"We had some electrical issues in the road section. We can't use fifth gear and every gear change is a pain, We will try to get it home."
SS2 La Cabanette / Col de Castillon (24.90 km)	16:17.6	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	91.7 km/h 0.27 s/km	26:49.1	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"It's the same. We will go back to service now to fix it properly. It's been a big challenge."
2. leg
SS3 Roure / Roubion / Beuil 1 (18.33 km)	10:02.7	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	109.5 km/h 0.44 s/km	36:51.8	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"A clean run. It's all we could for the moment and we are trying to keep the good performance. So far so good."
SS4 Puget-Théniers / Saint-Antonin 1 (19.79 km)	11:52.5	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	100.0 km/h 0.39 s/km	48:44.3	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"We are trying to learn and see how the car reacts to the changes. Step by step, there is still quite a bit to do."
SS5 Briançonnet / Entrevaux 1 (14.55 km)	8:39.7	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	100.8 km/h 0.62 s/km	57:24.0	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"No issues, I am just struggling quite a bit. It's tricky."
SS6 Roure / Roubion / Beuil 2 (18.33 km)	9:53.7	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	111.1 km/h 0.24 s/km	1:07:17.7	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"It feels okay, let's see at the end of this loop. For sure, there was much higher grip and it's not so bad."
SS7 Puget-Théniers / Saint-Antonin 2 (19.79 km)	11:46.2	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	100.9 km/h 0.38 s/km	1:19:03.9	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"We just need to be consistent. Generally the performance is missing a bit when it's a bit more pacey."
SS8 Briançonnet / Entrevaux 2 (14.55 km)	8:29.7	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	102.8 km/h 0.39 s/km	1:27:33.6	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"Quite a Tarmac rally which we don't normally see in Monte. From our side, the car is quite comfortable to drive but it's not, let's say, racey enough."
3. leg
SS9 Le Fugeret / Thorame-Haute 1 (16.80 km)	9:11.3	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	109.7 km/h 0.35 s/km	1:36:44.9	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"Let's see we are moving with the car and trying to find a bit more. Hopefully it's coming today a bit more."
SS10 Malijai / Puimichel 1 (17.31 km)	9:36.7	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	108.1 km/h 0.55 s/km	1:46:21.6	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"I I have no power steering. After 3km it started to go and now it's gone."
SS11 Ubraye / Entrevaux 1 (21.78 km)	11:45.4	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	111.2 km/h 0.45 s/km	1:58:07.0	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"It's still here. It's an internal issue but it's consistent. It's a bit hard work but it's driveable."

"[The power steering issue] seems also a bit temperature-related. When it gets twisty and in the last kilometres it's hard. But in the fast parts and straights it's not so bad."
SS13 Malijai / Puimichel 2 (17.31 km)	9:37.3	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	107.9 km/h 0.56 s/km	2:16:52.3	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"It was quite dirty. It's a difficult stage for me - this is the worst stage [for the power steering]. The next one is a bit faster so it should be better."
SS14 Ubraye / Entrevaux 2 (21.78 km)	11:56.5	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	109.4 km/h 1.21 s/km	2:28:48.8	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
4. leg

"I am just getting through at the moment. It's very tough for the tyres."
SS16 La Bollène-Vésubie / Col de Turini 2 (15.12 km)	10:20.7	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC	87.7 km/h 0.78 s/km	2:51:44.7	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"It's difficult to say at the moment but we will try for sure. It's quite hard for the tyres so [the power stage] will be challenging for sure."
SS17 Lucéram / Lantosque 2 (18.82 km)	12:51.1	12. 8. class RC1 12. WRC	87.9 km/h 1.81 s/km	3:04:35.8	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC

"It's the first stage I have tried to drive fast! We were very stupid on the previous one and we had to push on this one. I wouldn't say it was a great stage, we had a lot of understeer so I struggled with that, but we are here. It's a long season but it's a positive start - at least we have scored some points already not like the previous three years."
