Harri has been a world class WRC driver himself.
Great to have a skilled teacher at home 🇫🇮.
Congratulations from USA 🇺🇸

Congratulations to Kalle for everything. From the Toyota Starlet back in his 8 years old to World Rally Champion at 22 years and one day. Ott Tanak deserves a very big ovation too. Not the first time he shows real fairplay and sportsmanship and it shows that not only he is a very fast and competitive driver, he is also a Human being with a capital H. Well done.

I am so happy for Jari-Matti; this championship must have been incredibly sattisfying for him, and he deserves it so much as a team manager. I hope Toyota, Latvala, and Rovanperä stay together for many more years.

Last time I saw Harri was at Graham Quick’s place in Hereford, Graham prepared his car for his outings in the U.K. At about the same time as he was looking after my car for the motoring news championship. Be about ‘87 or so. Seems Harri and Gwyndaff raised kids quicker than Dad. The beginnings of dynasties. Malcolm W started the trend when his son ran in WRC, and of course McRae senior was no slouch. Well deserved outcome, might be Evan’s Year in 2023, hope so.

That Finsih men are all so humble guys. Big respect.
