    Suninen has good raw pace, no doubt about that. Time on PS in Monte was very good considering there was a battle ahead of him. Needs to be more consistent with that, and with 2 seasons in the Fiesta I don't think it's out of order to expect that from him. We shall see when we return to Europe what he can do but since his debut in 2017 in Poland & Finland his consistency has been quite underwhelming.

    That's spot-on. The pace has been there at times so proves he has 'got it' at this level. But this also leads to fans frustration when he doesnt show pace and especially when beaten by his team-mate.

    I wonder if its an issue with his mentality. He used to be very stern in interviews and hard on himself, but lately he seems a bit too laid back.

    Let’s put @RallySweden behind us and focus on the coming rallies. We will return to Europe after 15 weeks and during this time I aim to climb up in the championship standings. We need some top results now. #MSPORTERS

    I would say the oversteer is with the driving. But it's clear that the Fiestas have struggled in Rally Finland since 2018, and they struggled now in Sweden with untypically fast stages.

    After seeing Lappi's car burn Rich Millener looked visibly upset.

    Also mentioned the budget for rest of year, which would be devastating.

    Yeah. I heard that too. He talked honestly and spontanius in a kind of affection...

    Seems that no insurance after all. However looks stupid.

    How much does it cost to insure a WRC car per event?

    I remember last year when Paddon had his test crash someone mentioned that M-Sport's insurance system is vulnerable to fires.
