Rally Updates from MTV3...


MTV3: Kimi drove out in a slow speed and the car wasn't damaged but it was stuck in the snow for a long time.

Kaj Lindström had to warn other cars and couldn't take part in the shovel-job.

- It was a half-spin after a jump. We had to drive 20 meters in the opposite directon and then use the handbrakes to pull the car around. There was snow on the windshield which made the windshield foggy before the heater started working. Kimi started moving slowly and said that he doesn't really see anything, he has to wait. At the same moment the car fell into a snowbank and there we were for a long time, Lindström told.

The shoveling took a long time from Kimi and they lost 26 minutes.

- The car has somekind of a garden-shovel that he used to get the car out of the snowbank. The guy did a hard work.

They thought they would get some help from the people that showed up but nobody helped.

- A Tv-crew came to film. They didn't help but they got everything on tape. Damn fine that they have it on film now. There was nobody watching, Lindström laughed.

Räikkönen: I didn't see the road

- The day was okay until I spun. After that I had to drive in the opposite direction and make a handbrake-turn. The windshield got filled with snow and fog. I drove very slowly because I couldn't see where the road was. Unfortunately the car got stuck beside the road, Kimi told.

- This is very difficult. Much more challenging than F1, Kimi admitted.
