Info

#33

Suninen Teemu
- Markkula Mikko

"At least we finished the stage, but I'm not happy. There are some things we need to change about my driving."

#32

Kopecký Jan
- Dresler Pavel

"I had a big moment near the start. In the slush I was driving at recce speed. The car was doing nothing."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

"This is proper Monte-Carlo. Really difficult conditions. We spun three times in a straight line!"

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"One of the worst stages in my career. So much slush, it was super tricky, I was watching the lines in the road and they were going everywhere - I passed Sordo in a ditch."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"No chance to push at all. A few places you try you are out immediately. I didn't enjoy the spins and things - definitely not enjoyable."

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"I think you can really win a lot of time on this stage if you want to try, but for me it's not about that, I really didn't want to crash, it's so easy to. I guess it was quite slow but it's okay."

Latvala Jari-Matti
- Anttila M.

"I'm relieved to be here. Snow can be nice, but this was not nice at all. Melting, soft snow, slush. Go wide and you don't know where you're going to end up."

#10

Meeke Kris
- Nagle Paul

"I have no idea how this time will compare. In these conditions it's the most challenging. I had one spin, which cost about 12sec."

Bouffier Bryan
- Panseri Xavier

"No spin, I drive very safe, I did my best."

Evans Elfyn
- Barritt Daniel

"I lost the rear in the braking. It was safer to let it spin. You never know in these conditions - there were lines everywhere. I tried to stay in the cleanest one possible and be smart."

#11

Breen Craig
- Martin Scott

"Holy God, that was pretty incredible. A track the width of a tyre in the road and the moment you get off it, it's over. I'm a bit of a snowplow this morning."
