A sad ending to Lappi's rally... However, it's good to hear that both are OK...!

"It's not luck"
That's why he's a great driver.
He owns his mistakes.
It's sad to see him as dejected as he is, but I can completely understand how he's feeling and admire his maturity.

That'd be great if DirtFish could have him comment on the rest of the rally when he's feeling better.

I feel only you Colin could conduct an interview like this, well done and respectful. Poor bloke.

[jeraldjosey]

Dang Lappi one of my favorite drivers. I'm glad they're all OK.

[emiljai]

it's not luck -true word from great pilot

[GinoFoto]

So good to see him speak to us, chassis engineers done great once again.

Great to see both drivers ok.What a honest man he is admitting his mistake i wish all people were like him....
Heads up Esapekka, you are first of all honest man and second but not last GREAT driver, this thing happens in this sport this happens to all so HEADS UP and keep going, cant wait to see ya in greece next year.

Glad to see they are both OK and it's testament to the regulations and engineering of the teams to protect these guys.

Holy cow... that damage in the windshield send me shivers... just imagining if something went further in...

[CalinFR]

It wasn't even the concrete, it's the pile of dirt gathered against the wall of concrete when they prepared the road for the event. That pile of dirt if it had been softer, he would have plowed through it

[ΧρηστοςΚαρβελας]

My favourite driver used to have such crashes all the time ... i am happy both of you are ok!

[Thisisaweirdthingmakeusdo]

The fans love a bit of lappi, glad him and co pilot are ok x

[ieanmillward]

Glad their both ok. He’s totally gutted and we are for them both

[IK-dl]

I love seeing drivers taking responsibility for their mistakes

[sweetcorn]

That looks more like an i16.35 than an i20!

[yuniergarcia]

Lappy tiene mucho potencial. Espero que eso no dañe si estadía en hyundai,

[catchphase]

Ahhh... I was going to say if the roll cage is still fine, there's a famous Aussie saying: She'll be right! Evidently that's not the case. Glad the only injuries seem to be some pride, but Lappi appears to have been graceful about this, anyway. Mistakes happen, even with professionals. Good luck for the next rally, and hopefully you can get the car back together in time for it!

Colin great reporting ..love EP but while he has the speed he is struggling..also hard to watch this as poor Craig Breen really was unfortunate . Unfortunate with Ford as they thought he was the problem and Unfortunate with his accidnet when you see driver amd co walkway from this ..great reporting Colin I feel for EP

What is that pipe on top of the engine? Looks like 2 stroke exhaust pipe 😂
