INFORMATION ABOUT SS 18
retired (84 - Kiviniemi Kristian / Kangas Matti): accident in SS 18
flash info (41 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I have to say I have no idea. On brakign on the ruts. Something broke and then we lost everything from there. I dont' know what happened, I hit something on the ruts I'm so sorry. I don't think I'll make it through the next stage.
(41 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): damaged damper
retired (31 - Veiby Ole Christian / Skjærmoen Stig Rune): accident in SS 18
flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): It was ok. To be honest I don't know how Latvala did that with only one spare. I have two spares, I feel the weight all the time. I thought that would have helped me but there are only 15km left.
flash info (7 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Yeah it was a bit difficult with these tyres. The fight is going on and I try to push. The time is good compared to the others except Esapekka. I was pushing as hard as I can with these tyres, I'll be okay for the next stage.
flash info (6 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): Our tyres are really bad after the last one so we took the call to take it easy on this one. Looking at the times Lappi must have taken a lot out of his tyres as well, so we should be better for the next one.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It is difficult to beat them but. The stage was okay, I was struggling a bit with the grip, it was quite sandy at the end and I couldn't get the grip.
flash info (2 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): We hit a really bad hole in a really fast place, it shoved us wide and it gave us a bit of an imbalance. I think we should make it through the last stage but we'll have to check the car before the next one.
flash info (11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I struggled a little bit with the front of the car, struggled with confidence with the front as the stage went on, especially with the ruts. I made a little change thinking it would help me before the stage but I don't think it did.
flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The rears are going off, it is a little bit too hot for those tyres and they're starting to slide a bit. Small problem with the brakes at one point in the stage. I had to slow down a bit.
flash info (4 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We had a moment on a right-hand over crest a little bit, the rear tyres are starting to move a little bit. If I try to push harder I go out into the loose. It isn't easy.
flash info (41 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I have to say I have no idea. On brakign on the ruts. Something broke and then we lost everything from there. I dont' know what happened, I hit something on the ruts I'm so sorry. I don't think I'll make it through the next stage.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I've been very careful now, just being precise.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I'm not pushing. Just holding station until the end of the day.
flash info (9 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Tyres are quite finished, I pushed pretty hard.
