Love to see TM smiling

[@somename7381]

It's nice to see Tommi so relaxed and almost jolly nowadays.Fact to the matter is unfortunately,that like we see in this video, two things only time will tell: When did Jouhki and Tommi decide to sign Kalle, and more importantly, for how long will Kalle be the King of WRC

[@EiraAimo]

I bet its summer 2017 when Toyota had just started its first season in WRC, Kalle had announced hes going pro and started in WRC2 and with Jonne also as a go-driver. Everything was ready.

[@EiraAimo]

Or summer 2017 they had the deal signed but like they say on the video, they knew long before that.

[@hkj73]

The Best decision made was hiring Tommi as Toyota WRT manager. The Best decision Tommi did was signing up Kalle to drive for Toyota. The worst decision Hyundai did was letting go of Adamo!! M Sport, emmmm...

[@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833]

Tommi such an amazing talent and all around nice guy and if he says wow about a driver we know it’s something special

[@damarfadlan9251]

So nice to see Makinnen being this relaxed.

[@SLINKY7785]

Tommi was my childhood hero and I’m always happy to see him

[@kena658]

Mia Miettinen, Tommi's wife. Never seen Tommi this relaxed n happy👍👍

[@f00lxpl]

„He was faster than nobody” I like that ❤

[@MentalParadox]

Good to see Tommi again.

[@ACorpseWithoutSoul]

Toyota is best car and Kalle is best driver. So he can win very many world championship for row.

[@hughcdavies]

I'm sure Kalle will win more World Championships than Tommi. Whether they will all be in a World Rally Car, I'm not so sure. He's said himself Rallying is not his only goal. What an incredible talent he has.

[@salsarriba5695]

unique content from dirtfish, getting used to it hah!

[@chelseapensioner]

Evidently Tommi is so much more laid back when he's drunk.

[@jobkibuga8268]

Kalle is tiger woods in his young prime. He will need alot of mentors for guidance.

[@sdry]

Well think allmost every finnish rally legend around him will help.

[@garinakbar1907]

TM is like Andrew Cowan. His team boss at Mitsubishi

[@salsarriba5695]

yeah, !

[@siviunative5241]

As long as Kalle has a good car, he'll beat the Sebs records

[@VarioFelce]

I don't think so, time will tell

[@test-tl8dt]

@@VarioFelce kalle is younger at his first title, at the top of the world than loeb was when he first started racing in a saxo. all records are easily beatable if he continues this upwards trajectory. he can have loebs records beaten at under 30 with some luck. for the sake of the sport i hope not, and wish its going to be more competitive. but yeah, if all he has to work against is the ever failing hyundai and m sport he has already multiple titles in the bag for sure.

[@j.s.p]

@@test-tl8dt W comment. Kalle is indeed the new GOAT of WRC.

[@ducedevlstear2471]

One thing we cannot predict is if we soon don't get someone younger, more talented.

[@j.s.p]

@@ducedevlstear2471 Dude stop underestimating the kid. He is a champion at the age of 22 when others were 27 yrs old & above. Kid's special. Accept it. End of.

[@j.s.p]

Kalle Rovanpera the new WRC GOAT 🐐

[@ducedevlstear2471]

That title is extremely childish.

[@j.s.p]

@@ducedevlstear2471 Nah, it's just a fact that he will takeover from Loeb imo.

[@ducedevlstear2471]

@@j.s.p whenever I read that about that goat title it comes from desperate Rossi and Hamilton types. It is extremely childish.

[@j.s.p]

@@ducedevlstear2471 Mate, with all the respect, but idc. I'm just here to witness greatness in the sport. Kalle is the best thing that happened to the WRC for a long time & especially for the Finns.
