Andreas Mikkelsen

I said last year that I thought that if Mads had been in the Polo he would have appeared just as good as Andreas. This is going to be a wonderful Rally d'Italia to see how things work out.

You totally misunderstood me, read again my post

Ok, my bad. Sorry.

Just a bit tired of histerism about Mikkelsen

Hahaha, fantastic!


I think Andreas could do a good rally, if we take a look at last rallies, several drivers has been in the top before something happened so they dropped time.
If Andreas just drive "in the middle of the road" he can actually do a decent result because others don't finish without truble.

I dont think anyone is disputing Mikkelsen can get a good finishing position, as that depends as much on the others making mistakes or having car issues. he could well 'do a Breen' and bring in some good points.

But those saying he can challenge on pure speed in his first drive of a new, and new spec (2017) car, I dont think so ...

Amen.

Thank God the Italian round is just around the corner. All this "what Mikkelsen would do in a 2017-spec car" must have been one of the most ridiculous things seen in a long long time in WRC. I'd like to remind some forum members that it's Andreas Mikkelsen we're talking about. Not Sebastien Loeb. ANDREAS MIKKELSEN. And yes, I totally agree that had Östberg been given a Polo WRC for almost four full seasons, he would've outdo Mikkelsen, no doubt. And now when AM gets a C3 WRC (with a one day PET), some people are expecting him to challenge for victory... Ouch.

Mikkelsen is good and deserves a seat in WRC, don't get me wrong, but he's had quite many seasons to prove he's capable of winning events and how many times he did so in a car he knew really well?

[mmm]

Based on how amazing the Polo was in terms of suspension and how twitchy the C3 is, a reasonably possible scenario: He will be frustrated about not being able to comfortably challenge for top times, try to push it harder until the car bites back and finish the event in rally 2.
I think the chances of Mikkelsen taking it safe and driving Breen pace are quite low.
