    Of course at future plenty changed.
    how was it true? did we have a timed test stage for all the cars? Was there so dramatic differences in Monte? Which car was leading the championship after Sweden?

    "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.

    really? i find it hard to believe after seein him with the Ford and all the other test vids with him. He is clearly overdriving

    I don't get the comparison vs. Meeke. Bottas has never driven the Yaris on tarmac?

    That's gone completely under the radar.

    It`s not your average Yaris/Fiesta you use to get from lace A to B. Even there there are differences to get used to, not to mention the difference between rallycars.

    that is because the c3 was mindblowingly fast. in testing at least, when they had the setup absolutely right and knew the road.

    Which is pretty much same situation as here...and people assume Suninen wil be fast in the rally based on that.

    I had to use translator for that site and I didn't get that impression. Originally those comments are from crash.net and the article was about testing with Toyota. There is comments like “That was quite encouraging for a first day in gravel.” So it was before Rally Finland.

    https://www.crash.net/f1/news/927462...ota-rally-test

    Rallyssimos text is just overlook of Bottas with WRC-cars this summer.
