It means 7 month break. Which could be very bad for progress of young driver. And there are a lot more..

I think a lot of young drivers would kill for the opportunity Lappi has. A works drive, plenty of testing, the best R5 car.

I think Lappi himself would admit his reliability on tarmac has not been good enough. Maybe as you suggest, WRC2 + Czech Championship next year would be a good idea.

They sometimes have to stop to top up on the green stuff, as seen in above pictures... that's what makes them so EcoBoost!

"On the last stage I don't know what happened. When I hit the brakes the car went sideways and we had a moment. The car is now only braking with three wheels."

I know it is fashion to bash on Kubica these days but to do third fastest stage time with three bakes is GOOOOD! He has pace in abundance! Seems to be getting more and more consistent as well. He hasn't gone off the road as much as before. Needs to learn where potential punctures could happen though (I guess).

You can't say the pace he showed today wasn't impressive. I was impressed anyway!

Looks like Kopecký is settling for 2nd then.
