(31 - Al Rajhi Yazeed / Orr Michael): damaged suspension arm
(38 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): puncture
flash info (23 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I felt the start of a puncture less than a third of the way through the stage and it did not get any worse, I think it is front left. It is really strange, it is not a full puncture. The stage is so rough.
retired (22 - Nikara Jarkko / Kalliolepo Jarkko): accident in SS 3
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Its not so bad, we were only a couple of seconds off Juho. I have a lot more confidence when the grip is consistent.
flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): This stage was very tough for me, there was a lot of ruts and lines. It was not easy but I think we have a good long stage behind us so I am happy.
flash info (8 - Hänninen Juho / Tuominen Tomi): On this one we lost a lot of time, it was quite rough, these ruts already. We lost a few times from these ruts and after that I was not fully confident.
flash info (19 - Solberg Henning / Minor Ilka): About nine kilometres into the stage there was a stone in the road. Very frustrating… I could not see it was there in the corner.
(19 - Solberg Henning / Minor Ilka): puncture
flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): We have some small problems with the rear brakes. The first part was very rough with a lot of impacts on the rear.
flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Still difficult, it was quite rough in places. The car jumped out of the ruts on a couple of times. I just eased off when it jumped out early on. This is Finland after all, these are the conditions and you have to respect it.
flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): No frustration, I wanted scratch and I don't think I got it. Here there was medium size ruts and still quite difficult to control and bounce around. Step by step I am happy. I don't want a limit, I want freedom to drive in the car with a smile on my face.
flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Much better, but I am bottoming a lot and the car is jumping out of the line. Sometimes I could not hold the steering, it was really difficult. I try to stay on the clean line. The conditions are different from testing and I am missing some confidence.
flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I was hoping to be closer to the Volkswagens but they are pushing really really hard. The car is a bit stiff for these conditions.
flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Not a good day, I am struggling a lot with the car, I am not able to drive the car like this. We need to change the setup to make the car better.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): I tried to increase the pace. It was really slippery in the beginning, I thought I had two punctures on the rear, the back end was all over the place.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We were one second slower at the beginning so I started to catch back at the end. In the beginning, we had problem with understeering, I went stiffer and higher with the car. I was struggling to find the rhythm.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Quite more slippery, a bit more mud, some small ruts, but not too bad. I had one small moment at the end, I had an impact on the front, lost the front and I had to back off, I lost a bit of time there.
