09. 03. 2014 20:13 CET
22 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Its been tough week, a few mistakes. We will come back strong in Portugal. Mexico is one of those rallies you don't need to be fast, if you see the time gaps you realise that.

09. 03. 2014 20:12 CET
22 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Its been a great experience and we have made some good progress over the weekend. I think we can look at the strategy for Portugal and move on from there.

09. 03. 2014 19:52 CET
22 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): We have not had a clean run all weekend, but we got the car to the finish. Seeing everyone has had problems, I have just driven it at 85% to get the car to the end. Both cars at the finish, that has to be a result. You just never know on this rally, it is very easy to get caught out. I am happy with what I did this weekend, I know I can go a lot faster.

20 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I had one of the biggest moments of the year so far, it was a spin that nearly rolled us. After that we lost rhythm, but no damage and everything is pointing in the right direction.

09. 03. 2014 16:19 CET
19 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I pushed quite hard, I had a good run, very clean no mistake. I just had a problem with visibility, my windscreen wiper was not working.

09. 03. 2014 16:17 CET
19 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's quite slippy there this morning compared to the other two passes. It was ok, just more slippery than expected.
09. 03. 2014 09:16
09. 03. 2014 16:16 CET
19 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): This was nice warm up for the day, but the next stage will be something. If you have good condition you do not have problem on next long stage.
09. 03. 2014 09:15
09. 03. 2014 16:15 CET
19 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): It's nice to win here in front of all my people. Now we have the long stage, it will be very tough, we are carrying two spare wheels. Today has to be a great day.
09. 03. 2014 09:14
09. 03. 2014 16:14 CET
19 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): Important that we get through. There is a bit of mud on the road there and someone hit the barrier so I took it careful.

09. 03. 2014 16:13 CET

09. 03. 2014 02:00 CET
18 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was really slippy during the recce and I was too cautious in the first run. But then on the second it was ok.
08. 03. 2014 18:47
09. 03. 2014 01:47 CET
18 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): For me there was no problem, but there was some big hole.
08. 03. 2014 18:46
09. 03. 2014 01:46 CET
18 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I did not do this stage last night so it was my first time. When you are doing super rally you do not have the same commitment. Quite content and we are learning a lot all the time.
08. 03. 2014 18:39
09. 03. 2014 01:39 CET
18 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Getting more happy, the differential is not 100% for my driving style but we are going to change this for the next rally. The team has done a fantastic job.
08. 03. 2014 18:38
09. 03. 2014 01:38 CET
18 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A big impact in the hairpin. It's ok, we just lost a bit of time and wheel is out of rim. I did not expect that at all.
08. 03. 2014 18:37
09. 03. 2014 01:37 CET
18 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It has been an enjoyable day in a way. I have not been in a big competition as it has not been completely necessary. We go for the championship not for the rally.
08. 03. 2014 18:36
09. 03. 2014 01:36 CET
18 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Struggled quite a lot with understeer there. Had to change a front wheel last minute… One of those things unfortunately. Quite a lot of understeer in a lot of places, but the handbrake sorted it out.
08. 03. 2014 18:21
09. 03. 2014 01:21 CET
18 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): I was going for it, I cannot lose in front of all my people. It is a very good end of the day.
08. 03. 2014 18:20
09. 03. 2014 01:20 CET
18 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): I went to go to the start and my rear brakes were gone so I had to be very very careful. We had a reasonable morning, the set-up changes we made were not right, but we are still here and still in the points. We took a risk this afternoon and it did not work.

