    Interesting , would M-Sport use the same car for Paddon in Finland that Märtin has rented for Rally Estonia ?

    Thanks for that. It got me thinking that, in my opinion, Paddon's prime target for Rally Finland shouldn't necessarily be a top five finish, but to outpace Evans (& Suninen). I believe he can! Discuss.

    If he does, the one way or another it would just confirm his capacity. But I wouldn´t count on it. Not both.

    Anyway, we know his capacity.

    I don't think he can match Suninen here, but lets see.

    In case of any thoughts Paddon has of "proving Adamo wrong" by beating Breen...

    It must be remembered that Breen is there to provide solid 3rd car points should anything happen to Hyundai's 1 & 2. He wont be free to fly and fight for a top position.

    Paddon would have to beat some regular WRC drivers to re-show his quality in Finland.

    Suninen for sure can be top3 fast. Evans was last year too. It'll be difficult for Paddon to outpace them, no WRC drive several month, new car for him, etc.

    Anything worse than 5th place (or pace around it) would be a big disappointment from Paddon after he was 4th in "worse" car last year.

    That said we don't know how fast Fiesta will be relative to the others, judging by Sweden it should be fast.

    I also don't think Paddon is likely going to beat Suninen, but Evans should be possible.

    Same as people here as well as C. Clark this is no direct competition between Paddon and Breen.
    Paddon has to show he still has speed/has it in other car than i20.
    Breen has to secure good teampoints or act as a reliable backup for the others if he is slower.

    Personally I think there are far too many unknowns going into Finland to make many predictions or he should do this or that’s.
    Beyond Tanak likely being fastest, I’m honestly not sure I could say anything with any confidence as to who will be next up....you can kind of make a case for pretty much everybody else to be fast if you want.

    That's a fair point, but for the record, I think Breen will have an absolute corker.
