INFORMATION ABOUT SS 22
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been a pretty good weekend. Of course we're sorry for the loss of Kalle at the start of the rally but after that it's been really fantastic to drive this car - it's such a joy to be behind the wheel of on these roads and we're really happy with this one. It's been a fantastic atmosphere and great to have the support behind us. Of course, in terms of the championship it's also not bad and we close the gap.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a big relief to be on the podium in Finland again after 10 years of, I would say, a struggle. It shows that together with the team and the changes that are ongoing we are going in the right way. I am happy it's now over and we get a bit of a break because this weekend was really exhausting.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): My first podium in Europe and I didn't expect it in Finland! I am very happy, thank you for all the support - especially my family. Morizo-san, Akio-san is here this weekend and it's been very special for me because he has been supporting me since the beginning.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The result itself is quite good but we were a bit slow when we were facing rain and slippy conditions. A bit disappointed but we just have to prepare well for the next rallies and come back as a better driver. I am really looking forward for the future.
flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It's been amazing fun, thanks to Toyota for giving me this great opportunity. This stage was exactly what we wanted, it was a clean run with no mistakes. Even Juho said that I surprised him on this stage so if we can get one point it will be perfect.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): We tried to do our best, you never know - if somebody misses a junction or something, we might get a point. We lost power, since yesterday we had a small issue and it's grown.
flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was a little bit of a mistake to not score points, but that's life and a win is a win. Finland has not been great in the past so to finally do a good result against the locals at this level of speed is fantastic.
flash info (27 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It's a really, really nice feeling. Thank you to everyone, it seems to be every rally I say this to everyone but I am so pleased and grateful to be here. It's a really nice feeling and this belongs to many people who are helping us.
flash info (26 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I have to say that the team has been working really well. We had a good result here and we had no issues at all on the car. It wasn't in the plan to be finishing on the podium here and it's a good result for everybody. Fighting with the Finnish drivers here is quite special.
flash info (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I like this one but it was a little bit challenging with the ruts. I am not sure we will take the stage win but I was trying.
flash info (30 - Heikkilä Mikko / Vaaleri Samu): It was the seventh rally in a row which has been a disaster for us. We basically didn't have so much to do on this rally, we could not fight for the top places. It was more like driving through.
flash info (34 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I couldn't really get the car very well sorted for this stage. Struggled a lot in both passes but at least we are through safely. It's good to have a rally without drama for a change.
flash info (29 - Joona Lauri / Shemeikka Tuukka): Of course, I have enjoyed it a lot. The stages are really nice and it was a good rally for us.
Starting order: Joona, Linnamäe, Mikkelsen, Heikkilä, Gryazin, Fourmaux, Pajari, Solberg, Loubet, Latvala, Suninen, Katsuta, Neuville, Evans