09. 03. 2014 00:50 CET
16 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): That was a good time and not perfect. I believe I can still improve a bit for tomorrow.
08. 03. 2014 17:46
09. 03. 2014 00:46 CET
16 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not so bad, today's stages are quite technical in places especially the long ones. When you are doing super rally, there is no sense in risking everything.
08. 03. 2014 17:44
09. 03. 2014 00:44 CET
16 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Great day, very happy with that. We keep a good rhythm through the day. Another day tomorrow to go with at least one long stage. Holes are quite hard and we had a bit of impact there. We have to adjust the setting for tomorrow maybe.
08. 03. 2014 17:43
09. 03. 2014 00:43 CET
16 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was getting rutted in places. It was not too bad for me. I am pretty pleased with the way things have been going. I am happy with the strategy we have had for the day.
08. 03. 2014 17:31
09. 03. 2014 00:31 CET
16 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): A couple of bad bits in there that caught me out, I was not expecting them to be quite so rough. It is about keeping clean and keeping out of trouble. I feel we have made progress, but I feel there is still work to be done.
08. 03. 2014 17:29
09. 03. 2014 00:29 CET
16 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The jump was flat out, arriving there I knew I could go flat. I see quite quickly after the start the road is getting worse and worse, it was a big compression and it broke my windscreen.
08. 03. 2014 17:25
09. 03. 2014 00:25 CET
16 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I am happy with the day. Last stage was perfect. We had some big moments there, as there was two big holes, big impacts.
08. 03. 2014 17:23
09. 03. 2014 00:23 CET
16 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): I am quite happy. The car is working fantastic. The time was ok, but tomorrow will be better.
08. 03. 2014 17:22
09. 03. 2014 00:22 CET
16 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): Still was not too bad, a bit lose. Thierry has done a great job, we are just trying to make sure we get both cars to the finish.
08. 03. 2014 16:38
08. 03. 2014 23:38 CET
15 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I am testing, we had a good rhythm, we are trying everything with the car and trying to learn from it. I am starting to have a really good feeling with the car, I don't have to think about how I drive it.
08. 03. 2014 16:37
08. 03. 2014 23:37 CET
15 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I feel ok, a few places where I did not get hooked up. So much difference from the first pass to the second pass. The full hairpin, I caught some bushes at the side of the road.
08. 03. 2014 16:30
08. 03. 2014 23:30 CET
15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We keep a good rhythm and that is the best way to stay. Still quite slow in the greasy part but at least the grip was a little bit better than this morning.
08. 03. 2014 16:27
08. 03. 2014 23:27 CET
15 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was really slippy. I would like to fine tune the setup a bit and then I would be happier.
08. 03. 2014 16:24
08. 03. 2014 23:24 CET
15 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Everything fine, I did not have a lot of grip from the half way. Did not feel there was a lot of grip and lost a lot of confidence.
08. 03. 2014 16:22
08. 03. 2014 23:22 CET
15 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Flat out the whole stage and I really enjoyed. I miss a bit of traction but otherwise I felt comfortable. In the bumpy parts the car is jumping around. But I enjoy, a nice run.
08. 03. 2014 16:20
08. 03. 2014 23:20 CET
15 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Concentration is no problem but we have big problem with the brakes, we have no brakes now… There is nothing.
08. 03. 2014 16:19
08. 03. 2014 23:19 CET
15 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): We hit a tree, we think the car is okay. That is the most horrible thing when you see a tree coming towards you. I was trying to push a little bit more, I try to reduce my braking points.
08. 03. 2014 16:13
08. 03. 2014 23:13 CET
15 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): We made some setup changes and I could not push at all, it was too dangerous to take any risks. We had to try something this afternoon, unfortunately it was in the wrong direction.
08. 03. 2014 15:18
08. 03. 2014 22:18 CET

