It was clear that Esapekka Lappi and Janne Ferm felt completely at ease during Sunday's final leg at Rally Sweden this weekend.

Much like last year, the Finnish crew remained impressively relaxed throughout the final leg, this time securing an excellent second place with control and authority.

This runner-up spot was their first podium finish since joining Citroen and also their best result at this rally in only their third appearance here. This positive result also takes Esapekka Lappi up to fifth place in the championship standings.

After winning in Monte-Carlo, it's also the second podium finish this season for Citroen Total WRT, following a rally during which the C3 WRC stood out for both its competitiveness and its exemplary reliability.

Lappi's highly promising performance on only his second competitive outing in the C3 WRC followed a rally during which he gradually improved his pace.

Fifth at the end of day one, despite a spin that left him having to deal with a damaged aerodynamic package, Lappi then upped his pace on Saturday's leg. He gained three places, taking him into joint second position, before displaying even more convincing form on Sunday.
