I'm afraid the criticism is justified as he seems to have stopped progressing like he was last season.
And Lappi is showing him up despite being new to the Fiesta.
Also a bit disappointed from Suninen. When he was driving the R5 (both Oreca Fiesta and Fabia) I thought he would become a big one, the first two outings with the Fiesta WRC were phenomenal, but after that... For some reason he didn't continue to progress. It's quite clear that this year he has to show something more and be more competitive, or it should be his last WRC season. Lappi's pace seems impressive, we don't know how fast the Fiesta really is at this point, and that makes it probably even more impressive. I'm an M-Sport fan, it's great what they keep doing in WRC, but the pace of Tänak and Evans they immediately had when moving to Toyota makes me wonder...

A happy birthday to this lad
I agree, I think the Fiesta has probably fallen a little bit behind, not much but a little, and with the budgets available to Hyundai/Toyota that’s not surprising, or even a criticism...it’s just reality. I hope that they can find something with the new engine that brings them back, but I think handling is where the biggest gains are to be made...the oversteer is making it unpredictable. With Suninen seemingly losing a bit of confidence, he needs the car to help him.
I hope good road position in Mexico can bring him near the front and help him.
I wouldn't expect much from Suninen in Mexico. That event requires a neat driving style because of the altitude eating the power. That said, Lappi hasn't been strong either in Mexico. I think it just requires experience, to learn how to drive those stages the right way.
