INFORMATION ABOUT SS 14
retired (94 - Andersson Mats / Jonsson Jörgen): retired in SS 14
flash info (31 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): The engine is down on power again. A different problem to the turbo-related one we had earlier.
flash info (34 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel): I'm surprised to be leading after the previous stage when we drove 7km on a puncture. This one I drove fast but without risk. It's important we get both cars to the finish.
flash info (33 - Tidemand Pontus / Andersson Jonas): It's getting close. Everything can happen. It feels like I find a better rhythm here. Smoother, and better for the tyre temperatures.
flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): We found a compromise and the car feels better. It's difficult to commit on your first high-speed pass when everyone else is on their second.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): It was a good one, I have to say, but in my mind I remembered my puncture on the first stage so I was careful in the cuts - not too deep.
flash info (10 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Really enjoyable and now I have some ideas for tomorrow. We can go stiffer with the dampers I think.
flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): Definitely better than this morning but I struggled with my pace notes here. Sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow. I'm not happy with them.
flash info (21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan): I didn't push hard enough early on, so I increased my speed and I really enjoyed the faster sections. I'm happy with my pace there.
flash info (12 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): A smooth day. That's been the most important.
flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): On the high speed sections we have a lot of understeer and it's hard to commit. When you lose the front aero you lose the confidence.
flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): It was ok. Trying to adjust my driving a bit. It's working quite well. Not so easy. We did what we wanted to here.
flash info (4 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): We still have understeer. We tried to drive a little slower to see if that improved the grip but we made a small mistake in the last split. I tried to do my best and I am happy with my driving but ok, I am very disappointed to lose the time.
flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Doing what we can. Trying to looks for quite small margins. Neuville gave us a sniff of the podium on the first stage after lunch, but he's picked up since then.
flash info (3 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): That went quite well. The car was working at 95 per cent I'd say. It's a pity. Without the understeer we could be really, really fast.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's a nice battle with Dani. I'm happy with the job we have done. It's been a good loop. A clean drive. Ok, we have not so much pressure in the drivers' championship now, but there's still the manufacturers' championship and I don't want to do anything bad for the team.
