The only one I can count on being fast and reliable is Tänak, but it requires that the car doesn't develop a surprising issue like it has lately done.
    and speaking about Lappi again....you need big balls and bucket loads of confidence in Finland, which he is missing at the moment, confidence i mean....dont know about his balls...

    Latvala should also, besides Tanak, be the man who runs the finnish stages back and forth with balls as big as mountains...

    We could assume no fourth car for Toyota

    We could assume no fourth car for Toyota Gazoo Racing. In Sweden Gronholm entered under a different team name.

    GRX is his own team, not "a different team name"

    Also worth remembering that Kankkunen will do show runs on Harju on a Yaris WRC. One of their cars is going to be occupied for that.

    Leustu recce video / stage introduction in Finnish

    EDIT: remember that except for the first 400 metres this is the exact same stage as in 2014 so you can refer to the WRC+ onboards as well.

    Yes, correct. If anyone was going to drive a Yaris WRC, it would be Katsuta, and it seems like he's going to drive a Fiesta R5.

    From Kankkunen it would have been much cooler if he did the show runs with an old Celica, with the ingenious turbo of course.

    And Hänninen was entered by Tommi Mäkinen Racing in Sardegna. But yes, seems unlikely they'll field four cars. It's not like they'd need extra testing in Finland.

    With good pace in last year's rally, it would be pleasure to see Østberg doing rally Finland in WRC. Don't know about his R5 contract with Citroen, but maybe there could be opportunities like Citroen's 3rd WRC car (or even replacing Lappi) or taking the Hyundai seat?
