00:16 Yeah, of course, after Kenya, the feeling is good in the

00:18 team after the great result.

00:20 And now in Estonia, we have a totally different kind of

00:23 rally, going flat out from start to finish.

00:25 For sure, a rally which I like a lot.

00:27 I enjoy these roads and the surface here a lot.

00:29 So the feeling is, of course, positive at the moment.

00:33 It's very nice to be here.

00:34 And it's going to be a big challenge weekend.

00:37 But of course, now focusing to the meeting of our fans.

00:40 And we will have good times with them.

00:43 So yeah, ready to the start.

00:46 Looking forward to get going.

00:48 It's a tight and twisty start.

00:49 And then, of course, the real action starts tomorrow with

00:52 the fast and high speed stages.

00:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:07 So it was a really big challenge this morning.

01:11 Yeah, I think we did a good job.

01:12 We pushed really hard, no mistakes.

01:15 We tried to keep the pace up.

01:18 And yeah, the guys from behind, of course, with the

01:20 better road position, come a bit faster.

01:22 But I think we matched them as well as we can.

01:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:27 It's been tight gaps throughout the day, like

01:30 always here in Estonia.

01:31 It's been pretty fast out there.

01:33 Struggled a bit with the feeling this morning.

01:35 But that's improved during the afternoon.

01:37 Unfortunately, we have dropped a bit behind EP.

01:39 We had the second half of one stage, which was pretty poor.

01:42 Otherwise, it's been nip and tuck between us.

01:44 So he's pipped ahead of us overnight.

01:47 Obviously, still very close.

01:48 And all to play for tomorrow.

01:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:01 Yeah, I was struggling a lot this morning and afternoon.

02:05 Team did quite a good job to improve the car.

02:08 But still, I'm still missing a lot of confidence and rhythm

02:12 and feeling.

02:13 So I need to find out for tomorrow and to do work more

02:17 quite a lot.

02:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:23 Many, many things happened this afternoon.

02:26 And I was trying to improve my driving and everything.

02:29 But then a few issues happened on the car.

02:34 So it was a bit difficult to find out what is going on.

02:37 But yeah, we are able to through the stages.

02:41 And yeah, we basically finished all the stages on Saturday.

02:45 So this is the main thing.

02:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:51 Yeah, it seems we've been a fair bit of back and forth

02:54 during the day.

02:56 A bit more in EP's favour towards the end

02:58 of the afternoon there.

02:59 So the gap is a bit more than we'd like, of course.

03:02 But it's still relatively close.

03:04 And all to play for tomorrow.

03:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:08 Feeling is, of course, really, really great.

03:10 Amazing day.

03:11 It doesn't happen so often that you can win all the stages.

03:13 But it was clear plan in the morning

03:16 that we need to push hard to get a bit of gap if we can.

03:18 And yeah, it was clear that the pace is now with the,

03:21 let's say, fair road position was good.

03:24 And yeah, I really enjoyed the stages.

03:27 I was pushing a bit sometimes.

03:28 And then sometimes just enjoying the driving.

03:30 And it went well.

03:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:46 Some positive, some negatives.

03:48 Mainly I feel that a lot of negatives

03:50 this weekend for myself.

03:52 But honestly, my personal feeling is not really happy.

03:55 So I just need to analyse what was wrong

03:58 with my driving and everything.

03:59 And otherwise, rally Finland going to be the same story.

04:02 So I try to change or improve definitely for the Finns.

04:07 Today on the last day of the rally, we had an OK day.

04:10 There was one stage in particular

04:12 we weren't so strong.

04:13 And then the two runs of the power stage,

04:15 we had pretty OK runs through.

04:16 So again, a bit up and down.

04:18 But overall, we come away with some good power stage points.

04:23 Amazing feeling to do the 10th event win in Estonia,

04:26 three times in a row here.

04:27 This weekend was something special,

04:29 having all the stages from Saturday morning also.

04:32 I think we showed quite well the speed

04:35 and what the car can do.

04:37 We did a perfect job.

04:39 So it's amazing.

04:41 But it's due to the teamwork.

04:43 So not only for Kalle, but everyone worked for the team

04:48 to make a big result.

04:51 Thank you again.
