    i remember in one interview he said that it just needs some tweaks and it will be the best car or smth like that. im too lazy to search for it.


    Anyway, we with my friends were very surprised by his comments at that time. Like, you havent even done one rally with the car and you already say its better there and there and with some tweaks it will be the best car.


    Testing is one thing, rally another. Shame its gone so wrong for him, really miss the happy Lappi, tired of the unhappy one.

    Also strange Lappi thinking his 'move to Citroen was a mistake'.
    I thought he was unhappy at Toyota and moved more because of that, not because he thought the C3 was a better car.

    As for contracts, they dont tie a driver to a Team, rather the other way around....
    I doubt Citroen wouldnt stand in Lappi's way of he chose to move.

    The way the rumors went here it was more like Tommi and him had some disagreements.

    The word around the virtual Finnish service park is that it was indeed more because of some chemistry issues between different individuals than the car itself. And I have no inside information whatsoever, so it can all be #fakenews as well, but that's how I understood it.

    Lappi had issues with "someone" on the team. Not any of the drivers, but someone overseeing things...

    Too bad no-one could tell who it was.

    I just hope that no silly stuff like personal relationships would ruin such a promising career. Let's see, moving to Citroen has not gone well sofar.

    Seems that way. In the pre-Monte tests, we saw a really different aero kit, then it disappeared. Perhaps it wasn't effective and they start again?

    Worryingly, I can't see them sticking around after 2020 if the team doesn't turn things around.
