Was more about the timing.
Meeke 2019 - Sunday before PS, nothing to fight for, completely unnecessary and in a Toyota

Pretty much perfect match with Lappi today

What a stupid mistake by Lappi, just made his 2023 seat prospect much more difficult for himself.

A leaking radiator can damage the engine. I thought Evans had the same problem in Sardegna early on and they retired the car to salvage the engine

it.motorsport.com reporting that Lappi used water from a nearby lake to fill the leaked coolant .... :eek:

I told you so already yesterday in response to the drivers situation with M-Sport

Meeke was even in super rally. Luckily Lappi had still Evans behind so team points were not affected.

Just look at the standings on this rally and season overall. Huge gaps, M-Sport guys have their own championship in their own dimension.

Yes I'm aware their situation is (mostly) due to Rovanperä & Ogier being in the car, but we were talking about M-Sport yesterday and still they're (Toyota) out in front in both championships. No doubt their car is better, however they still have all their drivers (apart from Lappi) in the top 5, whilst Breen is the highest running Puma driver in 6th. Side-note, luckily for them Hyundai have shot their own legs with their car this year.

Drivers situation in Toyota is completely different cause they have two drivers that fight for win in every rally. 3rd guy doesn't really matter when they are leading the championship easily anyway (but it mattered in 2020).

But it's a bit unclear what sort of instructions Lappi has? Backup the other drivers and secure points or go for best result? He acts like the second one, but doesn't have the last tiny bit of speed/consistency and mistakes come. Starting to remind of Meeke in whole 2019 season.

What I can see happening next year if he keeps going like this is that Toyota nominates Katsuta on at least the rounds Ogier doesn't do or even on all (with Ogier in 4th car).

www.rallye-magazin.de has already a very fine collection of WRC Finland 2022 videos (although that regional rally rolling over same stages is technically speaking not WRC)
