SS16
It's been a good race for us, we just managed perfectly, we pushed when we could, careful when rough. At the end just perfect. / Byla to pro nás dobrá soutěž, zvládli jsme to suprově, tlačili jsme, když to šlo, jeli jsme opatrně, když to bylo nutné. Na konci naprosto perfektní.
We had to turn around in the stage...now we can go for some more speed in Finland...
Fantastic...good feeling, the boys have done good work...I am looking forward to Finland..
It'll just be what it is...it's been a fantastic opportunity and thanks to Malcolm for the chance.../ Je to tak, jak to je. Byla to fantastická příležitost a děkuji za tu šanci Malcolmovi.
I need more mileage to get my confidence back.
Yesterday, on the last stage, it all went wrong...same old story...relax and go to the beach
It's a new experience...you can't be away from WRC for 2 years and be fast immediately. / Je to nová zkušenost, můžete nejezdit ve WRC 2 roky a být okamžitě rychlý.
SS15
It was a good stage for us...happy...Thierry was quite fast and we had to drive fast to beat him...
I was in some places carefully as I do not wish to make a crash...
No risk. Better to take the fourth place than....things happen sometime in rally..
I didn't want to take massive risks...Manufacturer points! / Nechtěl jsem zbytečně moc riskovat. Důležité jsou body pro továrnu!
We just drive to the finish...there is nothing else to do Pro nás je to teď trochu jednodušší, jízda do cíle, na těch předchozích dvou rychlostkách jsme ještě něco zkoušeli, ale teď už chceme jen přeskákat ty kameny a dojet do cíle.
Now we've got some time back...I would like to get some [more] seconds back... / Teď máme nějaký čas zpátky, rád bych získal další vteřinky...
At the end of the day I am here to do a job for the team, and we need to keep an eye on getting to the finish..
Østberg says he met a bull in the stage...says the bull had a good spectator position in the middle of the road.
The shock absorber on the rear right is not working...very difficult, I cannot push...make sure we get to the end...
Much better, now at least I am driving at some reasonable speed and enjoying it more...
SS14
We think about the Power Stage and save our tyres for it.
- Mikkelsen went wide in a slow corner and has broken the suspension on the Polo R WRC
We landing in the car line, little bit lucky, sorry for him, I need to improve, the car is working better in traction, in 4th place, all right
I didn't see him, we are happy with everything. Just keep the rythm. / Neviděl jsem ho (Mikkelsena), jsme se vším aktuálně spokojení, jen udržujeme rytmus.
Crew OK
We have to take care...
Stopped in stage
Tricky stage that...we'll just take care now...don't want to take any risks.../ Zrádná zkouška, snažíme se teď šetřit auto, nechceme nic riskovat.
It is better, but I don't know, I care little bit tire, we have good progress. / Je to lepší, ale nevím, snažím se pošetřit pneumatiky, myslím, že máme dobrý progres.
It was ok, but slow.
It is not so bad, quite ok actually.
SS12
Everything is perfect, it is really long day, we just have to stay focused.
I went a bit wide at a junction...[and] the jump was a little big, I had to take the temperature all the time...
It is really difficult to drive, it is much slippery. I try to drive maximum as possible.
He drives so well in this rally (Neuville). I really want the podium.
We had in this stage no problem, it is so much cleaner, good stage. The same time, it is perfect.
It was very fast stage. Car is ok, we had problem from stage before, we hit stone, we changed set-up, and all is ok.
I can see on the split, that something has happened, Elfyn did a mistake.
We overshot a junction...stupid mistake... not so good...
More fast than yesterday. I don't have confident. / Je to o hodně rychlejší než včera. Nemám jistotu.
I tried to push hard now, in one corner the grip changed, I went of the road, we spun and hit tree. It's difficult to be first on the road. / Snažil jsem se teď zabrat, v jedné zatáčce se ale změnila přilnavost, šel jsem ven, dělali jsme hodiny a trefili strom. Je těžké jet mezi prvními na trati.
It is not to bad, we enjoy it, we improve. Good grip, some places very very bad.
SS11
Ok for me Hirvonen missing. Staying as safe as possible.
I am doing quite careful now...the problem is I am not getting splits...I have a good feeling with the car..
We spun...it is difficult to start the engine...there is a lot of dust in the stages
It's going to be interesting, I try to catch the third place for sure...very tempting. / Začíná to být zajímavé. snažím se dostat na třetí pozici samozřejmě, je to hodně lákavé.
Really tough, all right at the beginning, but then the dust came...we're doing a good job I hope / Skutečně drsné, všechno bylo na začátku v pořádku, ale pak přišel prach, děláme dobrou práci, doufám...
We hit some very big stone on the road...it was not possible to avoid...maybe the wheel is broken...huge impact...
The feeling getting better in the car...things to be improved, but great fun...enjoying it.
Difficult to find the confidence...
It was really slippery, especially on this stage...I think we have a slow puncture...
