Info
“The stage varies a lot with a lot of grooves. It was better than yesterday. A good stage for the morning
but I lost some seconds.”
“The stage was very narrow and slippery in parts but it was okay. I don’t know why it is not going so well.
The sun is shining but the helmet visor helps.”
“It was a very difficult and very technical stage. It wasn’t easy to manage the car and the corners, superslippery and narrow and a loss of grip. The day is very beautiful.’’
“It was quite a difficult stage and from the middle of the stage we had no grip. But the first part wasn’t that
bad.”
“It was really slippery. I lost a lot of time in the end. We are missing a lot of grip in the car. I don’t know
what to do.”
“It went quite well. It wasn't that clean as I thought and I went to the snowbank as well. I lost four or five
seconds due to a mistake. I tried to drive calmly and we will have to see how fast the others will go.”
“After the mistake yesterday, I had nothing to lose. It was a difficult stage. These roads are absolutely
gorgeous. This will be an interesting loop. I’m enjoying the driving.”
“We have such perfect weather. The stage is perfect. I lost some power towards the end after I hit a
snowbank.”
“I didn’t succeed to find the pace in the beginning of the stage. There was a lot of loose snow, we are
here to improve and try different things.”
“It was okay, I tried to push as hard as I could. I tried my best.”
"This morning I was pushing quite hard and sometimes hitting the banks. It's difficult, far back the ice is already in some lines and it's changing a lot."
"A lot of mistakes. I was in several snow banks and we should have been left stuck in them. I was expecting the grip to be much higher - I tried to do the best I could but it's not good enough."
"It was not good. We changed the setup from yesterday and it didn't really get any better. I am struggling with the balance, I have a lot of understeer and I can not be on the pace I want."
"It was an okay stage, but I can't understand. We made some changes to the intercom system and it doesn't work - I misheard some words and I am hesitating too much."
"I struggled a bit in places but I can't really put my finger on why. We were hoping for a little bit more."
"We are having good rhythm in slow places, but we can't drive fast on the straights. We are giving everything and it's a good fight with Taka."
"I lost quite a lot. I think I was too careful on the icy sections so that's one reason. It's fine."
"It's amazing. It felt quite good, but I couldn't find the rhythm at the beginning, it was so difficult and narrow. One I found the rhythm it was good."
"I tried to drive as fast as I can. I'm not sure, it was not so easy, but let's see how the times are developing. I can not say - for sure, it's very slippery out there."
"I felt like I was losing a lot of traction on the exit of corners so maybe we will make some tweakes - for me, it felt like a smooth stage."
"The weather is beautiful. The beginning was a little bit difficult to try and find the confidence, but by the end it was better."
"It was nice. I tried to do my best - it was slippery in some parts, but I was trying to stay on the line and we just have to take experience and try to go fast."
