Info
"Doesn't matter if you win the stage or not. So many rocks. Just pure gamble. Main goal today is to protect the 2nd place, good for the championship."
"I saw the video of Thierry hitting a rock and then I just kept the car as straight as possible."
"It hasn't been an easy loop. Driving so carefully and it feels like making more mistakes than driving normally. Very soft here and lots of loose stones. No issues for us."
"It's quite bad actually. Lot of big big rocks everywhere and in the line. Not so happy to see those already. We will try to manage."
"I've been slowing down a lot, I had info about a huge rock and slowed down for that."
"Was a clean enough run. So many huge stones in the line, sometimes very close. Sometimes it's a lottery like that."
"Loose stones! I don't know where they came from, two of them! I had to slow down to get the car back!"
Rear right suspension broken
"We lost the Hybrid so we don't have it all the time. The pacenotes were too careful, we want to finish."
"I spun in here and reversed. Yeah.. some car in the front has put massive stones on the road. In a 4th gear corner I spun and reversed. It was in the middle of the first part."
"Transmission finished! It was a good decision to drive yesterday! (sarcastic)"
Powertrain issues, driving slow
"This stage is quite nice and flowing, but soft underneath and zero traction. We had some knock off from the brake pads and that was scary."
