Maybe a condition of the personal backing that Oliver has means that he has to be everywhere on social media with too many distractions however Kalle has managed to fit in a bit of drifting etc and just seems to be getting on with the job calmly. Will be intersting to see if he has many more outings in the R1 car after Ypres at this rate.

I think Harri has always stayed in the background and only made things possible for Kalle, not giving advice or making decisions unless being asked

But what I saw this was very scary ride, that kind of driving will not go til the finishline without a major accident, no way....

And this is on stages without the big yumps !

Strange red flag situation...

Stage cancelled.

What is going on? Spectator in need of medical help?

Anybody else would have been swiftly dismissed; he's not ready for R1 cars just yet. The talent is there, but needs developing, in his own time - and he needs to be a little more humble.

For a second there I thought Kalle had a problem.

There was a text before the stage that the stage was delayed by 5 min. Maybe Kalle was sent accidentally too early ?

That’s disappointing, the longest stage of the rally cancelled.

Seems like they couldnt control the spectators.
