He says it has been a bad season and wonders if it was a bad move.

Yikes! It seems as if maybe Lappi is on his way out. Why else be so vocal this time of year? Is he letti g other teams know he's available?

I agree with you... I'm just surprised he's so vocal about the issues. Maybe his statements are being twisted around by media.

Lappi (translated from the video):
The season's been horrible. There is that one good result (Sweden), but it doesn't change the overall picture. It's been really challenging. The car has not suited my style and thus I've been trying to push too hard which has lead to mistakes. We made some progress during Portugal and Sardegna, but I feel like it's not enough. Ofcourse I've been thinking if the move (from Toyota to Citroen) was wrong because I've been hitting my head against the wall, but on the other hand I just make it harder for myself if I keep thinking about that. So it doesn't make sense to put any energy into that. The only goal I have (regarding Finland) is to finish. We'll see if that's good enough.ku ois neljä pyörää ku vetäis ni ois vähän eri sekunnit kyllä pätkillä, sen mä takaan

I would think Lappi would be close to Ogier in Finland... But if all this behind the scenes talk about the Citroen is true I see both Lappi and Seb struggling in Finland. Unless they announce some big changes, but other teams are also upping their game. Toyotas will dominate...

In Sardania Ogier was saying it should be for Finland, but that might have changed.
Anyway in some way it's better to wait and be sure it's a big improvement. It is over a month of extra time and Finland is just one rally, while at the end of the year there are 3,5 rallies on gravel that might just decide the championship.
Still based on Sweden speed the car shouldn't be too bad in Finland.
