Suninen: “My bosses asked me to adopt a better pace”

At least I think I demonstrated that the potential was there. » His boss Richard Millener agreed. “He had a tough start to the season, but we all knew what he was capable of. This third place is a result that will motivate him. He has completely recovered after disappointing rallies in Monte Carlo and Sweden. »
