Info
The car doesn't go fast on fast roads, we have to shift down from sixth gear. I don't understand, in the test the engine has been the best part of the car but now it feels all the power is gone. On this stage we lost hydraulic oil because of a broken pipe. There's enough drama!
It will level out because it has been dry for so long that the roads are slippery so the first cars suffer and cleans for the latter cars, it keeps the pack together. I don't believe we'll see big gaps anywhere.
The stages are maybe a little bit better known now with these next three stages by the other drivers so I'll keep on trying. Of course [I'd like to beat them]
