Arguments?

Which arguments do you have to put Mikkelsen "at least" on the level of Neuville? He's been driving for longer than both Neuville and Tänak, and what has he achieved? Won 3 times with Polo WRC. Once very lucky when Ogier crashed on powerstage, once very lucky when Tänak punctured on the penultimate stage, and one well-deserved win in Australia. 3 wins during 7 seasons competing with the very best cars available. Neuville has won a lot more events, beating his rivals by actually being faster... Maybe he hasn't been as consistent as Tänak last year, or as Ogier before, but in all last 3 seasons he scored nearly as much (or even more) than all his teammates combined...

No need to promote Mikkelsen, he's nowhere near the level of the current top 3. And after so many years, I don't see any reason why that could suddenly change.
