I felt pressure more than ever before the rally. I got five bad rallies in a row before Rally Finland and I had to stop that trend. Pressure affected me in the first proper stage, Moksi, on friday morning. I was 9,4 seconds behind Ott T\u00e4nak in the stage that I like the most in the rally. After this stage I was able to find the good rhythm for the three next stages. After the midday service I lost my pace again at Oittila. I lost 10 seconds there. Again after this one poor stage time I was able to find the right mood and after the friday we hold 3rd position overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On saturday morning I decide to try to catch Ott T\u00e4nak and Mads \u00d6stberg. After first saturday morning stages I realized that Ott T\u00e4nak has done superb job and without his problems I am not able to catch him. I made small setup changes in the midday service. After this I was more confident with the car and I felt more relaxed. I was able to narrow the gap between me and Mads, and after saturday I was 5,4 seconds behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday there were two stages driven twice, Laukaa and Ruuhim\u00e4ki. I was at maximum attack -mode for the whole loop. I didn\u2019t even break to any jumps, but still it wasn\u2019t enough. Rally ended to the 3rd place 2,8 seconds behind Mads \u00d6stberg, who drove one of the his best rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e4nak won, \u00d6stberg second and I was third. This result took out of the pressures from my shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
