HM:
I do, my son is doing a little bit and through him I follow it. Sometimes I see some of the Finnish drivers too and talk to them. I am still a little bit involved.
Crash.net:
This year your son is competing in the BRC, is that the aim ultimately for him, to get into the WRC?
HM:
He is doing the BRC this year and they found him some backing and it is good for him to come out here and do some rallying. He was driving before in Finland and this year he isn’t doing anything there. He is just competing in the UK.
Crash.net:
At the moment in the WRC, Marcus Gronholm and
Sebastien Loeb are both engaged in a fierce fight for the title - who would you tip to win the crown?
HM:
Marcus has said that this will be his last year, so let’s hope he will win.
Crash.net:
How much of a blow for the sport is it to lose Gronholm, because he is a big name and a big character?
HM:
Yes he is a big character and it has been mostly between Loeb and Marcus. Let’s see if there is anybody that can challenge Loeb after that.
Crash.net:
Is
Mikko Hirvonen ready to step up and lead the
BP Ford WRT?
HM:
We will see. He has to do it and now we will see if he has got it.
Crash.net:
Colin McRae was tragically killed last weekend, is there anything you would like to say on that?
HM:
It was shocking news. You never think that this kind of thing can happen and to have his son with him, that just shows how dangerous this world is. You think one day that everything is fine and then the next day it is a catastrophe. I was very sad to hear the news.
