| Stall | ||||||
| The car stalled, wheels locked, no idling at all, it stalled and didn't restart, we must have lost 8-10 seconds, the time would have been good. | ||||||

| It was good but it feels the car doesn't have strength to go fast. Quite good time still. [5 seconds to Carlos] is not much. | ||||||

| This [car] does nothing but stalls in every junction. We had to push the car to get it running, we lost easily 20 seconds, I lose my nerves with this machine! It stalls instantly if I press the clutch and didn't restart because the battery is empty. [It happened] in the tight junction halfway through. It's not going well now. | ||||||

| Now these couple of last stages have been quite good, in Sahalahti we went into a field but if we come safely the times are quite good. | ||||||

| Yeah it started going well. It felt a bit in the end that I could have gone faster at the and, we took it safely but the time is really good, maybe the beginning went well. Let's say we didn't go completely on safety side because we tried to catch Basti (Lindholm) and keep Didier behind, small pushing, but with healthy pace. Now there wasn't any tight junctions, we still have a risk of stalling in them. And there shouldn't be any tight junctions on the remaining stages! | ||||||
