Citroen driver Dani Sordo has won the 2010 Arctic Lapland Rally after dominating the Finnish event. Sordo's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen put in an impressive performance, despite crashing on the first day, with a string of second fastest times throughout the event.
This was Raikkonen's first time driving the Citroen C4 WRC in competitive conditions and without yesterday's crash, he would have finished 6 minutes behind Sordo.
Raikkonen's co-driver Kaj Lindstrom commented after SS9: "The difference to Dani is now 0.9 seconds per kilometre.
"We know where the difference comes from, therefore it's a relief. It would be different if you had to think to yourself that you are going damn fast but still be behind, that would be worrying.
"We are still setting the car up so Kimi doesn't yet have 100% confidence in how the car behaves. It affects the way we go into corners. There's some early braking when there are shady places because we don't want to do anything stupid. That's where the differences in time easily come from. The notes will also improve once we see how fast we can go with a car like this into certain places." Lindstrom added to MTV3.
