What a blast of a rally. I was almost falling off the chair!
How long has it been since we saw Mads drive like he has this weekend? Great to see him in such good form (with the jokes as well as the driving). Nice to see Latvala with some mojo back too and no mechanical bad luck for a change.
Best drive of his career so far for Ott? He just keeps getting better.
Solid performance from Paddon too in a car that has never done very well in Finland, not quite the podium he wanted but he was the best Hyundai driver all weekend.
Good to have an exciting powerstage as well, really enjoyed watching that.
Manu battle also gets interesting with Toyota same as Msport.
I rate Toyota higher for rest of season due to 3 good drivers and Msport chasing drivers title.
Both Hyundai and Toyota have rallies where they did bad last year (Catalunya for Hyundai and GB for Toyota) and then there is the uknown of Turkey. Will be interesting.

Was out painting the house, and missed out on Mads' powerstage by a few minutes, but saw the last part of Tanak. He managed to snap the PS by 0,5 sec, to end a perfect weekend.
But man of the rally is for me Mads and Torstein!
What a comeback from Mads. He has not been on the podium since Mexico in March 2016.
Also congrats to Citroen Sport, that showed that they are back as a potential winner, at least on gravel. The new front suspension did the trick!
Have a nice celebration!
Fantastic job by both Tänak, but also by Mads & Torstein and citröen!
It's easy to see that all the drivers in the WRC is good drivers, and all of them need to have a car that work for them to deliver good results!

Very good outcome of this rally. Big congrats to all podium drivers. The revival of Ruuhimäki PS and revised ending really paid off for organizer. Best PS so far this year according to swedish reporters Jonas Kruse and Stefan Klemetz
