Info
“I should have pushed more. I need to have more speed for the last stage. It has been difficult. I had to
do a lot of work. I’m surprised how fast the others drove.”
“It was a very nice and smooth stage. A lot of gravel on the road, we should improve the time. The stage
was nice for us.’’
“I hit a snowbank and as a result of that we lost power. We lost a lot on this stage.”
“It’s been a difficult day for sure and it is super-tough for the tyres now. But it’s really fast and enjoyable.
We struggled a little bit. We’ve been improving a bit on the second loop. Let’s see what we can do on the
last stage.”
“It’s a very good Saturday. It felt like someone had gone and made it very slippery on purpose. Now was
more normal than before. Now it was nice again. Let’s try and focus and keep a good rhythm. I don’t have
any other choices.”
“I tried on this one. It’s really difficult when you have to take care of the tyres. Lappi is doing a very, very
good job, it is hard to keep up.”
“That was okay for us, a clean stage, we tried to save the tyres for the last stage. We have a good gap
now. Esapekka [Lappi] is hard to catch. We are happy where we are.’’
"Maybe not the best one for us, could have been better. Still one more to go, we need to see about the tyres and see how we can finish the day."
"Much better feeling in the afternoon, big steps in commitment. Very fun stage, amazing."
"A lot of gravel on the road!"
"I was really worried about the last stage, so I used the worst tyres just so we could get through. The last one will be really important now."
"I'm trying my best - I really tried to do a good job and manage it."
"Maybe the other guys are being clever and saving their tyres! We took a small gamble with the tyres and put them on crossed."
"It went okay. I had a very clean and smooth run trying to save my tyres and it was working well. I am feeling comfortable in the car and our communication is working better as well."
"Who knows - we'll find out in the next one. For sure, there was some movement near the end but it wasn't quite as hard on the tyres as the previous one."
"The conditions are really tricky. There's a clean line, but also a lot of messy snow outside of the lines. It's hard to go flat out and look after the tyres. Let's see what we can do when we get the fresh tyres."
"I am really disappointed that I couldn't be at maximum attack but the time is okay. The next one will be even trickier."
"I was quite angry but okay, it was good learning. It's a shame but that's how it is."
"I didn't really push in this one - I was trying to save my tyres for the last stage."
in snow bank
"The track is quite wide and there's a lot of fresh snow and gravel everywhere, I think it will clean quite a bit."
"For me, it's hard to drive in narrow gravel lines. I don't have the guts to push - I'm getting old!"
Retired after SS6 due engine issues.
