Ott Tanak says his Rally Sweden victory was emotional after admitting he wasn’t expecting “too much” WRC RallySweden
Tanak managed to come through an intense head-to-head with Breen with the only hiccup a front-left puncture on Saturday’s stage 15 that luckily didn’t result in a hefty time loss.
"It is quite impressive. We could understand that we were never going to be the fastest but we were able to keep our average pace quite high and thanks to that and the guys around us doing some mistakes and being a bit inconsistent, that is how we maximised our chances.“For sure, we can improve a lot this year and it is up to the guys how fast we can do that, but the plan is to pick up. Hopefully, when we get things rolling, we can be a bit more competitive.
“Everybody has done a good job but we were not the fastest car and to be honest Ott has just done an incredible job,” Wilson told Motorsport.com. “I’d never lost it [the belief] but it is difficult for the guys and girls involved. It is great we can achieve a result like that early on.
