WRC - Latvala Wins the Power Stage, Hänninen Also Scores

QuotesTommi Mäkinen (Team Principal)"Today we achieved the objectives we had the beginning of the day, with Jari-Matti taking maximum points on the Power Stage and Juho completing the #rally in the top 10. Jari-Matti came back well from the disappointment of retiring yesterday. He again showed great speed, like he did earlier in the weekend. Overall, the result wasn't what we expected but the pace we had here was a positive going on to Finland."Jari-Matti Latvala (Driver car 10)"Of course, it was disappointing to retire on Saturday but it was important that we came back and managed to win the Power Stage. I was focusing a lot before the stage, going through all the corners and the braking points in my mind, and it paid off. We scored five more points and it gives me the confidence again that our car is very fast and we can challenge our rivals in the rallies that are coming up. Thanks to the team for the work to prepare my car to restart today and ensure we could get these five points. They could still be very valuable in the championship."
Juho Hänninen (Driver car 11)"It has been a challenging weekend. The conditions were very difficult. When it was really slippery, on the harder ground, we actually had decent pace, but in the softer ground with the deep ruts we were losing quite a bit of time and it was frustrating. We will try to improve this for the future. Luckily, #rally Finland is next and I am sure this will be better, as we will have a good test beforehand."PROVISIONAL FINAL RESULT, #rally POLAND1Thierry Neuville / Nicolas Gilsoul (Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC)2h40m46.1s2Hayden Paddon / Seb Marshall (Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC)+1m23.9s3Sebastien Ogier / Julien Ingrassia (Ford Fiesta WRC)+2m20.8s4Dani Sordo / Marc Marti (Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC)+2m47.4s5Stephane Lefebvre / Gabin Moreau (Citroen C3 WRC)+3m11.8s6Teemu Suninen / Mikko Markkula (Ford Fiesta WRC)+3m16.8s7Mads Ostberg / Ola Floene (Ford Fiesta WRC)+3m39.6s8Elfyn Evans / Daniel Barritt (Ford Fiesta WRC)+4m39.1s9Andreas Mikkelsen / Anders Jaeger (Citroen C3 WRC)+4m43.5s10Juho Hänninen / Kaj Lindström (Toyota Yaris WRC)+4m53.7s20Jari-Matti Latvala / Miikka Anttila (Toyota Yaris WRC)+28m01.0sRetiredEsapekka Lappi / Janne Ferm (Toyota Yaris WRC)2017 FIA WORLD #rally CHAMPIONSHIP FOR DRIVERS AFTER ROUND EIGHT1Sebastien Ogier1602Thierry Neuville1493Jari-Matti Latvala1124Ott Tanak1085Dani Sordo826Elfyn Evans577Hayden Paddon518Craig Breen439Juho Hänninen3010Kris Meeke2713Esapekka Lappi202017 FIA WORLD #rally CHAMPIONSHIP FOR MANUFACTURERS AFTER ROUND EIGHT1M-Sport World #rally Team2592Hyundai Motorsport2373TOYOTA GAZOO #racing WRT1534Citroen Total Abu Dhabi World #rally Team117

What's next?

The next round of the World #rally Championship is #rally Finland from July 27-30. The gravel event is perhaps the most famous event on the calendar, popular for its spectacular high-speed stages along gravel forest roads lined by trees and featuring numerous jumps. All three Yaris WRCs will start the #rally, which is based in the city of Jyvaskyla, with Latvala, Hänninen and Lappi all taking part on home soil.
