Thank you for sharing. As I don't understand Finnish, then I have some questions for you which I hope you can clarify. Does this difficult mean demanding or stubborn? One being like "get this sh*t done" and other rather like "my way or no way". And what does this expression "with larger letters" mean? Haven't hear this one before. Like shouting?

Yeah I might have translated badly...difficult means a personality character, as in stubborn or not good at negotiating and co-operating.
Larger letters means higher volume, but I think Lampi said that it was only larger letters, not capital letters, so not total shouting. I think he said he used to have similar sessions with Mäkinen as well when Mäkinen was still driving.

Yes, I've heard similar stories so no real surprise but still great to hear it from elsewhere as well.

Just saw his interview with his sponsor betsafe: https://youtu.be/FtVEwxlp5_8
To me he looks pretty tired and deflated ahead of the new season and from what he’s saying, they still have a lot of work to be done before the car starts being competitive this year on all surfaces.Only you know your true potential.
This year we rally #ForCraig

I see that there is no sponsorship between him and Dirtfish anymore. Well... This is not surprise. But now it seems, that Dirtfish is totally ignoring him. Some bad blood between them?

Tänak is very straightforwarded person. No diplomacy sometimes at all.
When he got fired from Syrius ages ago, rumors were, that team owners wanted him to learn russian, but he instead sent them to sh*g their mothers.
Just rumours, but speaks a lot.
I remember 2003 in Finland, when Markko Märtin was in course to win the rally, we, some Estonian fans, rushed to him to get autographs before some SS in the forest and, seeing us, he ordered security guys in the start to stop us. And that was not a restricted area.
Difficult persons both.Last edited by linni; 16th February 2022 at 09:48.

First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
