Finn Esapekka Lappi overtakes Hyundai in the World Rally Championship.
Lappi said on Friday To Ylethat decisions should be made quickly, but did not know how to assess schedules more precisely.
Lappi himself stated that he was fit to drive. According to him, money also certainly affects decision-making.
“If it’s purely about money, then the rally will be driven by force. If you think about humanity, it’s a different story,” he reflected to Yle.
“Everyone knows that, unfortunately, in many cases, money is the deciding factor.”
