Other info
Barcelona, 3.20km. A street stage in Barcelona kicks off the action for the second year. It is based in the lower section of the Montjuïc hill on roads that used to host the Spanish Grand Prix. It starts and finishes on the Avenida Reina Maria Cristina and circles the famous Magic Fountain, with a 360 degree donut in front of the spectacular Palau Nacional building.

Info
"The gremlins are back. That stupid pop-off valve is giving us problems again."
"One stupid mistake around a hay bale but otherwise a really good time for us. No problems. We try to build our confidence tomorrow."
"I want to win again here but the start is not good. Not a good feeling on the first corner with the hard tyre. Okay, the real beginning is tomorrow."
"We have a good car set-up. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's stages."
"It's difficult to drive in this sort of half-light."
"It's great to be back. Not an easy start, I tried my best, but I was maybe a bit too excited near the beginning. A few small mistakes."
"A good stage. Not so bad. For us, it is important to finish here. A top three would be good for us."
"I'm absolutely happy. I tried to save my tyres. Okay, Nasser has a different set-up, but for me it's a perfect start."
"We took the decision to use tarmac dampers, even though we had never tested it, and it worked really well with the gravel tyres! We can change them in 10 minutes tomorrow."
"It's good to start this way but I remember in Corsica we started like this and then it didn't go so well! The real start is tomorrow. I'm happy though, it was a clean drive. Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm going to go for it."
"A good drive for me, we have saved some tyres for tomorrow. It's okay."
"We had a mistake on one of the [donut hay] bales. I couldn't get the car shifted into first until half way round."
"I didn't scrub my tyres so much, and I knew the others would do that more, but even so the time is a bit of a disappointment."
"Everybody scrubbed their tyres. I'm happy with my time. Last year Volkswagen eclipsed our times by about 4sec."
"Not a perfect one. I didn't scrub my tyres like I did last year. It was okay but I braked too late for the first corner and then I made a mistake at a hairpin. So not perfect, but I saved some tyres for tomorrow."
"Neuville has done an amazing time. Okay, 2.6sec off that is not perfect but it's not so bad. Tomorrow we will do some proper stages. I'm really looking forward to it."
"I had two soft and two hard tyres, split left and right, but I had a problem with the handbrake and locked the wheels a couple of times. I think the guys behind will be quicker."
"It's my first time here and this is a tricky stage. A few surprises but a clean run. Now I'm really looking forward to tomorrow."
"Big concrete walls take no prisoners. Cold brakes and tyres almost caught us out but overall no problems."
"We have something wrong. "For the last three or four hundred metres we have no power - like no anti-lag."
"I tried to enjoy it, but made two mistakes on the first two corners, I missed the braking points, but the rest was good."
"I really enjoyed that. Last year on the first corner here I made a mistake so this time I took it very cautiously."
"Okay, but I had a problem with the downshifts. I couldn't find first gear at the roundabouts, but it's okay."
"Difficult but this is all for the spectators. Lots of donuts - it was a lot of fun."
