Info
"One of the most amazing stages i've done in my life. We were very lucky, we hit a big rock with the front and then the left side. But we are here, that's the main point. The name is good for it!"
"I had to do the second part [recce] of the stage fully at night and the organizers didn't let us go in the morning."
Stopped at 20km, continued
Driving slow
"For sure. In one way, you push a little bit because you never know what happens in the front, but then I have a second place that I have to take care of for the championship."
"Perfect! No puncture, so perfect! Just to survive and keep our position. This is my first rally this season so it's important to have a good entry."
Stopped at 8km, continued moving
"Not great. What made it worse was the roughness and the windscreen washers pointing in the wrong direction."
"It's situations like that where you can do time by just driving clean. Incredibly tricky stage. I felt I took care of the tyres and not pushing hard when I could."
Lost hybrid at the start
"12 kilometers in.. I don't know how. I tried to be smooth and slow."
Puncture, rear right
"Yeah puncture.. I hit a big rock, it was a big mistake. Very lottery, rocks everywhere."
Puncture, front right and rear right
"That's a hell of a stage. I had a clean run through, but the muddy places at the beginning were really crazy. Just before the finish line we drove over a stone and we bent something."
"I was slow in that stage, I have no confidence. Rocks everywhere, grip very changeable.. just wanted to get through, which we did."
"Most difficult stage of my life. We had a lot of moments - we stalled, we had a stone in the middle.. maximum adrenaline!"
Puncture, rear right
"Very very tough, very demanding and lots of surprises with the mud. Got a puncture in the end, but we drove to the finish."
"Puncture, puncture.. I think generally it was fairly fine, just some sections were with big puddles and mud. Generally the grip is quite high."
Puncture, rear right
Slowed for animals at 8 km
Hit a zebra at 8km. Slight damage to the right front and windscreen.
