[WRC] 70th Rally Finland 2021

[Danny0405]

Huge performance by Evans, maybe his greatest. At least, it will give some interest to Catalunya Rally with his battle with Ogier.

Good performance for Breen, 3 podiums in a row, he has shown some consistency at high level even if he benefits from the road position. The only thing is that, as mknight said, he is a little Ostberg-like in his way of dropping along the weekend. But probably enough to secure managers on giving him a full-time seat.

Lappi rather good but not huge considering it was Finland; however, he probably did not take all the risks as this rally was very important for his career. It is probably enough to secure Toyota for next year.

Good run by Suninen with beating Ostberg. Not better than Lappi in Sweden and Portugal with the same car so it will probably not be enough to be in the discussion for Toyota (all the more with Lappi who made the job) but, if he is able to reproduce something similar with the Hyundai Rally2 in Spain, he could be a strong contender for a shared third car with Sordo in 2022 (if the choice is not totally made or if Solberg is still awful in Spain).

Good to see Tanak at this level even if he cannot fight for the win.

Ogier did the job except his issues in the power stage. But with 24 points-margin and two tarmac rallies to go, it is not that bad for the championship and it is the only thing that matters for him.

Quite disappointing for Katsuta, after his bad stint (even if not all of his fault), it was important to finish without mistake and he didn’t succeed all the more than his times were not impressive.

Solberg, I prefer to avoid to tell something... the same for M-Sport for other reasons.
