Jännä että niitä ongelmia hybridin suhteen on kuitenkin enemmän Hyundailla. Toyotalla on harvemmin ja Fordilla myös. Sama tuote mutta miksi Hyundailla on jatkuvasti joku rikki???
Kruus [3:11]: In a way, I guess the car remained difficult for you until the end of the season? Why do you think it was your car that had problems with the hybrid system throughout the season? You were mentioning that often. The other Hyundai drivers didn’t mention it much. Why was it a problem for you that couldn’t be solved?
Tänak [3:28]: Difficult to say. I raised the issue myself as well but it seemed to be a different problem every time. Usually, the problems were not solvable by Hyundai. They were beyond our control and we couldn’t do much to avoid them.
Kruus [3:58]: Did you keep track of how many rallies were there where you didn’t have these problems on any of the days?
Tänak [4:02]: I’m not really into statistics. I haven’t looked into it.
Kruus [4:04]: Can you remember a rally where you didn’t have any of these problems, though?
Tänak [4:07]: I think there definitely were such rallies but I haven’t kept track of that.
Kruus [4:13]: Did you ever find out why it was only you that had these problems?
Tänak [4:16]: Well, since they seemed to be random problems without a specific cause, I guess they were just technical issues that sometimes happen. Why was it specifically us that had them, I don’t know.
This is an interview with Tänak. Rather, it's a translation from Estonian to English of the hour-long interview that was published on Dec 16th 2022.
