INFORMATION ABOUT SS 20
retired (84 - Marenco Claudio / Melella Marina): accident in SS 20
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's hard to smile right now, a win in Finland is always nice but that is not the way we like to have it. Very sorry for Kalle and Jonne, amazing pace all weekend. Quite unlucky with the stone on the weekend. It's a shame for them. We were unlucky in Sardinia and lost in the last stage but we are lucky here, that is motorsport. I have to see if we do a full campaign but it looks like I have no other option. It is not my priority anymore but we'll see.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): To be honest, real rollercoaster of emotion this weekend. Just like the stages, emotions were up and down, challenging weekend of course but I think we had a clever approach this weekend knowing it was hard to fight with the Toyotas. After our teams issues, we knew we had to bring the points home. We have to thank the team, hopefully they get a bit of holiday and a rest as we have some tough events coming up. I'm not surprised Ogier is a challenger, I think he could do the remaining events.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm really pleased it ended up like that after a difficult start for us with no test and no preparation. I am so pleased to go up to the podium, it is good for France. The fourth podium is always good, especially in Finland.
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): First of all, huge thanks to the Toyota team, an amazing weekend for me. I have been trying to enjoy this as much as possible. On some of the stages we have done quite nicely and we have learnt a lot. It is a big relief to come to the finish, but I was hoping the rally would never end as we were enjoying a lot. A big thank you to everyone. Hopefully back in Rally1 very soon.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I don't know what to say. Sorry from my side on Friday for sure, I just feel bad for Kalle. We tried to get there, rallying is rally. I'll try to do a better job for the team next time. EP, Sunday points, I am possibly one less than him. [You're equal] Maybe I am not so bad.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): For sure when you retire, it doesn't matter which rally, you will always be disappointed. It is the most important one for me personally. It is part of life as well, when you drive on the limit and don't actually do anything wrong, we saw on the last one. We felt so bad for Kalle Rovanperä, I felt physically sick for him on the road section. If nothing has changed, we should see me again.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Difficult to say, it is always difficult to do Finland in the Rally1 for the first time. The mistake on Saturday was a shame, I would've like to have done Päïjälä and Ouninpöhja in that car, but thanks to the mechanics for getting it back out today and we'll have a nice break before Greece.
flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's a fantastic feeling, it means a lot to get congratulations from Jari-Matti, it's been a great fight and it is good to fight against him like he did against my father. Big thanks to the team, they had to push my car into service so thanks to them for that. It has been a very good weekend.
flash info (39 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It's been a bit sad day for Toyota, it is sad to see our boys retiring. It is motorsport and it is hard sometimes. It is a bit controversial because we expected to be top five, but we are in podium in WRC2 after finishing fifth last year. It is not bad, maybe we can drive more. I need to ask my boss if we are allowed to.
flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It's really nice feeling, thanks to all my sponsors who are involved. It has been a tricky Sunday, Heikkilä has been on good pace so we have to push hard.
flash info (32 - Heikkilä Mikko / Temonen Kristian): I tried, I gave everything. It was quite a clean run but it was like full attack in my opinion. Very unlucky weekend for us. Yesterday fighting with the really fast guys. I did all I can, but still losing. Thanks to the team, they fixed the rear. This morning was frustrating with the oil on the windscreen.
flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): I think that is the highlight winning Ouninpöhja stage, considering the crash we had Friday we are very lucky to be here. We have to take fifth position with a good positive attitude. Big thanks to the team and big thanks to Toyota for building such a strong car.
flash info (27 - Korhonen Roope / Viinikka Anssi): This was a difficult, really full rain in some places. Quite good feeling, of course we lost because we had a puncture. Otherwise, our race was quite good.
flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): Like my friends say, it is top five every time for us. I was not pushing in this stage as we were making some changes to the roll bar on the rear. The car was undriveable, it was fun because the rear was everywhere. I have to speak to the team about this. Now I am waiting to go back to my hotel room, to have some burger and Red Bull and watch some series.
Starting order: Gryazin, Korhonen, Linnamäe, Heikkilä, Joona, Latvala, Solberg, Munster, Lappi, Katsuta, Pajari, Fourmaux, Neuville, Ogier
