Stage results 1000 Lakes Rally 1989

"We take a standing water. The car is good, we have a little problem with the central transmission and I think we'll change that at the end of the day. The car still is noisy.

"The secret is to put together new car and old driver, it's a good combination. The four wheel steering makes the car more stable and when you're as old as I am, you need all aids, all wheels must turns. The last stages after Pieksämäki have been a bit tacky, but the roads tomorrow are good, I think will go well again."

"Everything has gone OK, we haven't had any problems. It's a heavy weather for a 1600cc car. Our car has never had the same fault as Hannu Mikkola had (on SS6), the clutch just broke. On this stage we were slipping and sliding for the spectators, it was very slippery. Tyre choices have been good, Michelin works in every weather. We don't need meteo guys, you can just see yourself that it's raining, it's wet. "

"Finnish roads are fantastic for the feel of driving. I should learn to know better but OK, next year. Everything's all right"

"Doesn't feel like home advantage, Markku has driven these roads as much or more than I have. We just have to keep going, Michelin seems to have a better functioning tyre. Always when it has been very wet they just get away from us. But Markku has great pace as well! The car is working well."

"Everybody goes flat out, there's no tactics involved. It could be tactical to start second or third tomorrow. "
