Diff, propshaft or a driveshaft. Now we have front-wheel-drive only. All we can do now is cruise through the rest of today's stages. | ||||||

"The conditions are very different to yesterday. The grip was very poor but my drive was all okay - a nice stage. After only two-wheel drive yesterday all we can do now is try and learn." | ||||||

It's getting better. One moment on a high speed section but okay, a good stage for us. Last year I was too slow here - you need confidence to push on. This time it was like a new stage for me. | ||||||

There is more gravel with every passing car. We are losing quite a lot of studs and overheating the tyres. It's a concern for last stage. | ||||||

This rally I haven't really done a mistake. Unfortunately we weren't able to finish in the points but overall really good. |
