Info

#25

Gryazin Nikolay
- Aleksandrov K.

"We have some issue with the turbo. I don't know - we are not losing too much power, but we need to check it. The strategy is quite difficult."

#22

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"Not really tricky in terms of the conditions. I am just not 100 percent happy with the car, but we have to live with that to honest."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"I had a good feeling in the stage. I am much more happy with the car today and it felt much more natural, so it's good."

#33

Evans Elfyn
- Martin Scott

"All feeling okay. It's a bit mixed in there and the balance is changing all the time with the grip levels. Overall, it was an okay run."

Sordo Dani
- Rozada Borja

"In the middle of the stage I was a little bit lost because it was foggy. I had some small mistakes in really fast places with the pace notes, but I pushed to the maximum after that."

#18

Katsuta Takamoto
- Barritt Daniel

"It's okay - of course he [Ogier] is seven-times world champion! Very hard and a lot slippier than I expected. I tried to stay on the line and avoid mistakes, but I obviously did it a bit carefully."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"Pretty slippery. I didn't feel super comfortable. I was missing grip, but I guess it's the same for everybody. We need to see if we can do anything with the car."

#69

Rovanperä Kalle
- Halttunen J.

"I haven't really driven so much with three plus one tyres. I needed to learn it a bit. It was quite a tricky stage."

#44

Greensmith Gus
- Patterson Chris

"I felt I had a really good run there. No issues - the car feels really nice. Happy!"

#16

Fourmaux Adrien
- Jamoul Renaud

"The pedal is full throttle all the time, so it was just undriveable. I had to drive in road mode, so it was really slow. I need to check."