The times we don't worry about, I know we are driving too slow...the driving is pretty [expletive]. / O čas se nebojíme, Vím, že jsme teď jeli hodně pomalu, jízda je krásná (sarkasmus).
SS10
Julian Porter:Latest from our camera crew with Mikko, there's lots of spectators trying to help him back to the road, not looking good though./ J.Porter Twitter: Nejnovější zprávy z kamery u Mikka, je tam hodně diváků, kteří se snaží pomoci mu zpět na trať, nevypadá to ale dobře...
I don't understand, why Kubica drive 2 minutes after last WRC car, and we only one minute after him, it isn't good, there is lot of dust! / Nechápu, proč jede Kubica dvě minuty za poslendím WRCčkem a my pouze minutu za ním, není to dobré, je tam hodně prachu!
It is ok, we drive much carefully, we would like stay on the road. Mikko is half car out of the road and half car on the road.
I think, he was too fast in the first harpin, we've just want to finish. / Myslím, že Mikko byl moc rychlý v první vlásence, budeme se pouze snažit dokončit.
Julian Porter :Mikko is off the road at the first hairpin in SS10, they are trying to get back on the road.
Quite ok, I was pushing so much. We need to be carreful, we want to stay on this position. I can do the same this afternoon.
Very slippery- in some places I do not feel very comfortable
The second one was all right - still we need to catch Sordo...
I try to keep, I drive carefully, no big moments. The car is working good, no problem.
Going well, there is a lot of loose gravel. Good job, car is perfect, we had a small problem, lot of smoke during the road section, something is wrong.
Rolled
I just confirm, everything ok, it's getting better and better, I'm ok. / Všechno je ok, jde to lépe a lépe.
Different day, lot of variants in that stage, lot of soft sand in places...feeling better this morning for sure...
We can see some braking lines where we can brake...not pushing...
The car is good, we lost intercom on 90% of stage, without pacenotes it is big problem, very dusty. It would be better, I hope.
For sure it is slippery, sliding away so much.
SS8
Really good day but it's only half of the rally so we have to continue tomorrow...no risk, just finish the day.../ Skutečně dobrý den, ale je to teprve polovina soutěže, takže musíme pokračovat zítra, neriskovat, pouze dokončit den.
Really good, I realy enjoyed this day.
It was a good day, except this morning. I can just thank my team, I should be happy with the third place, second would be nice...
To be honest I thought it would be bad...but now...it's really fantastic to drive like this.. / Upřímně, myslel jsem, že to bude špatné, ale byla to krásná jízda.
It has been a good day, we have done a lot of experience with car, It has been a very hard day.
Sometimes it was dusty, not easy in this conditions, very difficult. We just go, not easy.
Car's been perfect, we just want to get out tomorrow and enjoy ourselves... / Auto bylo perfektní, chci to trochu vytáhnout zítra, a bavit se.
Stopped in stage
It was very nice, I improve my driving, I am happy, we changed set-up.
They are both OK
He rolled
I need more time to get my confidence back, it's not an easy task... after the flying finish we hit the mountain..../ Potřebuji víc času aby se mi vrátila sebedůvěra, není to jednoduché, po letmém cíli jsme trefili Trefili jsme kopeček, museli jsme zastavit, něco jsme poškodili.
SS2
Zavěšení
Time was quite good, but the road is very slippery. Basically now everything is okay, it's just a shame that we had a puncture. / Čas je dobrý, hodně to klouzalo. V zásadě je vše ok, jen škoda, že jsme měli ten defekt.
Rolled after 200m on stage, crew ok
Quite slippery stage, lot of loose gravel, but for the guy ahead of me it's even worse.... / Hodně to klouže, ale pro posádky přede mnou to musí být ještě horší...
There is always room to lift the pace (1). It is really twisty, my time is not so good...
It's very slippery. Some problems with the steering. / Hodně to klouže. Máme nějaké problémy s řízením.
We hit a wall with the left and the right side and then with the engine...and stopped between the wall... Trefili jsme zeď levou stranou, pak pravou, pak motorem. Zůstali jsme nakonec napříč...
This one is very slippery and very difficult... I went wide on the first stage and damaged a [tyre].
Šel přes střechu
Hit something about 2/3rds of the way through and thought we'd had a puncture..hard to get confidence... / Asi ve 2/3 trati jsme něco trefili a dostali defekt... Je těžké získat tu sebevědomí...
SS1
Front left puncture
rear right puncture
We were driving quite close to him (P-G)...lot of dust... not good...
Very, very difficult to be honest...got to get confidence in the notes...we have to be patient, lot to learn, long rally...
The car is fantastic, but I have to learn how to drive it - quickly
We don't try to do anything...it is not easy sweeping the road for the other cars..we lost the brakes at the end / Nic jsme nevymýšleli. Není jednoduché čistit trať. Na konci jsme přišli o brzdy.
