I don't think you are right here. I think Andreas is different caliber driver compared to Mads.

Totally agree. Ostberg will never outdo Mikkelsen. I dont think we will see Ostberg on top of the podium again. Mikkelsen on the other hand, im sure he will fight for the championship along with Neuville and Ogier next season.

Sure he will. He's been so close snatching that title in previous years.

But not as close as Ostberg... You know, the guy that is just as good as Mikkelsen c'mon

The same guy, yes. Too bad he didn't have a Polo.

But he had a Citroën which was more than capable of taking podiums.

A Citroen in which he finished 4th in the WDC 2015, highest placed non-VW driver.

Mikkelsen a free-agent after Rally Germany:

Mikkelsen is making his second consecutive gravel outing with Citroen in Poland this weekend, but he confirmed that the French firm had taken up an option for the German round of the series in August.

He will skip Rally Finland, where Kris Meeke returns alongside Craig Breen and Khalid Al-Qassimi, and will line up in a fourth C3 WRC alongside Meeke, Breen and Stephane Lefebvre in Germany.

“I’m really happy,” Mikkelsen told Motorsport.com. “We saw the speed this Citroen has on the asphalt stages in Corsica earlier this year and to have the chance to drive it in Germany is fantastic for me.

"We will have a good test in Germany before the rally, so it’s all good.”

That news has sparked further debate on a full-time Citroen deal for Mikkelsen, but the Norwegian’s manager Erik Veiby says no such agreement is in place and his driver would be free to drive for other teams after Germany.

Norway is a lucky country, although we are a small country. We have nature, oil, the best skiers and few immigrants. We have real Norwegians such as Petter Solberg (and soon Oliver), Andreas Mikkelsen, Mads Østbeg and now Ole Christian Veiby. A small country can mark up well so long as they originate from vikiningene and have the courage ;-)
