Information

Date and time SS Information
24. 01. 2021 13:39 CET 15 retired (23 - Solberg Oliver / Johnston Aaron): accident in SS 15
24. 01. 2021 13:21 CET 15 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): That's not a bad end to the weekend! The car has been amazing - it's been such a pleasure. I almost have tears in my eyes and I think it was a good decision to do one more year. The team is great - such a huge thanks to all of them. Jari - welcome boss for the win!
24. 01. 2021 13:18 CET 15 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's been good, but I felt never 100% as it should have been. There were some good stages, but never consistently where I'd really like to be. Perhaps we were just a little below the point you could call the level of risk.
24. 01. 2021 13:11 CET 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Very pleased to be at the end of the rally. We knew it would be a real challenge and I didn't know what to expect. Martijn has done a really good job for his first time in a WRC car. Good points for the team, even if it wasn't the greatest weekend for Hyundai.
24. 01. 2021 13:07 CET 15 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was basically a nice weekend driving-wise, but we missed a good result with many unlucky things. I can be happy with my driving and thanks to the team.
24. 01. 2021 13:02 CET 15 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): We didn't do very well - from the beginning I was not on the pace. The only thing we can do is try to help the team. In some stages I was not very confident in some places but it's okay, we will come back stronger.
24. 01. 2021 13:01 CET 15 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): The most important thing is I got a lot of experience from the very tricky conditions. The speed is getting higher and the confidence is also coming. This stage I was very careful, but it's better than being stopped on the stage!
24. 01. 2021 12:56 CET 15 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): I wouldn't say positives - I'd say it's been the worst performance of my career to date. I feel like with the preparation I've had, I should have delivered a much better performance. It's happened now, I'm going to learn from it and improve on it for the next one.
24. 01. 2021 12:53 CET 15 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I did a good stage in this one this morning and I wanted to take some points here to thank the team. I made a stupid mistake and got stuck in a ditch, so I'm very disappointed. Thanks to them - they did a fantastic job to rebuild the car on Friday night.
24. 01. 2021 12:52 CET 15 (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): was out of road
24. 01. 2021 12:48 CET 15 flash info (30 - Rossel Yohan / Fulcrand Benoît): I think it's okay, but I don't know what happened. I was in cleaning my driving but it came after 8km. After looking at my time, I should be okay, but it's so difficult!
24. 01. 2021 12:48 CET 15 (30 - Rossel Yohan / Fulcrand Benoît): puncture
24. 01. 2021 12:42 CET 15 flash info (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): It has been really nice. Tricky in the last stage because there was no gravel crew allowed. The key to success here is to be at one with your gravel crew and luckily I work very closely with my crew all of the time. We spent some time here before the recce to get synchronised and it has paid off.
24. 01. 2021 12:42 CET 15 flash info (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): It was a really nice rally for us. We had very good pace and fighting with Andreas was really nice. I want to say thank you to M-Sport - they did a perfect job all weekend.
24. 01. 2021 12:41 CET 15 (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): spun
24. 01. 2021 12:41 CET 15 flash info (24 - Camilli Eric / Buresi François-Xavier): It's very slippery - sometimes you don't think it's so bad and it is. It wasn't so easy and we are happy to finish the rally. P3 in WRC2 should do, we're happy with that after a year without driving.
24. 01. 2021 12:21 CET 15 retired (63 - Delgery François / Schwab Stan): didnt put car to final parc ferme
24. 01. 2021 12:06 CET 15 Starting order: Camilli, Fourmaux, Mikkelsen, Rossel, Loubet, Greensmith, Katsuta, Sordo, Rovanperä, Neuville, Evans, Ogier
24. 01. 2021 12:05 CET 14 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was just a clean drive. Conditions were much easier to read and the car was working well. I just enjoyed the driving.
24. 01. 2021 12:05 CET 14 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Still quite tricky and still frozen in places. It was a steady enough run through with no problems.
24. 01. 2021 12:05 CET 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are trying to save the tyres for the last stage to bring back the result for the team.
24. 01. 2021 12:05 CET 14 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): The stage is much better than before - there's less ice and it's little bit more easier.
24. 01. 2021 12:09 CET 13 retired (61 - Coppens Mike / Gordon Fabrice): accident in SS 13
24. 01. 2021 12:03 CET 13 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was better than expected - I really expected very low grip and I was very careful. No risks at all for me in there.
24. 01. 2021 12:02 CET 13 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I was careful - but what do you do in these conditions? We're trying to strike the balance between being tidy and not too slow, it's difficult.
24. 01. 2021 12:02 CET 13 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): After the puncture there is nothing really we can do - the gap is too big. I am not pushing anymore and I'm just focussed on keeping my position.
24. 01. 2021 12:02 CET 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I tried to avoid all the cuts in this one - we don't want to get a puncture. We're looking forward to finishing the rally like this.
24. 01. 2021 12:01 CET 13 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I don't think it's worse than the first one - it's a little more stable and you can read it. I just tried not to make any mistakes - if we can bring two cars to the end and take some points that's all we can do.
24. 01. 2021 12:01 CET 13 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): We spun and lost more than thirty seconds. There was a lot of ice - my gravel crew did a good job with very good information, but the conditions were just so tricky.
24. 01. 2021 12:01 CET 13 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): Worse than expected. We spun in a narrow section, so I lost a lot of time trying to turn the car around. Very tricky.
