"It's just going to get faster and faster - we had a lot of rain before the start. I was just trying to keep it tidy because if you go wide at the donuts you lose a lot of time. The real challenge will be tomorrow." | ||||||

"It's a left that opens and then the right after that comes very quickly. I think that's where Colin crashed a while back. For me, it was okay, but the tyres were shot at the end. The screen misted up and I couldn't see anything for the last 3km." | ||||||

"For me there was quite a lot of mud coming through. We had low grip and it seemed a bit like Wales, where the best place to be is first on the road. I was struggling in some of the slippery sections but it's okay." | ||||||

"It's bad. For me, the car felt better than the first one, but it's really hard to make the car do anything at all. It's really not nice." | ||||||
