More: did my best...now it's one point - it"ll happen soon / Pokračování: Jel jsem jak nejlépe umím... teď je to jeden bod - bude to již brzy...
We did the job and were thinking it was OK...still we have done another perfect rally...good for the team...
Absolutly no idea where I had puncture, stayed in the middle of the road all the time...
Thank you to the team, the car was incredibly good...
This time I'm 100% sure I didn't hit anything...suddenly vibration...I don't have an answer at the moment.../ Tentokrát jsem si stoprocentně jistý, že jsem nic netrefil...náhle začaly vibrace...nedokážu na to teď odpovědět (promluví si s lidmi od pneumatik)
Front left puncture, front right damage
Good weekend, we have done what we have been aiming for today...crossing my fingers for Séb now...
Latvala is losing time in mid-stage, front right problems reported
We have learned so much about this event...it's been more clever to back off an go at a steady speed... / Hodně jsme se naučili o téhle soutěži... budeme chytřejší až se sem příště vrátíme
We didn't go off, nothing...rallies next i will concentrate on... / Nebyli jsme mimo, nic... na dalších soutěžích se budu koncentrovat...
Meeke odstupuje - dle vyjádření Citroenu
Dokončil rally s poškozeným zavěšením...
SS21
Good...thinking more and more about it...but keeping a good rhythm otherwise you have too much time to think..
Good stage, the car feels nice, and finally I feel the car feels right on Australian roads...
We are having splits so as not to lose concentration...it's part of the job...I really hope Séb holds it together now... / Měli jsme splity, takže nedošlo ke ztrátě koncentrace...je to část práce...skutečně doufám, že Seb si to podrží...
I don't do splits, I just go my own way, I need the experience, I don't want to push. / Neměl jsem splity, jel jsem si po svém, potřebuji zkušenosti, nechci tlačit na pilu...
That was like a glove wasn't it...we had an absolute ball though there - unreal. Just a shame there's only one stage left / Bylo to jako hozená rukavice, není liž pravda... neskutečné, jen škoda, že schází už jen jedna RZta...
Much better than this morning...much enjoyable...
SS20
Was OK, I felt really good, looking good...
I see Jari-Matti still wants to drive fast, I control....
We did some changes in the Service and the car is now very good...I am very happy...
I'm not going to make that change my objective...get her home... / Nebudu tvrdit, že mám v plánu změnit svůj cíl...což je dostat auto domů...
We had a puncture after 500 metres, I did the whole stage with a front right puncture. (No spare now left)
Was rutted for last 2 ks, but yes I had a better run...
SS19
Great loop: I like this stage...
I made a small mistake on the first split and lost about 3 seconds, but after that I enjoy...
I can't understand where that's come from..... Strange thing anyway... / Nechápu, kde se to vzalo...divná věc...
Just smiling and telling each other stories on the stages, it's that slow, just cruising... / Pouze se smějeme a vyprávíme si příběhy, jet to pomalé, jedeme ustáleně...
We are not pushing so hard either...just working to be better. If he [Mikkelsen] gets closer, maybe we step up...
Quite slippery...the second pass we will enjoy a little more...
I had fun! Second watersplash we lost a lot of power...still all right, I had a blast...
A lot of places was really good, some fast corners I couldn't find the right line and backing off.../ Mnoho míst bylo velmi dobrých, v některých zatáčkách jsem netrefil ideální stopu...
first on the road this morning is incredible...here it's complete marbles...that's the penalty we pay for yesterday... / První na trati dnes ráno je příšerné... to je daň za včerejšek...
SS18
I think the split was wrong, we did not push at the end. Okay, it was a good stage for us.
I just try to keep my 2nd place. Car is really good.
Was pretty good, I enjoyed...pacenotes were perfect, good rhythm, we have to stay this way for the rest of the day....
I really enjoyed it...really suits my driving style...
Everything is fine, we are driving slowly, nothing to win and everything to lose, driving safely...
I feel OK, sometimes a bit of dust very fast day it was, everything is fine...
Taking it fairly easy, fingers are crossed, shoelaces crossed, looking forward to getting back to Service
The second loop has to be faster...
SS17
Keep it good...5 stage to go
Did OK...little bit dust in places, all OK anyway, no dramas...
Good stage for us, no risks, quite enjoyed, nothing to worry...
We are in a good Manufacturers points for this position and now it is time to play a clever role...
Not so bad in places, places where it is soft and you are sweeping a lot of dust off the road....Two spare wheels in the car today which creates a different feeling
Another stage to learn ...I need to look at the bigger picture and keep in front of the Citroëns...
Some places at least it's cleaning a bit..quite OK stage, I enjoyed it, not a perfect run but quite OK...lot of dust, yeah / Některá místa ke konci jsou trochu vyčištěná...docela dobrá zkouška, bavil jsem se, nebyla to dokonalá jízda, ale ok... hodně prachu
Dust, dust in some places, it is like that...
