first off, i have nothing against mads...he does add to the whole wrc experience and number of overall drivers in this category...and for sure ALL of those drivers have great ability and risk their lives in this sport.

however, its all relative to the criteria used to answer the question

over the last few events 2015/2016, i'd have to say he's generally slower compared to ogier, jari, meeke, mikkelsen, tanak, dani, paddon even the crash prone kubica and neuville,,and even somewhat to the newer player breen (early days yet)

now if i generally compare him to prokop, qassimi and some of the newer drivers, abbring, lefebvre, bertelli, camilli (early days still), then he appears faster

for the length of time mads has been in wrc, it seems fair that viewers/fans expect more from him

like many others, i suppose he has reach his peak and maybe that's ok as a 2nd driver pursueing manufacturer points, but not so ok for WDC pursuit
