Driver / co-driver: Juho Hanninen and Mikko Markkula (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo).
Press conference.
Q:
After what happened last year (exclusion), are you celebrating yet?
Juho Hanninen:
I’m not celebrating just yet, maybe we should wait a while…
Q:
There were some big battles this weekend with Patrik Sandell, until he retired. How much were you driving on the limit and did you have any moments?
JH:
After Friday morning, we had a little bit of a moment on the slippery stages. After that we weren’t on the limit, but Sandell was very fast – so I had to be a bit on the limit.
Q:
Were you surprised at the speed of the S2000 car?
JH:
It seems it’s very fast. There will be some tough fights this year.
Q:
How was the car on this event? Did the short remote service time worry you?
JH:
You don’t think about how long the service is. You can’t do that – you just have to stay focused on the driving. And anyway, our car is quite strong.
