I thought Kalle was being run by M-Sport hence switch from Skoda to Ford?
Anyway, I don't see any reason to panic. The boy is 17 and I guess this is his first proper rally outside Latvia..

Did you guys expect him to take a class win or something on his first WRC2 event? He's got to rack up the experience. No point in pushing too hard.

I'm a bit surprised by the low number of retirements/Rally2 so far. Only Breen got stuck in a ditch and Østberg had his technical problems, still 11 WRC2017 cars running without major issues.

No reason to panic with Kalle. This is just the difference between top level and national level.
At Latvia Kalle was driving as a home event, he has been driven there more than Finnish roads. Pontus was there at his first time and the target was just getting familiar with the conditions for the Rally Poland, not driving against Kalle.
I guess this year has opened the eyes of Kalle to see this sport in completely different angle. In Italy (CIR) he noticed the challenge of the tarmac and this experience in Wales is a good lesson also. Now he definitely knows the level and he knows that it needs a lot of work to get to the top.
During the next three to four years we will see the results if he is the young talented driver which almost everyone thinks he is.
