Other info
Just a 2.8km liaison section divides Sweet Lamb from Hafren, the longest test of the rally and driven in the same format as 2016. It’s fast throughout on a good surface, although there are muddy sections and rougher parts where the road has been regraded. The final part is spectacular, blasting out of the forest and descending amid stunning mountain views.

Info
puncture
"Unfortunately, I hit something in the middle of the road and I got a puncture. I had to drive on this for quite a long time."
"That was difficult. Very hard to see the surface and feel the grip. These are totally new conditions for me so we'll do this afternoon's loop carefully as well."
"It was great and the feeling was good. We maybe lost some seconds catching Serderidis but it's hard to see behind you in these conditions."
"Not good. I got a puncture in the rear."
"The grip wasn't so bad in there. I could be faster in many places but it's so tricky."
"Really struggling, especially in the braking areas. It would probably be easier if it was raining. I need to find a better feeling and try to ease myself into it."
"It was a slow puncture and then it went at the end of the stage. It's been a clean rally and I haven't been anywhere I shouldn't have so it's a bit of a mystery how it's gone down."
"We are losing so much so I am almost laughing. I'm missing a lot of confidence as we try to find out where the grip is."
"Our tyres are working well but I'm still not finding it easy. I'm trying to be clean and attack when I can. I don't want to overdrive so it's a very difficult balance."
"I'm not happy with that one. The car doesn't turn and I'm understeering too much. I have no confidence."
"The grip was more constant than in the other stages but we have to do some more."
"The car is working so we cross our fingers and continue. The stage was good for me. I tried to keep my line and drive well."
"It was a bit funny. I'm not happy with the car at all – not behaving like I would like. It's understeering quite a lot and I'm using the handbrake far too much."
"It looks not so good. Hard to judge the grip and maybe not daring enough. You need to be confident."
