Has Andreas crossed his final flying finish? I was shocked last night to read in MN that Andreas Mikkelsen may not compete at all next season after his Father has said he is no longer willing to bankroll his son's career!
Ramsport were confident Mikkelsen would stay with the team despite having talks with PH Sport and SWRT, but it seems those talks as well as a lot of money in the three years previously are going to be of no use!
Surely someone of his talent would find a backer, or at least someone would pick him up? Would he be such a bad idea for Suzuki?

I think there is some talent there in Mikkelsen and I hope he does find a drive, Suzuki could pick him up or maybe the Adapta team with Ostberg

Or it might be an empty threat, just to see how far Andreas can go on his own. If he just scrapes short, hopefully his dad will go "Aye, go on, here's a couple hundred thousand Euros." But that's the naive optimistic me.

I wouldn't say it is an empty threat. When it comes to $, most people do not play around. Family member or not, $ is $; especially during these times of financial hardships. SWRT seems highly interested in him for the Adapta team; I'd say that we will see him in the 2009 season, one way or another. Maybe he will take Duval's empty spot if he does go to the IRC after all.
