Ott Tänak - Future champion?

[Rallyest]

Listened to the interview with Tänak by Jaan Martinson, it draws a so good picture how Ott communicates with what interviews, With dirtfish or with Delfi he is a different person. With Martinson everything is forced and ironic, but with dirtfish he answers more freely and honest

Yeah, I don't know what's the thing between Ott vs Martinson. I already just get chills from pressing the play button because I know what's coming.

Just to point out that Martinson works for Delfi

My wording was a little bit confusing, i meant with Delfi/Martinson he is different when talking with any reporter from dirtfish

Got it! Yes indeed, with Martinson he just gives random answers and it's clear to see how difficult it is for him to stay professional and I don't blame him. Martinson is a tool!

I wouldn't say Delfi, I'd say Martinson specifically, because his interviews with Peep Pahv are always better. I've actually stopped looking Martinson's interviews and every time I see It's Martinson who's attending the rally, I feel dissapointed. Ott and him obviously don't have a good relationship and I think it comes down to the questions Martinson asks. They are 90% of the time completely pointless. Asking about emotions, like "How are you feeling?", "Are you afraid that X will do Y...", "Can you beat X?", etc. Ott doesn't do emotions, he clearly hates these type of questions. I'd call them low effort questions.

If you look at Ott's interviews with Molly at the stage ends, it always depends on what she asks. If she asks about technical question, Ott gives proper answers, but when she asks "How was it/how are you feeling" or any other question of that type, especially after a bad stage, you can clearly see the annoyance in his face and that's when the sarcasm leaks out.

Low effort questions = low effort answers, simple as that.

That's why Kalev Kruus has nailed every single Betsafe year-end interview he's done with Ott. He asks detailed questions, questions that took some effort to come up with.

I would disagree. One example is "where did the puncture happen", meaning how long he had to go with that, and the answer was "what do you think, in the stage!".

Yep, he is always a bit of a jerk when talking to Molly, no idea why.

He's not at Raikkonen level yet.

He seems to be a bit of a jerk when talking to anyone really.
