    Lappi doesn't have pressure from the team cause he is paying himself and not the team paying him and he has no clear WRC2 title goal, just to get a drive.

    But as they said on allive he is much more relaxed and is building a house instead of thinking rally all the time. Maybe a good idea. Then again it's hard to do much else when you sit at home with COVID.

    Lappi dont spent his money just to drive,he spents them to gain a wrc seat.So there is pressure.
    Mikkelsens problem isnt what going to say manager of Tok sport,but what will say Adamo.Wilson,or Latvala.

    WRC3 leader Kajto slid off the road near the end of the last stage. There was no damage to the car, but without any spactators at this place he couldn't get back on the road. Kajto is going to re-start the rally tomorrow, but his good result is already wasted.

    Also Lindholm retired on SS6, but I don't know what happened.

    Yohan Rossel is the new leader in WRC3.

    Lappi spends money "Just to get a (wrc) drive", which is obvious to everyone, even to you.

    For Mikkelsen that's where the problem is. Tok Sport manager (or more Skoda manager since I believe they pay) would be very fine with him finishing 2nd or 3rd in rallies (they said that after Arctic). While Mikkelsen (and Wilson or Latvala) might be more concerned about speed and less interested in collecting places after everyone retires. Leading to certain conflict of interest, might be even more profound on Safari when just cruising automatically means 2nd place.

    Well it's kinda very poor sign then when Mikkelsen is cracking under Toksport manager's pressure. That's a really bad for the big team bosses eyes... And here as well

    Your made up excuses doesn't help him a single bit, only makes things worse if someone is starting to claim that a guy who aims to be one of the top drivers in the world can't handle the pressure (from a village team boss?)

    A name that hasn't been mentioned yet, but deserves a lot of credit IMO: Yohan Rossel.
    Great drive, 1st in WRC3 and not far from Huttunen and Ostberg.
    Doing a lot better than Ingram...

    In case you haven't been following, the reason to post the list of "pressure" areas ( one of which is likely those paying him (Skoda)) was a response to the post claiming he was under no pressure at all, which is simply wrong.
    Sure he has to handle pressure wherever it comes from and yes he has to stop crashing (too often) if he wants to drive WRC. Also some other points being made are perfectly correct.

    But there is quite a bit of a difference between peoples opinions or stating facts and writing things that are simply not true. I don't see why some people feel the need to "spice" the arguments with those, often seemingly on purpose to "prove their point".

    Then the next level when proven wrong on lies is to go to personal attacks and direct trolling, some seem to enjoy to that as well.
