To offer such deal - especially in M-Sport's case - to a driver who has zero rallies in a Rally1 car and hasn't driven in WRC's top class for three years doesn't sound like a smart move.
Do you really think a driver with Mikkelsens experience and routine cant drive the rally1 proper? Its not a moonrocket...
