Heh I had to listen to this podcast and EP said "I still like Tänak but he wasn't as fair as Ogier. I can't demand the he shares his stuff that's his business but in contrary Ogier was very open minded"
Anyway interesting podcast, really liked it bcs EP was really straightforward and relaxed.

Charming, when they kind of gave him his break onto the world stage. There are always two sides to every story.. i seem to remember Mirek alluding to Lappi being quite difficult to work with or something along those lines?
- He says that in "village teams" like Toyota and M-Sport you can just develop a new part and try it on, but in big factory teams like Citroen and Skoda, it takes months for the boards to agree on the plan before they can start making anything.
Interesting to hear his thoughts nonetheless.

First time I hear something like that. Note that during that time (2013-2014) Lappi actually did crash a lot.
Wonder how he would work with Adamo at Hyundai, specially if he would do something like 2019 first rounds of the season.
- He believes the C3 WRC with 2020 updates would have been a winner car in Rally Finland with the new aero and engine (which they didn't even get to test). In the autumn 2020 tests they were 0.5 s/km faster than the previous tests on the first run already.

Well Veiby got kicked quite rapidly for that picture a few years ago, which is hardly surprising though.
Maybe Skoda-leadership is or was (all of this is 2-6 years back) a lot about drivers being "employed". On the other hand the interaction between engineers and drivers and the response to driver suggestions seems to work rather well there. I can barely remember any drivers complaining about any setup or handling issues.
All this is completely external speculation from me.
