Nebýt chyby, kdy jsme ztratili spustu drahoceného času, mohli jsme vyhrát. To je ale už na úrovni spekulací, jsme v cíli a spokojení. Uvidíme v Řecku.
Snažil jsem se, co to šlo, ale nakonec to dopadlo tak, jak to dopadlo. Škoda, ale pro tým je to důležitý přísun bodů, tak zkusíme vyhrát na další rally. Jinak jsme spokojení jak s autem, tak s pneumatikami.
Dojel jsem 6tý, jsem spokojený, máme nějaké body, uvidíme co ve Finsku.
Bude velice těžké dohnat ztrátu, kterou jsme v šampionátu nabrali, nejsem spokojený, ale nakonec si za to můžu já.
Problém byl v zapalování, ztratili jsme tlak paliva, zkoušeli jsme ho opravit, došlo i k malému požáru, ztratili jsme 40 minut a bylo po nadějích. Gratuluji Michalovi a snad se nám bude na příští rally dařit víc.
Je mi líto Martina, dnešek nebyl lehký, ale nakonec jsme dojeli na druhém místě v domácí soutěži a jsme strašně šťastní.
První vítězství, jsme šťastní, bylo to neuvěřitelně těžké a já jsem víc, než jen šťastný.
Sbírám zkušenosti a nakonec mám i důvod k úsměvu po prožitém víkendu, který nebyl lehký.
Na autě jsme vyměnili spoustu věcí a doufám, že v Řecku se nám bude dařit lépe.
Tak z bezpečnostních důvodů se ani nedivím, že byla tato RZ zrušena lidi bylo mnoho a stáli na opravdu stupidních místech.
Po pátku to vypadalo nadějně, ale teď nevím, co bych k tomu řekl. Opravdu. Doufám, že už brzo budeme mít nové auto.
Konečně jsme dovezli auto do cíle, jsme rádi za tým, určitě to bude těžké i na další rally v Řecku.
(Aavovi aplauduje fan club...) Jsem celkem zklamaný, čekal jsem víc.
Colin: Tak Henningu, podle úsměvu je vidět spokojenost... H.S: Ano, dařilo se a jsem před bratrem, takže spokojenost.
Tak samozřejmě, bylo to těžké, tratě náročné, ale nakonec jsme zvítězili, takže jsme spokojení.
Po nešťastném prvním dni jsme zabrali a teď bych potřeboval sprchu. Jsem rád za body pro tým, ale čekal jsem víc.
SS16
Problémy s palivovým systémem<
It is good but hard. I went flat-out all the time.
Something positive? I am going home this night... I do not know if we use the same car or the new one in Greece.
My time is not bad and my performance is better and better. But Galli is faster.
I would like to bring some good points for the team. But it is not enough for the podium.
Jari-Matti is still very close us. We will try to go flat-out. I want to be second at least.
We pushed quite hard. But we could see from the splits that we cannot catch Sebastien. Regarding our fight for the second place - I do not want to take any stupid risk.
There is still one short stage to go. I am going to take it easy. This was a good stage, I am leading - so, I am very happy.
Jari-Matti is pushing hard through the stage, he hit the bank but the car is not damaged.
SS14
We need to push more. It is a great battle with Martin.
It was not so bad, but roads were very rough with a lot of bumps.
We are trying to use different car's setting to get our confidence back. / Zkoušíme jiné nastavení auta, abych mu mohli znovu důvěřovat.
Last stages were very tough. We want to finish the rally.
I am not happy with my driving today. The car is OK, the problem is in myself. We will try to push.
I try to drive... We have a problem with gearing, I had to use manual gearing few times. Yesterday, we were very lucky that we escaped a big accident - it happened in very fast downhill section.
It was the same as during whole weekend. We had problems with the gearbox. I did not go fast throw wattersplashes but watter came somehow in the car.
I was simply trying to drive in the middle of the line. We had problems with steering which caused problems when going over bumps. There were big watersplashes but no drama at all.
Everything is perfect (but Petter looked very frustrated).
No problem, the previous stages were very tricky and I have to be precise in driving. It is OK and we have good weekend with the car.
I am happy with my performance. I do not want to take any risk, now.
Hi ignored the interviewer because he was talking with the team.
I was pushing very hard on the first stage. On this stage, there were massive rocks and I did not want to risk a puncture. There are still three stages to go. We will have last chance on the next stage.
How to catch Galli? Yes, everything is possible. At the start of this stage, my feeling was good. It is OK, we will see.
Sordo is 15 seconds behind us - yes, it is not enough. If you make one mistake, we can lose everything. There is a lot of loose gravel.
I do not know, Seb was going well. Maybe the problem is in my head, because I was little bit careful sometimes. Mikko had great time, but we have to fight until the finish.
We went flat-out on both stages. Ok, we have to push and try to be so fast as we can everywhere. In the middle of stage, it was quite sliperry and the grip was small.
SS12
Second retirement (technical) -> SuperRally
I am so far from the TOP. Now, it is the learning rally for me.
We changed tyres after the long stage (SS11). We had to turn-off ALS.
We damaged a bumper after a quite big jump and heavy landing.