08. 03. 2014 15:05
08. 03. 2014 22:05 CET
14 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was ok, no problems. We did some setup changes for the car and I am happy with that. We are in a position where we can try some things for Portugal.
08. 03. 2014 15:04
08. 03. 2014 22:04 CET
14 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A lot better when you have a bit of experience, a lot better. Still not taking any chances. Just trying to get comfortable again in the car.
08. 03. 2014 15:03
08. 03. 2014 22:03 CET
14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's a nice stage, the grip is quite high now. Just one alarm when there was a rock in the line and I could not avoid it.
08. 03. 2014 15:02
08. 03. 2014 22:02 CET
14 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a bit more visible with the line, it was easier in the fast sections. In the twisty sections it was still quite slippery. We try to keep going with the same speed, try to control the position, avoid all the rocks.
08. 03. 2014 15:01
08. 03. 2014 22:01 CET
14 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): There was certainly a lot more grip and able to carry a lot more speed. I think we have to do our own thing, if it is good enough, it is good enough, I am not prepared to take the risks.
08. 03. 2014 14:53
08. 03. 2014 21:53 CET
14 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): My car was a bit soft, I lose the rear a lot. Just struggle with the brakes on this one, we have to work on that as I lose the brakes too quickly. The biggest problem was the brakes and I start to lock the rear.
08. 03. 2014 14:52
08. 03. 2014 21:52 CET
14 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): It was very good, very clean, nice stage. We can enjoy and save the car and try to stay on the road. I am trying to keep the same speed, trying to keep the same rhythm. This afternoon is perfect, I have very good feeling with grip, I can feel the road.
08. 03. 2014 14:45
08. 03. 2014 21:45 CET
14 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): It's a little bit tricky but I think we improve a lot. I think I am more in the pace. I think we have to be fast, we have to keep this 6th position. The changes we made are working well, we stiffened the rear suspension.
08. 03. 2014 14:43
08. 03. 2014 21:43 CET
14 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): A bit better, but the line is not great. We made some setup changes, I struggled a little to get a rhythm. We are making a lot of steps forward, some times you make the wrong step. I think it will be better in this long stage.

08. 03. 2014 19:10 CET
13 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was like a walk in the park, no worries… I try to keep a good rhythm, in the end I was concentrating on the power stage to see how it feels.
08. 03. 2014 12:02
08. 03. 2014 19:02 CET
13 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I think we caught some branches. I could not get a rhythm at all, in places it is just really sandy and you cannot get any grip at all. Mads trouble this morning is not good. We have to just stick in there and learn.
08. 03. 2014 11:53
08. 03. 2014 18:53 CET
13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Really long stage but was fine for us, just control now, not so much speed. Quite a long stage. When you start the stage you know that you start for a very long run, you prepare for that, you prepare your mind. This new section is very slow and it seems a long time.
08. 03. 2014 11:48
08. 03. 2014 18:48 CET
13 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I am doing what I can but I cannot do more than that. In this rally when you push and take risks, you can see how many drivers have had problems. The road feels nice, but there are still many surprises.

08. 03. 2014 18:42 CET
13 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It was a mixture of everything, I found it difficult to get a good rhythm in there. We started not too bad but once we got to the tight and twisty section we struggled in there. We are here to learn and sometimes you need a little bit of opposition to learn. We want a good result.

08. 03. 2014 18:41 CET
13 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): A lot of cleaning, it was very very slippery, but I enjoyed my drive. I have 2 spares wheels and with the extra weight we are sliding a lot. We have to modify the damper a bit but we cannot do all this work this weekend.
08. 03. 2014 11:39
08. 03. 2014 18:39 CET
13 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): It was difficult, conditions are changing all the time. No problem for us, we manage the stage. I now have no brakes.

08. 03. 2014 18:37 CET
13 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): Things are going okay, we are starting in the second position after Chris Atkinson, it is very difficult to clean up the roads. I have a headache, not feeling so good, there is a lot of heat in the car. Maybe in the afternoon we will get better times. We are losing plenty of time in the braking points as all the roads are very dirty. We hit in a right corner in a rear part, it was impossible to get the car in to the corner.

12 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Good stage for me, clean run. Gathering experience for next year. You definitely need experience on that one to know where you can go really fast.

08. 03. 2014 17:16 CET

12 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): We need to remember you have to finish the rally first to get the points, that is the plan. The mid section I was not completely happy, I was too aggressive with the braking.

08. 03. 2014 17:06 CET
12 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It was not easy after yesterday stupid mistake. We don't have big damage, just right rear suspension, everything is ok.

08. 03. 2014 16:54 CET
12 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): The lines of Chris where sideways in a lot of corners and I did the same, still a lot of lose. The time is not good.

