    i guess the question why Mikkelsen doesn´t promt adapt to asphaltrallies in a Rally1 car is a bit more complicated than deciding quality of milk...
    Your call.

    The point is: don't ask critics to drive Rally1 car before they can say their opinion.

    If you say your opinion you have to be sure it doesn´t look ridiculously.

    I´d rather seen Ostberg or Loeb quoting that, than some guy not having the whole picture.

    If someone's opinion is ridiculous, the only person humiliated by that is the person who put forward such funny opinion. Why should it bother you, having something to smile about?

    I can smile. And did.

    But Mikkelsen should be treated after what he does, not from subjective understanding. That means you have to be honest. I was remarking that.

    i don't have to be a pilot to know something is wrong when i see a helicopter hanging upside down in a tree.

    i don't have to be a world champion to see whether a driver is doing good or not.

    Of course not. But you need to have the whole picture, which I´m very certain most of us guys don´t have. With some exceptions. But they are few.

    No one has whole picture, even Mikkelsen. And it's not courtroom, opinion that Mikkelsen's driving is disappointing so far isn't as ridiculous as you painted it.

    Well, I disagree.

    Let´s judge from what he achieves in the end of the rally. Let´s talk then.

    Let´s go back to the rally itself.
