HE'LL YEAH BROTHER

Pro tip: in Sweden most people say USA or Amerika (Hälsningar från USA) instead of translating United States to swedish

@@mtndew4746 true but I like being more literal

Just sad to think about it, From the 205T16 that was famously known to put an end to the Audi quattro dominance in the AWD system during the group.B era, to the epic comeback of Peugeot in the 206 and being so dominant during the early 2000, to a literal shitshow and a absolute joke of a 307.

Not only him, Harri did too, it did have a lot of handling and power steering issues, not to mention Peugeot's idea of making it a 4 speed car and using the coupe version and not the hatchback like they did with the 206, it went better the next year when they changed the transmission for a 5 speed but that was when Peugeot and Citroen left wrc

​@@Snarfieincluding the tragedy of Michael Park in Wales back in 2005

Not the first race, but the first day of the Rally GB 1998. Makinen retired after his car hit a road marker, breaking his car's suspension. So he thought the championship was lost because Carlos Sainz was still running - until the very end.

To provide some additonal info alongside that comment 10 months ago, the cheaty turbo was 1995.

Grönholm ei ole suomenruotsalainen.

@@AivottajaOnhan. Kotonaan on aina puhunut ruotsia. Isänsä Uffe puhui hyvin huonosti suomea.

@@latexivaooo6607Ruotsinkielisyys ei tarkoita, että henkilö on suomenruotsalainen. Se on aivan oma valinta. Koska Grönholm on sanonut olevansa suomenruotsalainen?

@@AivottajaTiedätkö ketään ruotsinkielistä suomalaista, joka on selvästi sanonut, ettei pidä itseään suomenruotsalaisena?

@@latexivaooo6607Tiedän.

I think that driver is Harri Rovanperä (Kalle Rovanperä's dad), not Tommi Mäkinen.

I remember that they invited Makkinen to the Best Motoring show with his WRC Subaru car but not on a Mitsubishi

Harri and some Japanese tennis player.

@@haba3000 I remember the time when Harri was just Harri a WRC rally winner and not someones dad lol

@@sneakysnake4466 I also remember him as a good WRC-rallydriver in the early 2000's.

couldn't keep up the charade 😅

True finnish way "oh well" lmao

He had the mustache of a man with nothing to lose.

Margarets?

Tiitsher

Yeah, was about to say same, WRC's Kimi <3

that really got me ;D

those pirellis aint as round as his r's

Rallys original Kimi Räikkönen for sure.

@@MrMedalice That's right. Juha Kankkunen has later explained that tyre choice is part of the rally strategy so, of course, he's not going to tell publicly which tyres he'll be using. Kimi once said about his race strategy that he'll be going to drive around the track when asked about it in the press conference.

Henning is such a funny guy

Marcus tommi kimi mika all give great straight to the point interviews. Must just be the finnish way. No bullshit just say what u thinking n hell to anyone who dont like it.

Question out of curiosity: Given the long history/legacy/presence of Swedish in Finland, I know Swedish is an official language in Finland and even Finland has their own Swedish-speaker Finns, which I assume have mostly Swedish last names. Now, is it a thing Finnish-speaking Finns to have Swedish last names? I ask because Grönholm despite having a Swedish last name, his accent sounds REALLY Finnish.

​@@ivanmacgar6447 im finnish speaking fin and my last name is swedish. It's not very uncommon to have a swedish last name, even if you only speak finnish. The last name doesn't really tell you which language you speak.

@@urdad5824 thanks for the info. I expected it to be a bit more clear cut, but I get it. I currently live in Belgium (not a Belgian though) and here it's not uncommon to find Dutch-speaking Belgians with French last names or French-speaking Belgians with Dutch last names. Ofc not the most common thing, but it is a thing as well.

AP IN TÖ ÄSS OF TIMO

Turpa kii

Funnily rally English exists as we indeed are different. English and many other European languages are Germanic or slavic. But Finnish language comes from Urals.

We are different for 10000% sure.

It's interesting how your people don't brag. They're not chanting 'Finland/Suomi' a million times all day all night long unless if Finland wins. And if I asked you for example 'so how does it feel to have won for Finland?' you'd be like 'thank you, it doesn't change my life alot'. I know Finland and Finns let the work do all the talking. Being a F1 fan myself I noticed this is how Kimi Räikkönen is. A long long time ago, my country, the USA, had a President called Theodore Roosevelt, who famously said 'speak softly and carry a big stick'. Never underestimate the power of quietness and Finland is displaying this in buckets. Finland doesn't have to say anything, just do. :) Motorsports wise the USA isn't taking that award, this American has to award it to Finland for letting the work do all the talking and bringing the good results. And love your brutal honesty, you tell it like it is. And the humility (this is used in English speaking countries, I've heard that Finland refers to this same concept as modesty) you all have. Down to earth and not showboating the awards and good results. America and the rest of the world could learn from Finland with these qualities.

😂😂
