But i will try to make it shorter next time!

Well I meant not in general, but just another "shorter" version. If You have time of course

Actually it's only 21min with cars the rest is podium

I felt i had 10min of awesome clips from shakedown already, it takes a lot of time to go over it and deleted more clips so then i wouldn't manage to get it out so fast. I stayed up until 2am sunday night to finish it, i know a lot of the local guys too so that's why i brought more of the Norwegians and Swedes than usual. But i will try to make it shorter next time!

Yes 21 minutes are too much but...Why shorter? Split it in two or three videos. We are very strange and illogical creatures. We can easily watch a dozen of videos of 5 minutes each but no way to reach the end of a 20 minutes video. I know that's weird but what can we do?

Youtube video's pays me a months extra salary compared to my normal work so i like to concentrate on getting one video viewed more than many different ones

For Paddon
On top of that, the i20 that he was driving had been tested and set up around Dani Sordo’s liking.

Yes the car was for sordo,but since Hayden tested before the rally he used his own set up.why they write such things?or do i miss something?

Edit
Its not the first time i read or hear this but since i read it again i have to ask why they write such things.to my mind they write these thing just to give bigger value to his fifth overall position.

It was well known days ago the rally started.

Obviously you did miss something. Every article both pre & post Sweden explained the issue. Here's one now ...

But along with the new car came Sordo’s preferred differential settings - unchangeable due to component linking regulations.

Making his season debut in Sweden, Paddon got off to a slow start as he struggled to get to grips with the car’s unfamiliar handling. “The main problem was that it was set-up to be a lot more sideways on corner entry, whereas my natural style is to try and keep the car straight,” he told wrc.com.

“The front end kept coming out mid-corner when I was trying to come on power. That meant I had to be a lot more aggressive with the car - and for me that didn’t feel natural. It was a case of having to adapt over the weekend.”

There's no need to add value to Paddon's 5th placing. It was an excellent result for someone unfamiliar with snow regardless of set up.

They were not permitted to change the settings for the transmissions from Sordo's so the diffs all had different breakaway setting to that which Paddon runs in his car. In turn this can then require different suspension settings. Paddon only had a one morning test session to adjust both the suspension and his driving style to suit Sordo's car prior to the rally start. Considering that by the events end he had probably doubled his lifetime experience of driving on either snow or ice he probably didn't do to bad

Extract from the 2015 regulations:
64.5 LIMITATION OF TRANSMISSION & SPARE PARTS
64.5.1 For a Manufacturer or a WRC Team, a list of linked rallies intended to be run with the same transmission and spare parts must be notified to the FIA prior to the first rally in which they will take part as:
- 2 links of 2 rallies per car,1 link of 3 rallies and 1 link of 4 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a Manufacturer or a WRC Team which has nominated all Championship rallies.
- 4 links of 2 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a WRC Team which has nominated 10-12 rallies.
- 3 links of 2 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a WRC Team which has nominated 7, 8 or 9 rallies.

If a car does not finish a rally of a link, new transmission and spare parts may be sealed at scrutineering of the next rally of the link.

64.5.2 For rallies which are not linked, Arts. 64.7.2 & 63.3 will apply.

64.6 TRANSMISSIONS
For Manufacturers and WRC Teams, 2 gearbox and differential assemblies per car will be sealed on the first rally of each link. Only these units must be used on the linked rallies. If 2 gearbox and differential assemblies have been used on the first rally of a link (and/or second rally of a link in case of a link of 3 rallies and/or third rally of a link in case of a link of 4 rallies), only once per season, 2 different gearbox and differential assemblies may be sealed without incurring a penalty (Manufacturers and/or WRC Teams must inform the FIA before pre-rally scrutineering of the second or third rally of the link).
