The bonnet opened in the middle of the previous stage. It's hard. We need to go higher with the car and change the tyres. We used soft compound in the morning and we lost a lot. | ||||||

It was OK. We changed the car and it's little bit different. We didn't do the previous stage so we have to learn the car. | ||||||

Very good stage. There was a lot of dust, in some corners we didn't see nothing. The car is OK. The morning was not very good for us, but in the afternoon everything went well. | ||||||

I can't describe. First day was terrible, wrong tyres, punctures and so on. But it was my first time here so it was not so bad. |
