Hirvonen gets a bit too much sideways (Finland 2007)

[Ryan992jr]

fucking boss 

[TheKoolyambur]

Is Markku Alen commenting the video? O_o

[deggis4]

@TheKoolyambur I think no...

[TheKoolyambur]

@deggis4 Well, I mean second speaker, who has been speaking after Mikko's "moment".

[deggis4]

@TheKoolyambur I understood, but I still don't think it's Alen... a bit similar sounding but Alen has a bit more distinct voice.

[amppa73]

It´s not Markku Alen, it´s Risto Mannisenmäki (Tommi Mäkinen´s ex- co-driver).

[Eppu97]

@TheKoolyambur I´m not sure but I think it was Risto Mannisenmäki, who was Tommi Mäkinens´ co-driver in 1998-2001.

[Ryderrri]

@Eppu97 Yeah I was thinking exactly the same that he sounds like Mannisenmäki.

[boundaryzero]

Announcer translation:

"Mikko Hirrrrrrrrvoneeeeeeen, that was close. That situation was so close, so close that it was in Gods hands"

[smokyislay]

@boundaryzero But he was wrong by saying that. It was in Mikko's hands. Anything else but a full throttle and it would have been a spectacular crash in front of the largest rally crowd in Finland.

[thekswervedirt]

We call that a "pucker moment" where I come from!!!

[henx87]

Mikko HiRRRRRrrrrrRRRvoonen!

[Portal2Rulez]

That language...so fast... just...wow...

[Jonzu100]

@Portal2Rulez :D

[MovimentoModerno1987]

ULTIMATE

[juissi243]

"kun kuviin saadaan sankan yleisö meren eteen Mikko hiirvOONEENN ja se on lähellää..." (Y) hyvä mikko!!

[Hannu151]

F1 may suck for WRC

[boundaryzero]

Ken BLOCK wouldve flipped his car 14x in that ditch....

[TheGeneralPain]

@boundaryzero You mean he would have rolled it sideways in a boring way and not be able to recorver the car afterwards. This is often the case with ken Block - cant even crash with style.

[mhossain21]

MIKKO HIRRRRRVVONNNAAA!!!!

[Deathwing2]

They should interview all the drivers in their own language and just put subtitles

[byf1864]

Gotta love Finland! :D What a crazy attitude here

[cmiccy1]

he spoke english before that happened

[xxxIronLeexxx]

Pause at 0:11. Amazing he pulled that out. A stock car driver would have jumped out the window.

[gameplay13]

wow even some estonian flags!

greetings from estonia

[boundaryzero]

1/2

Interviewer - "so Mikko, how did Ouninphoja go?"

Mikko - "well, maybe a little crazy, tried a little too hard, many situations where we were in the bottoms of ditches, wasnt perfect but I tried at least"

Interviewer - "did you get any information on how fast Marcus is coming up on behind you"

Mikko - "just at the end, we were in the front at first then we were tied and this last little roads section didnt go so well, driving a little carefully in the bottoms of ditches"

[Stiggy37]

Hilarious language! :D

[porsche626835]

10 finns had been dusted by MIIKKOO HIRRVONEEEEEN!!!

[djljuba82]

Finland drivers are best in rally . Tommi Makkinen is my idol ! greetings from Serbia ! A good save from Hirvonen Btw :)

[wastedgtb]

This guy would own Ken Block.

[SDAlsorts]

@wastedgtb this guy DOES own Ken Block! hahaa

[keeturbo]

Will these Americans please shut up about Ken Block.Ken block has to sit and learn like a grass hopper at these guys feet.American go watch turn left all the time Nascar and stop commenting about the WRC which non of you know about.

[wowisdagame]

@keeturbo people like you really welcome people who want to learn about it and are curious about a sport that isnt big in their country. sorry your life is so bad that you have to come on here and diss foreign people because they like to watch videos about a sport that pertains to you.

[eircamae86]

I couldnt be finish, cant speak a word

[Kraw1989]

DAMN, do finnish people speak that fast or its just my impression? :O

[dommp5]

he gave it the scandinavian flick!

[TheS4ndDirtY]

KEN BLOCK STYLE! maybe mikko have learn something in gymkhana practice

[fenrirthecount]

Wow, try that in an everyday car! Amazing control!

[BuenoSeraPerkele]

Ei vittu tuo huuto xD ''Mikko Hirrvoneeeen!'' :D

[predatortheme]

never escept a rally to be a planed like a plane flight ......

[Ankkatulppu]

mikko hirvoNENNN......

[jammydodgerman]

haha only ever heard Hirvonnen speak English before xD

[makattak88]

Finn's rule! I can vouch cuz I am!