11 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): he guy said the tarmac was slippery, there is oil or something down. I saw there was a concrete bollard and went for the plastic one… To be in this team, we always knew there was a lot of work to do. It has been a tough day, but a nice day.
07. 03. 2014 18:19
08. 03. 2014 01:19 CET

08. 03. 2014 01:17 CET

08. 03. 2014 00:05 CET
9 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Stages are really difficult, we had quite good day and only 2 more stages to go. The problem is how slippy it is.

9 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Nothing difficult, its just been not perfect. We need to learn a lot of things. We just carry on trying, to be honest I am quite happy with what we have been doing. Now we need to move as little as possible and push again tomorrow morning.

07. 03. 2014 23:51 CET
9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's been a really good day, just super special to go then we finish the day. It's a tough rally, we see this afternoon it is very hot, the rally for sure is still very long.

07. 03. 2014 23:50 CET
9 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It is a shame the boys have had problems but it is a tough event. The roads are nice but the second time there are rocks and they are not forgiving. It has been a pretty good day, the afternoon has not been any easier.
07. 03. 2014 16:31
07. 03. 2014 23:31 CET
8 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): It's been okay, we have been quite steady. Still refining my driving style, we knew if we keep a steady pace we will get a good result.
07. 03. 2014 16:30
07. 03. 2014 23:30 CET
8 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): I am doing better, but all the drivers are doing better so it is difficult to climb positions. I think the rally is getting very rough. There are big rocks in the corners and it is very easy to damage the car. I need to do a lot of kilometres to learn the car.
07. 03. 2014 16:24
07. 03. 2014 23:24 CET
8 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It is enjoyable but it is very difficult, so tricky. It is good but we have to keep in our heads it is our first time, I would really like to finish this rally.

07. 03. 2014 23:23 CET
8 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I am not happy with the car, now we make some changes and we lose a lot with the wrong setup. For tomorrow I hope it will be more clever…

07. 03. 2014 23:20 CET
8 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I am really pleased with myself, I am doing very well. We knew we were not at the same level as the others, but we work on it. We struggle with the altitude, even on the settings.

7 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Its so good, I have to thank the guys they have done a good job. Lets try to continue in this direction.

07. 03. 2014 22:41 CET
7 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): You can feel very warm temperature. Not happy with the setup of the car this afternoon, not enough grip. We are losing a lot and we are sliding a lot more.

07. 03. 2014 22:37 CET
7 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Quite bumpy, I was a bit stiff on my settings, jumping around. I sweat a lot so you can see I have a good stage.

07. 03. 2014 22:20 CET
7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was a very hard stage, hot in the car, hot for the car also. Hard challenge but I am glad we have done a good job.

07. 03. 2014 22:18 CET
7 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I think it felt alright but the stage was still quite slippy. Now it was hot in the car, physically it was more demanding. This rally is long, with long stages, a lot can happen so just need to stay cool.
07. 03. 2014 14:52
07. 03. 2014 21:52 CET
6 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): No problems, just finding the rhythm. A distracting morning, so got to get back on the game. It'll come, just part of the learning process. We are testing just as much as racing.

6 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I was doing quite a good stage. A few places where I was not pushing well enough, but not so bad. I am never happy to lose time but to be honest, I did a good stage.
07. 03. 2014 14:30
07. 03. 2014 21:30 CET
6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): We had a problem in the first hairpin, I almost spin, I lost two seconds there and then it was a good stage.

07. 03. 2014 18:53 CET
5 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): All this morning has been very difficult. It is very difficult to do the launch control on this tarmac stage. I think I lose five seconds on the start. I hope the afternoon will be better than this morning. I am going to push in the afternoon.
07. 03. 2014 11:52
07. 03. 2014 18:52 CET
5 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): I think the issue from the long stage is this hot temperature and long distance, but I think they will fix it in service.
07. 03. 2014 11:51
07. 03. 2014 18:51 CET
5 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Now we manage and looking forward to the afternoon. It can be always better after yesterday, I can say it was a good morning.
07. 03. 2014 11:50
07. 03. 2014 18:50 CET
5 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Quite interesting to see where we are in this conditions. I had a few really good stages, now on this short one I tried to push. This afternoon definitely I will try some other things and we have to see if we can improve or not. This morning the roads had a lot of cleaning and this afternoon they have not.
07. 03. 2014 11:27
07. 03. 2014 18:27 CET
5 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): In the start of the long stage, we were really lucky we did not get a second puncture there. We are in a good fight and we have to push a bit harder.
07. 03. 2014 11:25

