Info
"Really nice - my best stage ever in conditions like this. I'm starting to trust my new pace notes so it's much nicer to drive."
"I'm happy with this one. A lot of road cleaning and it's better for us."
"It's tough, but there's really no point to drive faster. I'm already on the edge of keeping the car on the road."
"It's been a good morning and the car is acting just as I want it too. I was lifting the throttle way to much in here, so we'll change that for the second run. We're really enjoying our time in the car and these beautiful stages."
"A nice stage, and maybe it's just the conditions, but it feels like we have no engine power. Because of that our pace notes are too slow and we're having to make adjustments. We'll take a look in service."
"That was awesome. When it all comes together it's just absolutely perfect. I love what I do."
"In knew were were too quick for a corner. We ran wide off the road and into bushes - I had to stop, reverse, turn and go."
"The first half was exceptionally difficult - so little grip when it's loose. But when we went off down hill it didn't seem so bad."
"I'm happy with the car now after the intercom issue. I thought we had a good run here but when I look at the other times I'm not so sure. I wanted to be closer to Ott."
"Maybe I was not smart enough on the previous stage when I tried to rebalance the set-up after losing the diffuser. This time I made settings the other way, to give a lot more grip to the rear, and it was much more driveable."
"I tried to give my best in here, it's a very fast stage with a lot of cleaning. Okay, I took something from Ogler but I guess we'll lose more to the guys behind."
"The gear shift was working properly this time, it an electric problem and we could fix it. This stage was like driving on a beach though - no grip."
