Stage results Neste Rally Finland 2018

"The risk is quite high, we had some tyre wear and I could not push. I just had to go a decent speed and take no cuts. I'm not happy with my speed, again it's on purpose and I can't do anything else."

#11

Breen Craig
- Martin Scott

"I struggled a bit in some places, it was pretty rough and I was knocked off the line in a few spots. But I'm still in the rally."

Mikkelsen Andreas
- Jæger Anders

"It was a bit more rough in there, we went a bit softer on the car. Sometimes I lose grip completely when I'm in the lines. It is better when there are no lines."

Latvala Jari-Matti
- Anttila M.

"It's okay, Ott is going very, very fast at the moment. I tried to be a little bit more cautious here because of the rocks, I didn't want to get a puncture."

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"Everything is fine, it is pretty rough with many, many rocks. One was on braking and it caught the front-right, hopefully it didn't give us a slow puncture."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"Tomorrow is a fair fight, so then we will push hard. Today was very important to get a good position for tomorrow. It was very rough. I believe road position will make a big difference, he's quite a bit down the order."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"Really rutted, I didn't expect that at the beginning of the stage, which was smooth. There is too much gap to get past Elfyn so unless he makes a mistake I can't imagine we'll get past him."

Neuville Thierry
- Gilsoul N.

"I can't be happy about the position, but we knew from the beginning it was going to be tough. Being first on the road has been a disaster but I can't do more than that."
