    can some finnish members make a better translation of this ? Mäkinen and Latvala describing Tänaks driving but the translation is so funny at times

    The reason for this is the speed of the Estonian driving style offered today. He drives softer than the others. According to Tommi Mäkinen, Tänak has adapted and well understood how new cars behave. He has worked hard on it.

    - Ott's fine with you in the car. He has enough understanding and experience of how a car likes to go the hardest, Mäkinen says.

    According to Latvala, Tänak was able to keep the car straight in the bends and was therefore faster. Now Latvala has started to copy a bit of Today's driving style. At the dawn of this year's World Cup in Finland, Latvala says Today's reason for success is more than just a modern driving style.

    - Ott also has a very good braking effect, ie he has soft brakes. That's where he has been able to get the most out of his new cars, Latvala describes to Yle Sports.

    - You also dare to take the gas at the bottom of the straight sections. It is said a lot that a driver is strong in some area. But Ott is strong in every aspect.

    I have noticed on onboards that Latvala drives with sharp inputs throwing the car around all the time. Tänak doesn't do that or at least I haven't noticed that.

    Id say Tanak uses sharp, but very precise inputs just to position the car without making it unstable.

    Suninen tells on twitch:

    - Ogier uses many different brake pressures. This reduces tyre wear when braking lightly on fast corners.
    - Ogier sets the car into the output angle on the input and can instantly go onto the throttle, whereas other drivers often go on and off the throttle
    - Tänak has copied these techniques from Ogier

    Yet.. after some time Ogier wanted to test after Tänak to benefit from his setups..

    and Suninen is moaning/trying to get better thru twitch..

    LOL....Kristian Sohlberg is doing a series of interviews of Finnish rallying people. He also interviewed Lappi.

    I'd say that this is generally one of the very basic things - to enter the cornes so that you can accelerate straigt out earliest possible, i.e. like we say here slow-in, fast-out. Isn't it?

    Basic but hard to do especially under pressure. I know from driving games that its so tempting to drive fast on the straight and brake as late possible. But slow in-fast out is much better and feels good when mastered, getting on the power much earlier.

    What Suninen said was that when comparing datalogs between different drivers, most get on the throttle and then adjust to grip by pushing more or lifting off. What Ogier does better is that he is very good at getting on the throttle just right in terms of time and amount. No hesitation. As a result he tends to get to the full throttle sooner than drivers that adjust more to find the right amount.

    Another thing that he brought up where Ogier is very good is braking. Instead of braking as quickly as possible he does it very differently in different situations. Most times not braking 100% which saves tires and gives some room for correction if the braking point was misjudged. Teemu said that this has been something he had to and has to work on coming from circuit racer background where short, sharp braking periods are the norm. He also said that Tänak perfected this as well while he was at M-Sport with Ogier.

    In general he was very complimentary of Ogier both as a competitor and as a team mate.
