Info
"I changed the rear set up and it feels good - nice to drive. The pace notes are quite good with the new set-up. We have some problem with a sensor, which is costing us some power, but it's okay."
"Same story as before - I have one more puncture in the first stage. With one spare I have to be careful. Not good."
"I was giving my all but I couldn't judge the grip level on the first pass. It seems I am too slow.”
"It was good clean stage with no problems, just trying to keep a good rhythm."
"Trying to attack a bit more. It went a bit better here but still room for improvement. I don't expect tyre wear will be a problem on the next stage."
"Not really satisfied, I had to leave the soft tyre on for this stage."
"A good stage, I couldn't do any more. Quite happy with my tyres. Hopefully it's a good package for the next stage. Let's see."
"A bit better on the repeat pass, for sure I have a bit more confidence."
"Okay. We took a hard tyre, and on the loose gravel its okay, but on the polished surfaces I'm struggling."
"It was quite a slippery road, not so easy, and no aero again, so quite challenging." How does the lack of aero make the car behave? "We are driving looking through the side windows."
"Maybe sliding a little too much but I tried to push. Did Sebastien have a problem? If not, it would be too big a gap."
"The gear shift issue makes it harder but we do our best. I think it's an electronic issue."
