Hi, friends!

Toyota refugee and super fast Finn Esapekka Lappi found himself a new home at Hyundai and he did that only because they offered him a full time drive this season while, at Toyota, he had to share the 3rd car with eight-time World Rally champion Seb Ogier, which is never a relaxing thing. 

He tested today with Hyundai and from the video we can only see that he is super-fired up. And that's good for him and his employer.

What to expect from Lappi this season?!
Wherever he went, he was good. But at Toyota, that was his best days if you ask me. He scored his only win with them. And now he must learn completely new car and the team and try to fight for the wins. 

OK, the good thing is that he is very motivated and without motivation, you are nowhere. The other good thing is that Korean manufacturer believes in him because they gave him a full season, and their long-term box Craig Breen got a part time season again. 

Frankly, Lappi is better driver then Breen but that's because of the pressure and Breen had the role of 1st driver at M-Sport Ford in 2022, and that wasn't good.

Lappi was never a 1st driver at the team he is neither this season because Thierry Neuville is the 1st violin there. 

This video is super interesting because it shows us that Lappi found the feeling with Hyundai i20 Rally1 car from the first test.

Enjoy these speeds... :)
