Stage results
1. leg | Time | Pos. | km/h | s/km | Overall | Pos. after | |
SS1 SSS St. Wendeler Land (5.20 km) | 2:41.9 | 9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC | 115.6 | 0.48 | 2:41.9 | 9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC | |
"The feeling was fine - I touched something on the inside of a corner and was worried that I had a puncture so I was a bit careful. The time is okay - it will be a long rally." | |||||||
SS2 Stein und Wein 1 (19.44 km) | 10:51.2 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | 107.5 | 0.56 | 13:33.1 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | |
"I am struggling a bit with understeern on the corner entries. I wish we were a bit faster!" | |||||||
SS3 Mittelmosel 1 (22.00 km) | 12:35.8 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | 104.8 | 0.43 | 26:08.9 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | |
SS4 Wadern-Weiskirchen 1 (9.27 km) | 5:07.3 | 5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC | 108.6 | 0.40 | 31:16.2 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | |
We have to keep working and maybe improve the car a bit on entry. That will give me a good feeling in the car and allow me to keep up the speed in the corners - that's what I think I am missing. | |||||||
SS5 Stein und Wein 2 (19.44 km) | 10:55.2 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | 106.8 | 0.47 | 42:11.4 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | |
"I should be faster. I don't really have that bit of confidence, especially where the grip is changing with the gravel. It was a clean stage, the car felt a bit better so it is something to build on." | |||||||
SS6 Mittelmosel 2 (22.00 km) | 12:33.5 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | 105.1 | 0.25 | 54:44.9 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | |
"It was okay. Somehow, I am faster in this stage than in the previous even though I feel like the driving was similar." | |||||||
SS7 Wadern-Weiskirchen 2 (9.27 km) | 5:07.5 | 3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC | 108.5 | 0.24 | 59:52.4 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
I tried to adjust my driving a bit - basically just braking a little bit earlier. I still think it is more optimal to brake a little bit into the corner but we are not there at the moment. I wish we were in the fight at the front but that's how it is - we will keep on working. | |||||||
2. leg | |||||||
SS8 Freisen 1 (14.78 km) | 8:38.4 | 9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC | 102.6 | 0.70 | 1:08:30.8 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
"We tried to push hard. I went into the field and lost many seconds! The car is fine." | |||||||
SS9 Römerstraße 1 (12.28 km) | 6:01.7 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | 122.2 | 0.35 | 1:14:32.5 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
"I am pushing. It's hard to say where all that time lies - I don't know!" | |||||||
SS10 Freisen 2 (14.78 km) | 8:39.8 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | 102.4 | 0.55 | 1:23:12.3 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
"We are trying everything we can. It was hard to do a lot more at the moment. Obviously the driving can be better but we are working on it." | |||||||
SS11 Römerstraße 2 (12.28 km) | 6:05.9 | 10. 10. class RC1 10. WRC | 120.8 | 0.49 | 1:29:18.2 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
"I went slightly off at the beginning - on a left-hander we were in a ditch. I am struggling a bit at the moment. I am trying to get my head around it." | |||||||
SS12 Arena Panzerplatte 1 (10.73 km) | 6:11.7 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | 103.9 | 0.55 | 1:35:29.9 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
It's very difficult to see the grip because it is changing so much. We had a clean stage - the next one will be tough. | |||||||
SS13 Panzerplatte 1 (41.17 km) | 23:44.9 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | 104.0 | 0.43 | 1:59:14.8 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
"It was not really perfect. A clean stage but for sure I could attack much more. It's hard to know how to drive this stage so the second pass should be much better." | |||||||
SS14 Arena Panzerplatte 2 (10.73 km) | 6:08.6 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | 104.8 | 0.40 | 2:05:23.4 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
"We had an okay stage - quite easy to get a puncture in there so I tried to be a bit careful over the nasty places. A nice warm up for the next one, it will be a nice stage." | |||||||
SS15 Panzerplatte 2 (41.17 km) | 23:35.8 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | 104.7 | 0.44 | 2:28:59.2 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
It's been alright - we have got through. I would like to be much faster than we are but we are working on it and it's not easy. Let's see for tomorrow. | |||||||
3. leg | |||||||
SS16 Grafschaft 1 (28.06 km) | 16:34.9 | 9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC | 101.5 | 0.67 | 2:45:34.1 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | |
"I went off and had to find my way back in again. After that, the rhythm was not really good. We have to reset and try again." | |||||||
SS17 Dhrontal 1 (11.69 km) | 7:40.1 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | 91.5 | 0.43 | 2:53:14.2 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
"We had a clean run, I was not really happy with the beginning of the stage. I am just trying to drive at my own pace where I feel good." | |||||||
SS18 Grafschaft 2 (28.06 km) | 16:24.1 | 9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC | 102.6 | 0.55 | 3:09:38.3 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | |
"I don't mind so much to be honest. My focus is to stay in front of Seb so I drove quite clever in this one. We will see in the next stage." | |||||||
SS19 Dhrontal 2 [Power Stage] (11.69 km) | 7:37.7 | 9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC | 91.9 | 0.64 | 3:17:16.0 | 6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC | |
"We are taking steps but we are still not really perfect. It will be good in the end - we will just have to keep on working. I drove at an okay pace on this stage to keep Ogier behind." |
