Sports Expert Henri Haapamäki Next, closely analyze all the most important events for the weekend World Cup.

Where did the rally solve?

Elfyn Evans, who was victorious, was in the lead of the rally after every day. Even Friday’s starting point did not slow down, even though Evans was the first to go to the race.

– Evans went to the top and it was wondered if it would be lost. Did not disappear, but led the rally at the end of Friday. Evans was able to stretch, even though the watch really put a lot of pressure. The top spot in the rally changed several times, but the Evans Kantti liked. He twisted to victory and the bottom time even in Power Stage, Haapamäki said.

Experienced Evans may not have received the appreciation he deserves.

– Evans is a really high -quality and long -time rally driver. He is a peaceful personality and is not a buzzing bouncer on the roof of a car at the time of victory. Performances seen in Monte Carlo and now in Sweden tell us that there is really a skill.

What speaks?

Kalle Rovanperä, who went to Sweden as a winner’s favorite, lost the game already on Friday. Fifth Rovanperä has already been 30 points in the World Series in Evans. The disappointed Rovanperä put the straight words in the paint and described that he was “disaster on snow”.

– Kalle summed up what he was sure to expect from him. He is considered one of the fastest snow and ice drivers in the world. Are the new tires that are not suitable for Kale’s driving style? Or were the car adjustments wrong?

According to Haapamäki, it has to be remembered that Kalle is such a high -quality driver that he did not fall over to business.

– He took what could be taken, Haapamäki said.

There were 18 special stages in the Swedish World Rally, of which only one base time was recorded in Rovanperä.

-It was expected that the Finnish boy would plow the other country. Sure, there were individual good times, but by no means domination. It was expected that there would be a tough difference to others and then Kalle would control the situation. But now the pace was not enough.

Who surprised?

Takamoto View struggled to the end of his first World Rallying win. Although Evans was stronger in the solution stages, I watch hard going.

– You have to take your hat off. A lot has been watched by the fact that when it comes to a little tighter, errors or exits start to come. Now he lasted really well. Sure, Katsuta has been doing well on snow and ice before, but now it was exceptionally good.

According to Haapamäki, watching was really struggling with the winning rally, even though he was to another.

– Extremely fast, really great, Haapamäki was excited.

Who floppy?

Rovanperä went to this season as the biggest championship favorite after his intervening year. The beginning has been sticky and the presentation now seen in Sweden was a unfortunate surprise.

– I’m not throwing Kope in any way under the bus, but I say frankly that he was expecting Kale’s number one in Swedish snow. It was a disappointment that Kalle had never driven the victory at any time competition.

What about Sami Pajari?

Toyota’s newcomer Sami Pajari It finished seventh in Sweden.

– Pajari gets a good grade, even though the result looks worse than what was expected. It took about 40 seconds for him at the start of the rally. The stable has already been reached, so now is not the intention of shaking the crazy gloss in the eyes. Now we drive experience and kilometers. Let’s slowly raise and learn the Rally1 trucks.

Rally “Run”

The word “run” refers to the outfit of rally enthusiasts and viewers. Henri Haapamäki usually chooses the most memorable run of the World Rally, but now in Sweden the choice hit the French Adrien Fourmaux‘N for a special bump on Saturday.

– Fourmaux’s helmet leaving strap open was a situation that is rarely seen in rallies. Then Fourmaux accused the organizers why they didn’t see his helmet was loose. Special accusations, because it is obvious that all equipment and systems must be in place when driving to the time inspection station.

Haapamäki emphasizes that the driver has a good time to check his equipment before starting a special test.

– Human mistake and oblivion. Sometimes the map reader reads the note wrong, sometimes the mechanic forgets the bolt open or sometimes the driver drives into the woods. But very rarely happens that the driver forgets to wear the equipment properly, Haapamäki says.

The next race of the Rally Championships will be held in March in Kenya.
