While I agree that for some reason Tommi does not rate Mikkelsen high, I think it's just about impossible that Citroen didn't sign Mikkelsen without signing Ogier already.
The only option would be that Mikkelsen got more money from Hyundai but I don't think that's likely.
Or having driven the Citroen, Mikelssen would rather sign with Hyundai.
Seems like a gamble for Ogier.. leaving a car he can win with for one which is, err, sub-optimal at best.
True lower down, but a manuf couldn't homologate a World Rally Car or Rally1 without also entering the manufs championship. That got some manufs doing a season or two just for the paper stamp, Skoda,...

Another great time by Armstrong on SS9, only Master Kopecky was faster, and strengthening his 2nd place.
