Is Katsuta landing funny? These problems don’t seem to have affected Suninen.

Lots of fast corners where you can feel the balance of the car. Good testing, car is improving."

Good to hear Suninen being positive, but I guess he and M-Sport are as surprised as the rest of us at their lack of pace. If Suninen can’t deliver it’s a bit of a stretch to imagine Greensmith or Camilli can in Finland.

No reason to panic though, this and Finland are quite specific events and the Fabia (and I guess maybe therefore Polo too?) are known for being capable of a very high top speed. Maybe Fiesta is geared in a different way.

Camilli and Greensmith devloped the car and are R5 drivers, Camilli, having experience from the Polo too, was quite positive. I think they could do better.