[Copshootcop74]

Ari & Markku would be proud! Please win the championship this year! Loeb bores me with his neat braking and understeer, I will never like him, as rallying is about oversteer! :)

[Justyn74]

how can he drive so fast is amazing but how can he speak so fast is even more astonishing

[shortie0shaun]

good man he kept the shoe down

[najtrows]

Yes, alot of people say that.

[najtrows]

@xtelevisionset rally you mean?

[xtelevisionset]

No. That's not what I mean.

[najtrows]

okey, why are you talking about something that does not relate to this vid?

because its a rally clip.. WRC, World RALLY Championship.

[880316RR]

Dirt racing IS rallying.

[najtrows]

so you mean Rally then?

or are you just american?

[880316RR]

I'm Swedísh, so you can cut out the crap. Racing on dirt is Rallying, simple. Dirt Racing = Rallying. Where are you from?

[najtrows]

Well, Dirt Racing is driving whatever vehicle you have at your disposal on dirt.. fast..

Rallying is driving a Rallycar on dirt, tarmac, snow and gravel :)

[TheQneb]

@880316RR That's how it should be if you ask me.. Rally should be only raced on dirt / snowroads, no that black shit what we call asfalt in finland, dont remember whats in english and dont mind to check it out now.

[redster999]

still he is a bad ass driver

[davidoffon]

No I'm fine, my nappy has as special coolant that drips in.

[Coreytherocker]

WOW if he'd gone over that would have been a big crash flying into wat a 5th gear corner?? into a ditch :O would have been nasty !!!

[legeone]

credits to the Focus wrc..

[Flakloader]

mikko perkele ..!!

cheers from germany ..

[sothatswhathapppened]

[sasop117]

mikko hiiiiiiiiiiiiivenon!!!

[rainey06au]

Wow, that was insane! Amazing for him to keep his cool while the car is looking into the sky, don't roll, don't roll!

[futisman1]

He has balls! and big ones!!

[johnking4505]

And he probably never cracked the throttle the whole time. I wonder if the seat had a pinch mark.

[Ctrl952]

ojanpohja tai Ouninpohja.. melkeen sama asia..

[massey315]

Mikko hirVONEEEEEEEEN :D

[Ultrajuiced]

No, it's hiRRRRRRRRRRRvonen! ;D

[xXDarkXx92]

[yaroukh]

[kiselbob]

strange language suomi..

[LosAztecas]

Once every 1000 years God points his finger at a newborn baby and states: "This one shalt have balls carved out of granite!"

HiRRRRRRRRRRRRRRvonen has them.

[maximilianoo21]

[WorldAssassinprods]

@maximilianoo21 Yea mabybe but it takes fucking long to learn. Its so hard

[chillyzi]

@maximilianoo21 szilakajakala kolijojojo ;)

[PatrikVorg]

[Ritari2000]

[eltatayo1]

this guy has humungous balls!

[RonDeee1995]

drifting

[klousy58]

bring back the cars from the mid 80's they were real car not like the cars of today

[antiLeixo]

this new rally cars can go faster on the conners ;)

[benmk21600]

No shit!!!

[creationofsociety]

not much happens anymore cuz these are ''boring'' years compared to the 90ties , less rivalry , in the 90ties u had mcrea , burns , saintz , makkinen , gronholm , kankunnen , etc , all fighting for the championship , today it s or miko or loeb , less rivalry , less motivation , less risks they take !

[fschmidtpy]

yes it's true, the best wrc championchips was they from the 90's. this yeahr, the rallys are good, but there is no competition. just 2 work teams. And loeb is starting the year with winning every rally.

[freedomsoldier187]

not only that, the cars stop, and turn on a dime , they respond so well to correction an average driver could go sideways in 1 of these things and stay on the road, maybe not at the same speed, but yes its not as dangerous as the 90's and 80's

[CrashCobra]

funny language

[maxoffspring26]

I was on the 90° turn and i believed that he was out of the road. One of my best rally remember

[ka24240]

yes its dangrous but the rally cars are like bullet proof internaly look at travis pistranna how ever u say his name he rolled like 15 time not a scratch on him

[Franzel89]

oh fuck...wie krank is denn das?

respekt

[maidenfan95]

"Sitten saadaan kuviin Miikkooo Hiirrvvooneennn" :D

[drewp317]

WRC drivers are safer doing what they do than regular drivers on public roads

[dark777888]

i think that the danger is more for the spectators than for the drivers. no roll cages for the fans on the sides of the road.

[pumachileno]

this video remember to marko martin the most agresive driver in wrc, come back marko.

[CoupeLawd]

how is that dangerous? he has a roll cage nd a harnest nuttin happens rally drivers anymore

[sucsee]

Even though there are many safety increasing installations on the cars, they don't make the sport itself any safer. Still rallying (specially on high level with high risks) is one of the most dangerous sports, and Ouninpohja one of the most dangerous stages. The excitement shouldn't be on lifedanger but on the times and stakes drivers put on. Dramatic crashes and relievement when you hear that nothing happened -luckily.

