#01 Christmas stories from Toni & Tomi

Finland that is the home country of the Suzuki's First driver Toni Gardemeister and his co-driver Tomi Tuominen is also home country of Santa Claus. Though there are few days before Swedish test in the early January after Monte Carlo test in the midst of December, both Toni and Tomi seem to have great Christmas days with their family.
A while ago they gave us some pictures and short stories.

This picture is taken by Toni at his home in the evening of the Christmas.

What a lovely room! Wow, Santa Claus is coming.

"I spent my Christmas with my parents, my sister and her family, my girl friend and her parents. We had a great time."

Are there any pictures shows you?

"No, I was a photographer during the day. As you know, children are stars."

That's right !

Here are some messages sent from Tomi.
'My family had Santa Claus too. My daughter Nanette was very excited! I had wonderful time with my wife and my daughter, my wife's parents and my parents.'

Christmas comes but once a year.

'Yes. One of the highlights is always the Christmas dinner. About Christmas presents, adults don't get many presents as contrasted to my daughter did. Too much I thinkJ. But most important thing is to make Christmas to be something special for children!'

You are excellent father, Toni!

Both crews must have had nice holidays.
By the way, did you receive any present?

'Toni's and my best present was contract with Suzuki! Maybe the best present in my life if we don't count time when I was a kid'

We are glad to hear that!
