"We know on a rally like this, anything can happen. I enjoyed driving the car in Portugal - it seemed to work well in the slippery conditions. It's even more slippery here, so I'm confident the car can do it." | ||||||

"This one was okay. It's cleaning a lot so I probably should have been a bit quicker. It's the first time I've mixed tyres with this car so I'm learning that as well." | ||||||
