We have got used to seeing old/family film of tennis and golf champions etc playing the sport from an age when they could barely hold the implements of their trade and circuit racers have always had karting however Kalle is the rallying example of "start 'em young". Yes he has been fast tracked in a way to the best team in the WRC however the way he has conducted himself and how he has dominated events at times is the sign of a true champion. Will be interesting to see how long the fire burns for rallying or if other opportunities/distractions come along however until then its hard to see how he wont dominate for years to come.

That story on changes Kalle made to his pace-noting reminds me of the old debate on "numbers vs description". The difference it can make can change a whole career.
Nicky Grist spoke candidly of the changes he and Colin made when they paired-up. Juha Kankkunen, too, had done the same earlier. Only he had to change the language too!!!!

I can't quite recall the YouTube video Nicky Grist was on discussing the change, but the story in that Press Reader website captured some of the content.
Juha, on the other hand, felt the descriptions in English, when compared with his native language, contained fewer words while conveying the same content. Something he felt was an advantage on mouthy stages.
