I also agree that Hype is too much now and expect Top6 results from Lappi, not podiums.
Lappi did one day at the end of team's Rally Sweden tests, but because of issues with the car on the day he got to drive only for 3 hours or so. This was his first proper touch with the car.
Lappi did one day at Corsican test.
Lappi did one day before Portugal.
Lappi did one day before Sardegna (in Finland).
Lappi did one day before Poland.

That is not much. There could be an odd day more here and there, but I think those 5 days are pretty much all he have tested. He has not done any development testing as far as I know. That was mainly Hänninen's job who in a recent interview said he did something like 60 days in Yaris last year.

Toyota has been very quiet in testing front in Finland apart from Rally Sweden tests. I think they will use their homefield advantage before Rally Finland a lot more.
