Lappi is super talent and his natural speed especially in gravel is high level.

He hasnt test yaris much so he has lack of experience about this car. He will start in Portugal carefully and I dont expect him to do good stages times first day. I am disapponted if he not beating Latvala in some stages.

If we go back in time and year 2012 when he became well known in rally scene. Lappi drove fiesta s2000 in rally Finland and doing superb stages times. Beating in many stages Ogier, P-G Andersson, Breen and Mikkelsen. He won challenging Ouninpohja stage Ogier more than 10 seconds.

Last years rally Finland he lost many stages under 1 sec/km top wrc drivers. Some stages lost only 0,5 sec/km. Tells a lot of natural speed.

In tarmac I am not sure his top speed. His motorsport backround comes from karting and He is finnish champion in karting. Tells a lot also.

He seems to be nice character and sense of humour is there. Many funny comments in past. Wrc world need personalities.

He belong in wrc level definitely. Wait and see...
