[WRC] Rally Finland 2022

Unlucky Tänak again.. raining heavier

E: did a good stage tho, only 4.3 down on Evans

Tänak: ,,the conditions are actually not that bad, but.. this thing is a nightmare to drive!''

Such an awesome stage!

Of course it started to rain heavier exactly before Ott at our place

But the problem is the car, wil lose the leads for sure today if it doesnt t get better

If you lose 10s you don't get it back at this level at these speeds, only others can lose it too. He's 0.3s/km behind a 0-fucks Tanak and then 3 infallible Toyotas driven by two former winners and the champion in waiting. Craig is hardly struggling whilst being under the biggest pressure to bring it home. If he finishes on +0.3s/k it'll be his second best result of the season after Sardinia so at these speeds I wouldn't be surprised if he's asked to curb his enthusiasm tbh. Still another day tomorrow, long way to go and all that.

Yeah, that’s what I want to say, those 10 seconds are lost, no point in fighting to get them back, just need to continue at his pace.

Tanak is really on a "win it or bin it" mission I think. You can see on the onboard footage that the car is really snappy. Compared to the Toyota's were the oversteer is very gentle, it's a huge difference and the car does look like handfull. Respect to Ott for getting these times out of the car!

Breen has hit something and broken rear of the car, retires.

Breen had a massive hit to the right side and rally over

Ott & Esapekka better watch out, Kalle coming in fast.

Nightmare year for Ford.
