there but understandable. The last time I remember Wilson making such comments was about Tanak's performance and all the crashing in the middle of 2012.
    I would say it is bye bye for Mikko

    on a side note, was Malcom Wilson in Finland?

    Henning is already in WRX driving the Per Eklund Saab and taking over Liam Dooran's DS3 in Canada since he lost his license for yelling at marshals when his dad's Ford RS200 was burning up at Lydden Hill.

    I hate it for Mikko, but I think his time in WRC is running out. It's a shame, because he is more than capable of being a champion, but when you're competing against superhumans such as Loeb (and now Sebastien No.2), your progress is bound to be halted. I also agree with Malcolm, I don't think Mikko is really enjoying this anymore. I hope he can reach the top step of the podium soon.