We just took off straight from yesterday...we just drove that stage so smooth, we had an absolute ball!
SS15
In SS13 he rolled 7 times
SS14
He spun
SS13
Gear shift problems, has to use clutch
Rolled, they are ok. Out for today at least
Rear left puncture
SS12
Today the rally is long....that is good...I cannot say I really pushed...I am last on the road...good fun...
I don't think it's going to be enough...good steady drive...I'm trying..../ Nemyslím si, že to bude dost...dobrá ustálená jízda...snažím se...
I didn't find a good rhythm in there, but that's the way it is...OK.../ Nenašel jsem správný rytmus na téhle rychlostce, ale tak to prostě je...ok..
Unbelievable slippery, I was very surprised in many corners...like ice...the others are not much quicker...
At the beginning of the stage we went wide, got a puncture, drove the stage with it...
It was OK, quite difficult, a big layer of gravel on the road, getting better and better...
In the very beginning of the stage, slipped wide in a very slow corner
The same, the same, very slippery, very difficult to drive....
I drove a little bit more respectable...obviously we're learning...we drove a bit silly in the first one...live and large.../ Jel jsem trochu lépe...samozřejmě se učíme...jeli jsme trochu slabě na té první...
Some nice places, but it's tricky...you need to predict where the bumps will come, but better than the first one... / Několik krásných míst, ale je to zrádné...potřebujete předvídat, kde to bude hrolaté, ale lepší než ta první rzta...
SS11
We lost the intercom for about 10km, very slidy conditions...we've got nothing to lose / Po deseti kilometrech nám odešel interkom, hodně uklouzané podmínky...nemáme co ztratit...
Everything well..yesterday I bent the steering...unlucky...today I push...to get experience and step by step I push maximum...
I was not playing with him, I was just trying to copy his rhythm...it was just like that...
He was playing with us...I nearly went off...at the end I was a bit cautious...It's going to be tough to catch him.. / On si s nái hrál... Skoro jsme byli venku... na konci jsem byl trochu opatrnější...bude to těžké ho dostat...
Tried to manage it the whole way through...OK, I'm happy...[Neuville?] there's no battle... / Snažil jsem se to ošéfovat celou rychlostku... Ok, jsem spokojený... žádný souboj (s Neuvillem)...
It is interesting, good fight, car was little bit understeering...
It was quite OK ...first pass through...more slippy than I thought [tyres?] I hope they're good enough for the next one. / Bylo to ucházející... první průjezd... uklouzanější než jsem si myslel, doufám, že pneumatiky budou dostačující pro další RZtu...
The feeling was not so bad, quite slippery stage....the car feels better today, lot more enjoyable...
It was OK stage, I struggled with the rhythm...I made it difficult for myself last night, my own fault...
Just being an apprentice sweeping the road, you know how it is, we'll have a better crack at it later...tough stage / Byl jsem pouze nováčkem v čištění trati, víte jak to je, budeme větší odborníci později... drsná zkouška.
Was really difficult. Condition was lot hard, we had 6-7 moments, one of them over crest, I'm trying to be really neat... / Bylo to skutečně těžké. Podmínky byly hodně drsné, měli jsme 6-7 krizovek, jednu přes hřeben, snažil jsem se jet co nejčistěji...
SS8
Quite happy, very loose, no advantage, even for us at the back...you have to be careful
I think we could say today was perfect: really good start to the rally...it was good idea to give us 4 minutes
Fine stage, good stage, no push, comfortable, this morning was another day. Saw the rock and I was lucky
Right-hander, massive rock on the middle of the road, I hit it, the door opened we almost went off the road into the trees
Mikkelsen has a problem, unclear what, left-hand side: "I will have to stop on the road section and see..."
Really good, I'm really happy...I hope I can stay in the fight, I'm happy with that... / Skutečně dobré, jsem spokojený... doufám, že zůstanu v boji...
I was trying to push but the time was still not there...there was also some dust...
Character-building day, we're learning things, we have been able to catch Novikov, our target is to stay ahead of him.../ Učíme se věci, které bychom využili k dohnání Novikova a zůstali před ním...
Lot of loose sand...might be a little bit slow, but better than going off...
I guarantee I'm having more fun than any of the guys fighting for the Championship... / Zaručeně se bavím víc než kluci bojující o šampionát...
SS7
I drove OK...just learning all the time, my first rally in this car in these conditions: not here to fight for the victory
We had a good run through the stage.
I could have gone quicker on this one,but I'm taking no risk much better than the first one, the pace notes were perfect / Mohl jsem teď být rychlejší, ale nechci příliš riskovat, rozpis je skvělý...
