No offence, just wondering.
Well Juha Salo needed a win so no reason for him to do any tactics. Asunmaa probably played it safe.

Pietarinen is from Southern Finland, not from the Tampere area.

It would have been interesting to have Rovanperä on the event for comparison, he wasn't this dominant on the two Finnish rallies he did this year.
