no, not another video we've all seen loads of times before,

never heard of him in the WRC

I fear I'm too old (40) to appreciate the brash poses, sideways baseball caps and swagger of today"s youth...

I much prefer the understated Finns who pop in occasionally, wipe the floor with the entire field at a North American rally, then quietly and humbly heap praise on the local talent and rally organizers during their victory interviews.

I don't get the understated Finns. One reason why I'm disappointed when Kimi wins in F1. Give me Rubens any day, at least he shows it means something to him. Kimi just says how the set-up was nice and it was a "good" race. I still think F1 drivers should walk out onto the grid looking unkempt with a couple of tasty sorts and an empty bottle of champagne under each arm Preferably calling the other drivers "an absolute shower" in the process.

Well, at 40 years old, you are younger than the aforemnetioned "today's youth"!

I know what you mean, but if you have spent your whole life being a certain person and acting a certain way, then it's not such a bad thing, is it?