I'm pushing hard, perfect stage, we lose time, I don't understand... / Tvrdě tlačím, super rychlostka, ztratili jsme čas, nechápu to...
This was the stage we had the best rhythm on - I'm happy with it so far...easy to make a mistake in there. We managed OK / Na téhle zkoušce jsme měli nejlepší tempo - Jsem z toho docela šťastný... snadno se tu udělá chyba. Ale ošéfovali jsme to dobře.
It felt really good now, I thought I was really brave over a couple of the jumps, but let's see... / Vypadá to teď lépe, myslel jsem si, že jsem byl skutečně statečnýna pár skocích, ale uvidíme...
we were only losing a little time on the first 7km, but then on the last 3 kms, we dropped around 3 seconds, 4 seconds
I felt even more comfortable on this stage - it'll be interesting to see how the time is appearing.../ Cítil jsem se na téhle zkoušce pohodlněji - bude zajímavé sledovat jak se budou vyvíjet časy...
Not easy, there is a thin layer of dust which sometimes hides the corners...
We had a relatively reasonable time in the first stage this afternoon!
SS6
Quite happy, at the beginning of the stage I seemed just not on the right rhythm. We just try to remain calm.
Good grip, nice stage, I tried to push, nobody wants to do stupid mistake today...
It was much better, there is more grip. Car is good...
Stage was quite ok for me, time is not good, I don´t know why.
Nothing really special. My line isn’t perfect, but it was OK. Clean stage, nothing special to say...
In places is little bit better grip. I hade problem with dust. Next stage will be much worst, because there are roads in the forrest...
In some fast plases was very difficult, but it was little bit better, I changed set-up...
It was definitely better but still not easy to find the rhythm on these roads
SS5
I hit a massive stone online in the middle of the corner and the wheel was ripped out of my hand...a little bit of a fright
Not easy - difficult to get the rhythm...
Bad stage, difficult to find the rhythm, there was a place in there where the notes were far too fast and I had to adjust
On the recce bit too positive, we had to take an escape road. We had a small overshoot, and had to wait for the dust to go away. Lost 20 sec on that
Neuville now reported moving (news from the helicopter...)
Fantastic stage one or two hairy moments in there, but we survived...[what happened?] Nothing, Ha ha ha...
Stopped in stage
Novikov with broken front left wheel: "Still very slippery...we have set up from Finland..."
A clear run, no mistakes, which is the main thing...if you want to win this rally you have to qualify well...
More difficult...lot of blind crests...sliding sideways...you lose a lot of time
Just throwing it about - enjoying it...
SS4
I felt a lot more comfortable, my pace notes were good...dust in the trees...I want to thank the organisers for the 3 min gap
I just take this advantage...
It was ok, good clean run, not easy, we had lot of dust on the windscreen, I could not see the road, not so bad at all.
Very difficult to find any rhythm, seems like everyone is struggling a bit...
The start was OK, then we clipped a rock at little bit on a corner and I thought a puncture: we were cautious after that.
This was more technical, more cautious in places..we will lose a bit, but OK...
Was OK, very very slippery to be honest... I hope the second pass will have more grip...keep going, that's all... / Bylo to ok, hodně moc uklouzané... Doufám, že druhý průjezd budeme mít víc přilnavosti... prostě jedu, to je vše...
Very, very slippery, it's very difficult for me... / Hodně moc uklouzané, je to pro mě hodně těžké...
SS3
I'm here to finish this rally... / Jsem tu abych dokončil tuto soutěž...
OK, quite a slippery stage, not a very good stage for me, but good to start the rally...
I was driving on a lot of gravel and stones with no traction...not a nice stage for me....
It is quite ok, start is very slippery. I had a lot of oversteer, I am not used to this type of road...but OK, only 1.9 behind Mikko
Very, very slippery. Lost some time in the beginning, too careful. But it's early in the rally / Hodně moc to klouzalo. Ztratili jsme nějaký čas na začátku, příliš opatrné. Ale je teprve začátek rally...
There is no grip level whatsoever...it's definitely going to get a lot faster for the boys behind... / Není tu vůbec žádná přilnavost... Kluci za mnou určitě pojedou o dost rychleji...
Everything was fine, just very slippery...
Unfortunately we spun several times... we didn't lose much time...10 seconds, quite a lot. Worse than I expected. / Naneštěstí jsme několikrát dělali hodiny... neztratili jsme moc času, 10 sekund, celkem hodně... Horší, než jsem očekával.
There's a lot of wheelspin, lot of sliding...it will take at least 10 cars to find a good line... / Hodně mi to prokluzovalo, ... bude to trvat nejméně dalších 10 aut než se vyjede dobrá stopa...
It was unreal..driving these cars is a dream come true...I really enoyed it.
