Information
Date and time SS Information
19.11.2023 12:11 22 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): For sure, it was important to find some speed and confidence in these difficult conditions. I have to thank the whole team. The first part of the season was good and I am sorry for the second half because I was not really good enough. I am looking forward to the future.
19.11.2023 04:11 21 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): All is now under control. It hasn't been during the weekend, but now I feel pretty okay. All good.
19.11.2023 04:11 20 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt a bit better than in the morning but I said to my engineers that we needed a small change, and I need to be able to carry a bit more speed. I think I managed to do that. It doesn't feel fast but it was a bit faster on every corner, so the time is a bit better.
19.11.2023 01:11 19 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Not good. I can't do anything more, I just can't.
19.11.2023 00:11 18 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Very bad. I have no grip, it's the same as on Friday. I cannot make it work with the wet tyres.
18.11.2023 23:11 17 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): The feeling is okay but for sure there are some slippy places and drier places as well. Changeable conditions with some dirt on the road in places. It's not so straightforward.
18.11.2023 12:11 16 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's not normal that I am good at these super specials, but this weekend I think 22 super specials would be good for me!
18.11.2023 12:11 15 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was afraid that I couldn't get the hard tyres up to temperature for the beginning. Maybe it was the wrong choice, but it was safer like this.
18.11.2023 12:11 14 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think the hard tyres are not the best on these conditions! It was good at the beginning but at at the end.
18.11.2023 12:11 13 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's very dirty inside of the forest, so the confidence was not really high there. When it was dry and quite clean, I had the best feeling of the weekend. It was quite enjoyable but I was just too careful in the dirty places.
18.11.2023 03:11 12 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's a good super special. Interesting - there are some characteristics which normally you don't have on a super special. This one is enjoyable and good for the spectators.
17.11.2023 12:11 8 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Faster than Ogier two times in a row - at least something good happens this weekend!
17.11.2023 12:11 7 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It's better to do it this way. I know there are a lot of surprises coming today and I have been really slow, but at least we are on the road. That's the most important thing.
17.11.2023 12:11 6 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): We tried. For sure, we tried to improve. It's quite embarrassing where we are but it is how it is.
17.11.2023 12:11 5 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I don't know what to do, to be honest.
17.11.2023 00:11 3 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): There's a lot of standing water on this one. There was some already on the previous one and over here we were aquaplaning so much. It's quite crazy.
16.11.2023 23:11 2 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I was just safe. When there is the needles, I have no confidence. You can lose the grip suddenly and it's quite tricky to try to gain the confidence.
16.11.2023 21:11 1 flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It must be okay when you beat Seb! It should be okay.
