Seems Tänak has no answer to Breen

Kalle has halfed the gap with Lappi already. Just 12.1 now the gap

How much difference in trackwith between the wheels is it between rally1 and rally2 cars.

Neuville said in Dirtfish's pre-rally interview that the super fast 2017 Knon stage was dangerous because there were no snow banks. Now there is, so the situation is different. Average speed is not a measurement for safety officially, FIA evaluates the stage safety be eye.

Am I the only one who get annoyed by Tanaks constant complaining? Seems it has become a bad habit in Hyundai time. Nobody expected that Puma would be competitive in the first part of year anyway; too much lost development time in 2022 due to the bunch of crashmasters.

How demotivating it is for boys and girls in M-Sport to listen those complaints in every interview!

Pick your self up, Ott!

I still think Ott sounds very different than last year. Last year he was attacking the team, sounding very annoyed. Now he's very humble and quiet, although it's clear that things aren't going his way.

What does he has to do then?

To Say the feeling and the car is the best and have a huge fake smile while things actually aren’t the best?

I don’t see him being critical to the team, more towards himself.

What makes you think the Puma will be competitive later in the year? It will probably go only backwards compared to hyundai and toyota.

Not necessarily, it depends if they find a few things that make the car better for Tanak that don’t cost huge amount of budget.
I don’t how much geometry stuff they can change easily, but still the car looks out of balance. He’s driving it very well.

For him to drive the car for only the second time on snow and be 2nd today is pretty good considering everything. I'm pretty confident they'll manage to improve the car throughout the year, remember 12 months ago? no one thought Hyundai had a chance yet Tänak managed to get 3 wins with an under-steering, not to his liking car.