5 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It's been an interesting morning, still a lot to learn and we are still here. We have to build on it this afternoon. We have not pushed too much. We need to look at improving the technique and hopefully the speed will come with that.
07. 03. 2014 11:21
07. 03. 2014 18:21 CET
5 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Quite tricky, some parts are just so slippery, some parts are not cleaning at all and you simply have no grip. I am still not completely comfortable, maybe on the second loop we can pick it up.
07. 03. 2014 11:13
07. 03. 2014 18:13 CET
5 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I did not force anything, we forgot to take the radiator masks off.

07. 03. 2014 18:12 CET
5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is funny, we use a bike track on this stage, quite slow, quite a lot of hairpins. This morning, second on the road, difficult to use any lines.

07. 03. 2014 18:10 CET
5 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It's been a really good morning, it has not been easy. I am not on a vacation in my office over here! For sure I am in a difficult position, but there will be a little bit of a line on the second loop. On the braking and the acceleration there will be some traction. For the privilege of being first on the road for sure you know there are no rocks on the road.

07. 03. 2014 18:02 CET
4 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): On a long left corner, I felt something strange, I thought I had a puncture. Now I guess an arm has broken. I haven't hit anything. It's difficult to drive, we could fix it but we need to see how long it is going to take.
07. 03. 2014 10:57
07. 03. 2014 17:57 CET
4 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): The first stages was a little bit difficult, we had problem with the steering rack. I think the times are improving and we can go faster on the second loop.

4 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Just the temperature causing gearshift problem, this stage was ok. In the previous stage I lost the down shift. I know the solution to help it, but we see what the guys in service will say.

4 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): I really tried to push as hard as I can. It's okay. I am doing it right now (taking the fight to the front) so hopefully I can keep it like that.
07. 03. 2014 10:38
07. 03. 2014 17:38 CET
4 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not so bad, I was not so comfortable on the long stage. It's learning how to drive and get the best out of the car. Hopefully we will do a bit better on the second loop. The car has been really good, really nice to drive, it's just me.
07. 03. 2014 10:30
07. 03. 2014 17:30 CET
4 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Very good start, I am very pleased, we are really enjoying the stages and the car is working well. I really have fun, I really enjoy it.

07. 03. 2014 17:26 CET
4 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I felt good on this stage, I found more grip on the ground. The first two were so slippy.

07. 03. 2014 10:17
07. 03. 2014 17:17 CET
3 flash info (11 - Guerra Benito / Rozada Borja): It is difficult, we have a problem with the steering rack it is moving all the way. I don't know if it is going to break so we have to take it easy on the fast sections.
07. 03. 2014 10:13
07. 03. 2014 17:13 CET
3 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Last 30-kilometres of the stage I drove without any hydraulics in the gear change. I am very surprised with the time as he had to drive one handed.

07. 03. 2014 17:08 CET
3 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): It was good, was difficult because sometimes the grip is very bad. Getting use to this grip is difficult.
07. 03. 2014 10:06
07. 03. 2014 17:06 CET
3 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I try my best but we still have some changes to do on the car, I do not feel comfortable, we still do not have the power.
07. 03. 2014 10:00
07. 03. 2014 17:00 CET
3 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Lot to learn for sure. A lot of room for improvement in there. Struggle for the brakes.
07. 03. 2014 09:59
07. 03. 2014 16:59 CET
3 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): We did ok, we lost a little bit, maybe we need to be a little bit stiffer with the car. Some places it is cleaning, but not all the way through.

