Some context for this.

Conditions were "quite demanding" because of storm. Example: https://twitter.com/paddocknews/stat...63286712811694

Ken Torn provided a bit of overnight thinking for Tänak, as Torn won 2 first stages. Tänak then took 6 stage wins and got some lead, Torn won last 4 stages and Tänak won overall 9.2sec. So it was not easy job.

Virves got some side-effect as co-driver, as got sick (just feeling bad, whatever is correct term in english for that) when did not watch outside.

Motion sickness.

M-Sport's lack of budget this year is probably the reason why they had to spend what they had developing the Fiesta Rally2. This is a car they can actually sell, unlike the Puma.

Well sad to see that the Puma didnt get as much development as it maybe should, but i think it was and is the right decision to upgrade theyr rally2 car first, since it is the place that bring them money to help develop the next car and current car, hope they can bounce back. But in my opinion seeing all that it was the only and right choice to leave Ford for Hyundai, since Puma will keep falling behind more and more with every rally.

as his big fan ill say its really embarassing season beginning, 0 podiums out of two events and two driving mistake or too optimistic note mistakes

His biggest rival and teammate having a win and many stage wins, part time teammate having also win and more stage wins than him, even Formaux having a podium out of two events while he has none.

If he fails also in Kenya then he is in big trouble

Meh

I think that problem is he, not all the cars he drove. He needs to sort that out. We need that. Sport need that. Otherwise we will all consider that Adrien and Lappi should be contenders for this year title mix.

EstWRC, Im worried that his car will break up in Kenya - its not Toyota and to be honest, his driving style isn't so gentle to the car (same as Neuville) .. they are not like Ogier for example

of course it was him, not the car. whats good to take is that he actually hasnt complained about the car.

what was really weird this week about speed wise, on many stages he did a really impressive first split but then as the stage went on, he went backwards and didnt gain or actually lost all of the time, he didnt progress like others.

Ive noticed this also with previous Hyundai stints.
