    We are following a world championship.

    It is pretty obvious to me that drivers have way to little in car seat time. They dont get their settings correct, issues with cars are not found before the rally, and so on.

    In seat practice for drivers competing at this level, need to be increased a lot. Both from a safety perspective, but also from a fair competition perspective.

    Thats interesting that we havent seen any bigger mistakes from Rally1 guys so far. Will they come? Unlucky Neuville, no one making mistakes on Friday.

    He is the best placed from our TOP 3, but I think that it really depends on road position. Podium is quite far from him and fourth place isn't enough for championship. But rally is still long, many things will happen.

    Tanaks huge early crash early at Rally Estonia and then no rally for Neuville didnt help them prepare.

    And Lappi can test as much as required on roads near the Hyundai base, plus he had a National rally last week too. There's no excuses for being so 'lost' here.

    Lappi had no test in Finland at all. There has been only two days (Tänak & Mikkelsen) testing during the whole summer. Why not testing there is a big question?

    Let's see if Hyundai will drop Lappi behind Neuville or if they'll shoot themselves in the foot again...