Henning is singing some Norwegian song :-)... I had some problems on the long stage, but it was my fault.
I try to keep my situation under control. It will be tough tomorrow and I must keep concetration. For sure, it will not be easy.
I was pushing hard. Our position is good.
Tomorrow, it will be very tough fight with Jari-Matti.
Definitely, I am looking forward to the new car. For us, it is very hard.
I am still in the lead, that is not so bad. I tried to push hard but there was a lot of gravel. My feeling is good, we will see tomorrow.
SS11
Stopped in the stage.
SS10
We jumped little bit high but we have no problem.
We have a puncture on the right rear wheel and maybe we damaged our suspension.
We had problems with intercom. I could not hear codriver pacenotes.
This stage was good.
No problem, the car is perfect. We did not any changes in the service. Of course, you can always go faster in the afternoon during second run.
It is OK, no problem. We pushed more than in the morning.
Maybe I cut one corner too much (he came with the smashed bumper).
We were pushing hard but we hit something and our windscreen is little bit damaged. It is bad for view.
I was going flat-out.
Petter did not stop in the interview area.
It is better and I feel more confident. I am happy.
It was not so bad, I had more grip and I am quite happy with conditions - more than in the morning.
SS9
"Vybral jsem špatné nastavení vozu, auto je moc měkké což způsobuje špatné chování vozu na doskocích.
"Jedeme moc opatrně, budeme muset zatlačit.
Nejsem spokojen s nastavením auta., info2 = I am not happy with the setup of car, can't get the right confidence.
Máme problém s brzdami, pedál má moc dlouhý krok, nevím co se děje., info2 = We have brake problems, the brake pedal goes too long, don't know what happened.
SS8
Puncture
SS7
"Něco jsem trefil, nejspíše nějaký kámen. Snažím se zatlačit ale není to jednoduché.
SS5
Broken driveshaft -> Super Rally
SS4
Stojí na trati
We were 4 minutes late out of service because of some hydraulics problems, but we discovered this too late
Toni was 3 minutes late out of service, so we had to swap our positions. Everything is OK this afternoon
After the service, the car is much better now.
We had to change our setup and also the dampers. I am more confident now.
We hit a rock on the front left, but hopefully nothing serious.
The car is working quite good now I have to say.
When you drive in front of your people, you try to drive even better than on other rallies.
We lost some time in the morning, but it is a long rally and we just try to keep the car on the road. Its still possible to drive onto the podium, but we cannot afford any more mistakes
I am trying to avoid punctures and I drive carefully. I'm pushing, but not too hard./ Snažím se neudělat defekt a jedu trochu opatrněji. Sice tlačím, ale ne úplně na maximum.
The road does look pretty the same like this morning. We havent changed anything on the car.
SS2
I had a spin in one narrow turn.
We lost pressure in the diffs and we are driving in save mode. But we need to drive as much kilometers as possible.
It wasn't too bad, we had a problem with the handbrake again. But was a good stage i like that. There are a lot of big rocks on the side of the road, you have to be careful not to hit them. / Nebylo to špatné, měli jsme opět problémy s ruční brzdou. Byla to ale dobrá zkouška, mám takové rád. Vedle trati je hodně velkých kamenů a musíte si dávat pozor abyste o ně nerozbili auto.
The car is massively understeering, we will need to make some changes to the car.
The stage gets very narrow at the end and we hit slightly something. Butr no damage to the car.
Po dojetí co cíle s nikým nechtěl mluvit
Havárie
No problems, was not that bad.
It was just a small puncture, we hit a bank and we did 20km with the puncture and the tire was working quite OK.
The track has completely after the recce, but a good start.
In a downhill corner we hit a bank and made a puncture. It was my mistake.
I could not really push, the conditions are very tricky.
Was very slippery in some places, but very good grip on other places. You had to find a good rhythm for every corner.
Nothing is wrong, we just were simply driving slower than Seb.
SS1
Quite clean run, it was OK, car was working really well
I was very careful, but it was good, no problems so far.
Things seem to be quite good although I had not too much time to prepare with the new co=driver
We are really struggling, car is understeering a lot.
Stage was very nice to drive. I'm quite happy. / To byla dobrá zkouška, jsem spokojen.
My start position is not good. There is quite a lot of loose gravel on the track. We have to change the setup on the dampers.
I tried to push hard enough. But I had to be careful on the brakes, because the next stage will be very long.
Was not easy, I have to risk. Its quite difficult without testing, but I'm satisfied. / Nebylo to jednoduché, musel jsem riskovat. Je to pro mě těžké, jet bez jakéhokoliv testování, ale jsem spokojen.
I have problems with understeering of the car, but otherwise I'm happy./ Mám problém s nedotáčivostí, ale jinak jsem spokojen.
It is a good start. Very technical stage and also tricky. I am getting a bit advantage from the road position, I dont need to clean the road.
It is really slippy and narrow, but no problems on stage.
Time compared to Mikko is very good, but he lost most of it in only one section. It was very slippery, narrow and tricky. Our tire coumpound is maybe too hard.
It was so bloody narrow and slippery, I could not drive fast.
