Lappi doesn't have pressure from the team cause he is paying himself and not the team paying him and he has no clear WRC2 title goal, just to get a drive.Quote:

Nice defensive speeches. You could be good lawyer
Lappi dont spent his money just to drive,he spents them to gain a wrc seat.So there is pressure.Quote:

WRC3 leader Kajto slid off the road near the end of the last stage. There was no damage to the car, but without any spactators at this place he couldn't get back on the road. Kajto is going to re-start the rally tomorrow, but his good result is already wasted.
Also Lindholm retired on SS6, but I don't know what happened.
Yohan Rossel is the new leader in WRC3.

Leading to certain conflict of interest, might be even more profound on Safari when just cruising automatically means 2nd place.
Well it's kinda very poor sign then when Mikkelsen is cracking under Toksport manager's pressure. That's a really bad for the big team bosses eyes... And here as wellQuote:

A name that hasn't been mentioned yet, but deserves a lot of credit IMO: Yohan Rossel.
Great drive, 1st in WRC3 and not far from Huttunen and Ostberg.
Doing a lot better than Ingram...
In case you haven't been following, the reason to post the list of "pressure" areas ( one of which is likely those paying him (Skoda)) was a response to the post claiming he was under no pressure at all, which is simply wrong.Quote:

But there is quite a bit of a difference between peoples opinions or stating facts and writing things that are simply not true. I don't see why some people feel the need to "spice" the arguments with those, often seemingly on purpose to "prove their point".
Then the next level when proven wrong on lies is to go to personal attacks and direct trolling, some seem to enjoy to that as well.
