Interesting insights there from Lundefaret, but from Ola's perspective there must be the hurt he felt when he was summarily dropped in favour of Markkula. A long-term contract is what he deserves and VW may regret their approach. I don't see Hyundai asking Paddon to ditch Kennard any time soon!!
My opinion is, regardless of who is his co-driver, in an equal car Mikkelsen will always be 3rd behind the Champ and JML.
