"The same Finnish driver is enthusiastic about these experiences on rally cars, as he himself states:
"It's really fun. When I tested the Yaris it was great, driving such a powerful car on the tarmac is incredible, especially for me coming from the track. At the end of that day, I was in line with the times of Kris Meeke, who had tested a few hours before me.
A day of testing in rallies is more fun and less stressful than a Formula 1 weekend. There is no pressure that grips you, neither internal nor external."
Soon we will know the future of Valterri, which is still in the balance, given that we play the Mercedes seat with Ocon. In case of goodbye to the silver arrow, the doors of the Rally could open…. "
This. I also remember Rally Finland shakedown 2018 and seeing Rovanperä and thinking "wow he's careful on the first pass" and it was the fastest time.
It's a different thing to watch a testing video and say "wow that looks great/spectacular/enjoyable" or "wow that car will be faster than the others"
