[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2018 (18/21-May)

[EstWRC]

some interesting bits from an interview with Tommi in estonian newspaper, especially the bit about Latvala. i dont remember when was the last time that i saw team principal being so straightforward about his driver.

Do the marshals have to react quicker and throw away the big stones from the road?

TM: Absolutely! They had enough time to do it. Finally they did it but unfortunately too late for us. I dont particularly only mean the safety of the drivers or this accident with Ott but safety in general. These big stones can fly everywhere. It is dangerous in every way.

How do you comment Latvalas accident on the next stage?

TM: Jari-Mattis harddrive crashed again. As soon as Ott retired he lost his rhytm and things got messed up.

Can you specify ?

TM: He started to think that Tänaks retirement opens him a new chance. He forgot to concentrate on the driving and there was a accident right away. It was purely his mistake, no excuses.


Then also an interview with Latvala where he says that the car is more faster this year and there is more grip but it also has brought side effects and that he has to drive the car in different way. He cant drive the same way as he was used to drive.