Im Memoriam Michael Park, 2005.

[creationofsociety]

by saying that u prove u dont know shit about what ur talking about , every year rally drivers still die , even with newest material , why do u think there are so few ppl with balls big enough to do things like that !? idiot !

[MakuthePOtHead]

when did any rally driver die during a rally in couple of last years ?

[creationofsociety]

well not in the wrc but theres way more rallies then wrc , and for example dakar still loses drivers , and wrc also lost aload of drivers and co drivers in the past , and it can still happen , u ppl are acting like a rally car is in destructable wich it s not !

[MakuthePOtHead]

"in the past" ... i know nothing about other ralling so i am talking about wrc here. name some people who died during a wrc rally special stage in last 4 years...

[creationofsociety]

names ? idk exact names , i know for sure a co driver from team subaru died in 2003 , i know the co driver from gigi galli almost died when he crashed in 2008 , he didnt had a scratch but his side landed straight on the tree , like i said , stop thinking a rally car is indistructable!

[MakuthePOtHead]

i am not thinking so. its just much much safer then a standart road car. in a road car you have almsot no chance of surviving at all while in a rally car there is a slight possiblity of you getting killed

[samoorg]

Markko Märtin's codriver Michael Park died during a rally in 2005...

[tonittian]

ei lähelläkään

[merkuurRULZ]

w0w soo dangerous

[CulerBlass]

ave

[miniW]

Penkka jenkkaa :)

[Pasey611]

the reason loeb is winning almost every rally is because mikko's car is broking down all the time. flat tyres and so on

[rallyguy112]

the one who says Loeb isnt a great driver is either a ligher or a nuthead (him winning the WRC is the proof). But simply cant stand that mans attitude, he`s so stuck-up and everything...if you`d ask me who wins next year i would definately say mikko hirvonen though....

[GunnarPippel]

"HIRRRRRVONEEEEN"

[balle003]

insane save.... mikko is awesome.. was surprised he did not win in finlald.

[noppa33]

Tommi is still good driver, he's just too old. And Loeb is good driver, i don't deny that. But not the best.

[G0Dfather0815]

he is by far(!) not the best ;)

[calvinisgold]

my last names hirvonen

[Greddy147]

he is better than loeb :)

[Greddy147]

shit comment

[uncledirtdog]

oversteered dat one abit there mikko. hirvonen to win rally 08 and ford bp to win manufacturers 08!!!

[4leks1]

tänä vuonna meen taas ralliin

[92NB]

Mäki olin tuolla ja näin ihan livenä, toivottavasti Latvala ja Hirvonen pitää Löbbin takana tää vuos!

[te4s80txmt]

Awesome. Could someone translate what Mikko's saying, for this English-speaking fan?

[deggis4]

"How did the stage go?"

"Pretty scary, I tried too much and there were few situations. Not a clean run but I tried at least."

"How fast Marcus (Gronholm) is coming behind?"

"First we were faster, then he closed the gap. This last stage didn't go so well when I started to play safe"

"Did you enjoy Ouninpohja stage?"

"It is cool stage but it is so crazy that you can't enjoy it all the time"

[wowcswow]

thx for that ;)

[tbirdsubbin]

thanks dude

[narkkariankka]

Mikko on Mikko meikä oli kattomas ni kaikki oli valmiin jo menos työntää

[princedavid0]

wow that could have been a disaster. Go Ford!

[BeechSundowner]

..<b>Wow, nice recovery!!!!

[anon510]

that new focus is badass

[Juspegolf]

I will translate this to you guys:

Commentator: how did Ouninpohja go?

Hirvonen: It was rude, I tried little bit too much. There was many situation where we hang out in ditches. Not a clean driving, but I tried.

"speaking about times of others"

Commentator: Was it enjoyable driving in Ouninpohja?

Hirvonen: It's a sweet spot but it's so crazy road that I didnt enjoyed all the time.

[alex8912]

strong.

[theos16]

can somebody plz tell us what is he saying at the end of the stage??

[julien1722]

all the pilots are driving like that...the great pilot

[jmorgan480]

i was ther at that corner. he did well to pull out of a crash. he is the next tommi makonen and has proven himself in that rally

[Gruppob]

Agreed so many people doubt his abilities. BUt its obvious he going to be something great in the sport and the next champ within the next 5 years.

[metal666micky]

It is interesting as when he started out with subaru he was not very fast and made a lot of mistakes. However he was also very young and now he is the third best driver in the championship (as the standings testify) - has he peaked or will he get faster? Time will tell.

[rallymadkassam]

he will get faster

[InstinkTT]

Realy lucky! But nice pace during whole weekend!

[sinangundogan10]

Lucky boy.

[fordwrc2006]

DRINK DRIVING AGAIN!!
