Info

Paddon Hayden
- Marshall S.

"I think the stage is a bit better, quite tricky on the new sections as it is rutting up already. Certainly enjoyed that one more than the first one."

Suninen Teemu
- Markkula Mikko

"Yeah it was quite soft and quite rough, more than I expected but it is the same for everybody. It will be rougher on the second run but we'll set the car up for that."

#10

Østberg Mads
- Eriksen Torstein

"Well there was quite rough sections, cars in front are cutting and I didn't want to risk going over the big rocks like the cars ahead. Wanted to avoid the punctures."

#11

Breen Craig
- Martin Scott

"Just trying to keep the rhythm and try to push to get the best road position I can for tomorrow. Just hammer and tongs for the rest of the day. Geometry is mighty, feels really good."

Latvala Jari-Matti
- Anttila M.

"It was a lot better, it was not an easy start for me on the first one. A lot of waiting and there is more pressure in Finland. Now the rhythm is good and the confidence is higher."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

"I don't know how it was last year, but we still have to do some work on the car to get it to where I would like it."

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"No issues, everything is fine. That's how it is. Win is already gone."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"Definitely not a good stage, very slippery and loose."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"It is very, very slippy for sure. A lot of loose gravel. We had a nice clean stage but it is very hard to fight with the guy behind."
