INFORMATION ABOUT SS 8
retired (24 - Sołowow Michał / Baran Maciej): technical problem - engine after SS 8
retired (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): damaged rollcage after SS 8
flash info (23 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Anything that I have done before is completely irrelevant, it is whole different ball game with a WRC car. It is getting there step by step and I am still quite pleased.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Nothing major, just a bit messy and did not get into the rhythm. It was all a bit rushed making repairs before the stage.
flash info (8 - Hänninen Juho / Tuominen Tomi): I think finally the damage with the car is not that bad. Boss will be really horrid in the service.
flash info (19 - Solberg Henning / Minor Ilka): When I fix car again it will be ok. I will try to push hard.
flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): We are not confident and happy, a lot of mistakes. It is a bit better, just have to get use to it.
flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Generally it has been much much better today, basically on the cautious side but better. Hopefully have a good run in the afternoon. On the big flats is ultimately where you lose to the faster guys.
flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I made a slight mistake, a junction right, 2 kms after the start. I just run wide and lost all the momentum. When you are not perfect it is impossible to do fastest time. I am totally happy, totally confident.
flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Without the rear wing there is nothing to do for us. The car is completely different balance, it is very difficult to drive. We have to fix the car now and the rear wing again back. We have to work a bit on the suspension so that I get the feeling back.
flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I feel that the time is going away again. We had a good stage on the previous one. This one it was not as bad as I thought. Just the small things here and there and that is where it comes from. I cannot afford any small mistake.
flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Definitely better, really enjoy it now, work a bit more on my driving. The feeling is good and the times are not bad at all. Its quite hard work, especially on a rally like this, confidence is key to success. It takes a little time to build back up and get the commitment over the crests.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): Small break now. No big moments, quite steady drive. Trying to keep a good speed, I think we are doing quite correct. I would like to go faster.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): No problems, I know what I did wrong. Nothing serious. I will correct it the second time through.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is so close. The beginning of the day the condition was ok, but on stage 3 it was impossible, bad grip, we had no chance. This one was not so bad. Latvala is doing a really good job.