3 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Mikkelsen went off in the narrow section, he just ran wide and hit a big rock. I ran wide on the same place. I did not have a good rhythm in here at all, I really pulled back after I saw that. I am not interested in the time, I just want to find my own rhythm.
07. 03. 2014 09:50
07. 03. 2014 16:50 CET
3 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): So far it is more fast drivers coming behind me so we see. Another good stage for us. No problem with the car, it is difficult to be 100% perfect for a long stage like that. Everything with the car is 100% perfect.
07. 03. 2014 09:49
07. 03. 2014 16:49 CET
3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is very very slippery, we do what we can but we are going to lose time on this one.

3 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Everything is ok, I thought I was losing a lot of time on the stage. It was so so slippery on the stage, so slippy. When you are climbing that is when you lose the most.

07. 03. 2014 16:12 CET
2 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): Was good, I improve a lot, had a good feeling with the car. We had a problem with the start, we could make it uphill at the start to the time control, so we get penalty.

07. 03. 2014 16:07 CET
2 flash info (7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): There was some dust, but not a lot. I had a good clean run.

07. 03. 2014 16:00 CET
2 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): We get a puncture already on there, it slowed us down a little bit. A couple of places it was a problem with dust.

2 flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Got caught in a lot of dust, in a little twisty section in the bushes I had to come back to 2nd gear where I should have been in 5th. It does not seem to be cleaning, there is still a lot of lose on the top.
07. 03. 2014 08:54
07. 03. 2014 15:54 CET
2 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Just in the third corner it was so dusty, I did not see and I drive over something. The dust was terrible, really bad.
07. 03. 2014 08:53
07. 03. 2014 15:53 CET
2 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Its quite a good start. There was some problem with the dust, it was very difficult to see in some places, so maybe I was too careful. When I can see, I can see a line.
07. 03. 2014 08:47
07. 03. 2014 15:47 CET
2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is difficult, I did not see so much of a line at all. Also we have problem with dust, a couple of places we lost some seconds with dust.

07. 03. 2014 15:46 CET
2 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): The road is in a nice conditions, it is very clean there is no rock. On the top of the surface there is a big pollution before the hard ground. For sure I am not getting to the hard ground. It may be that we lose some time, I don't know.

07. 03. 2014 03:35 CET
1 flash info (8 - Atkinson Chris / Prévot Stéphane): Fantastic experience. Something happened after the start so we had to stop for twenty seconds and reset the car. I don't know what happened. Not the perfect start but a long way to go.

06. 03. 2014 20:27
07. 03. 2014 03:27 CET
1 flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): It is something special driving on tarmac with gravel tyres. A lot of people, I think rally needs to come closer to the spectators. It will be difficult, it will be a very difficult rally.
06. 03. 2014 20:25
07. 03. 2014 03:25 CET
1 flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I am concentrate for tomorrow, it will be very difficult.

06. 03. 2014 20:21
07. 03. 2014 03:21 CET
1 flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Fantastic to see so many people. No drama, nothing special, it was quite slippery and would be easy to catch people out. We are here to learn as always, here to learn and make the most of the opportunity.
06. 03. 2014 20:19
07. 03. 2014 03:19 CET
1 flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was quite slippy, no surprise, but we made it. Full attack in the morning and we shall have to see what we can do.

07. 03. 2014 03:16 CET
1 flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): I need to be a little bit fast here, I cannot go at the same pace I did in Sweden. Fantastic atmosphere, so many fans.
06. 03. 2014 20:14
07. 03. 2014 03:14 CET
1 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It is a nice stage to be honest, maybe not the stage but all the people. It's the first rally on gravel, the feeling in Sweden was really good and I am looking forward to the start tomorrow.
06. 03. 2014 20:12
07. 03. 2014 03:12 CET
1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It is a great feeling, atmosphere. We have done the stage quite carefully. Always slippery on these cobble stone you have to be careful.

07. 03. 2014 03:11 CET
1 flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Very special, I like how enthusiastic these people are. The first stage was okay, a bit slippy on top.