24. 01. 2021 12:01 CET 13 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I don't know - you have no grip at all. At the end it was like the previous one - so difficult to stay on the road.
24. 01. 2021 12:00 CET 13 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): stalled engine
24. 01. 2021 12:00 CET 13 (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): spun
24. 01. 2021 11:59 CET 13 Stage is full of snow.
24. 01. 2021 12:09 CET 12 retired (88 - Monnet Thierry / Saxemard Quentin): accident in SS 12
24. 01. 2021 11:59 CET 12 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): There is no info from the gravel crew that you can trust, just because it's changed so much since they passed through. A tricky one.
24. 01. 2021 11:59 CET 12 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very slippery. Just impossible to judge the grip really.
24. 01. 2021 11:59 CET 12 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We have a puncture - there was something at the beginning of the stage. I don't know if it was a loose rock or something - I didn't even see it.
24. 01. 2021 11:59 CET 12 (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): puncture
24. 01. 2021 11:58 CET 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Really tricky - a lot of ice, even in places where it was humid. I did a good stage but there were no risks in there, so I don't know if it's enough.
24. 01. 2021 11:58 CET 12 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I have never driven a stage as tricky as this one - it was amazing. How slippery is it? Some places, it's another level!
24. 01. 2021 11:58 CET 12 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): We just need to finish, so we can't take any big risks. This stage was already very tricky and the conditions are changing a lot.
24. 01. 2021 11:58 CET 12 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): It felt pretty good. God, was that slippy! I've not driven a stage like that in my life. I don't know what to say!
24. 01. 2021 11:57 CET 12 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was so strange - it was like driving on slick tyres on ice. I don't know if it was because I was first, but it was difficult to drive.
24. 01. 2021 11:57 CET 12 (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): was out of road
24. 01. 2021 11:56 CET 12 Start finally at 8:50.
24. 01. 2021 11:56 CET 12 New start will be at 8:45.
24. 01. 2021 11:56 CET 12 Start of stage will be delayed.
23. 01. 2021 22:27 CET 11 retired (77 - Cittadino Alain / Santi Luca): retired after SS 11
23. 01. 2021 15:01 CET 11 retired (82 - László Zoltán / Berendi Dávid): retired after SS 11
23. 01. 2021 13:19 CET 11 (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): puncture
23. 01. 2021 13:04 CET 11 flash info (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): We lost one minute on the stage before, so now we need to keep Eric behind us. I decided to push a bit more compared to this morning.
23. 01. 2021 13:03 CET 11 flash info (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): We have a big lead and we have to take care of it as well as possinle. For us, it's quite easy now - we don't need to push to we just have to get to the end.
23. 01. 2021 13:03 CET 11 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I needed that really! It's been a frustrating day, just not really being on the money. I tried to stay in the ruts and out of trouble. We'll try and keep the pressure on Seb.
23. 01. 2021 13:03 CET 11 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Very clean. The conditions have changed a lot since the gravel crew have passed, so I had to trust what I saw. It was a clean drive for me.
23. 01. 2021 13:03 CET 11 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): That sounds good. It was quite tricky and I had a problem with my ear plugs - Jonne had to scream because I couldn't hear the notes.
23. 01. 2021 13:02 CET 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay. Another tricky day, but we are constantly improving in the car. It wasn't a big attack but we had a nice rhythm to the stage. I didn't take any risks.
23. 01. 2021 13:02 CET 11 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I was very slow. We need to bring the two cars to the end of the rally so the only way is to go more careful than before. I didn't want to take any risks for nothing.
23. 01. 2021 13:02 CET 11 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): I am trying to drive relaxed but obviously this stage my gravel crew did a great job. It was very easy to see what was coming and I had a lot of confidence in the pace notes. The most important thing is we are here - that was the biggest aim for us today.
23. 01. 2021 13:02 CET 11 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): That felt okay. I had a stall quite early on and lost maybe five seconds there. Apart from that it was okay.
23. 01. 2021 13:01 CET 11 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was very slippery - a lot of dirty parts with a lot of gravel. It was hard to find the grip.
23. 01. 2021 13:08 CET 10 retired (57 - Miele Mauro / Beltrame Luca): retired after SS 10
23. 01. 2021 13:01 CET 10 retired (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): double puncture after SS 10
23. 01. 2021 11:13 CET 10 retired (91 - Cusimano Alain / Kukulka Sylvain): retired in SS 10
23. 01. 2021 11:09 CET 10 flash info (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): On the first corner, we got a puncture. I did the whole stage on the rim and I spun once. I am really disappointed.
23. 01. 2021 11:09 CET 10 (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): puncture
23. 01. 2021 11:08 CET 10 flash info (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): The grip is quite constant - constantly low I would say! It's quite nice - we took it quite careful. We have a good gap and we are going to control it.
23. 01. 2021 11:08 CET 10 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): We had a stall, but other than that it was just very difficult in there. Maybe we were too careful down the hill into the village - I don't know.
23. 01. 2021 11:07 CET 10 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): There was no grip - I don't know. I hope I don't lose 42sec to Elfyn!
23. 01. 2021 11:07 CET 10 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It felt good, I don't know why the time is like that. I felt that I had no grip, but the pace and rhythm was quite good.
23. 01. 2021 11:07 CET 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We did a better stage - a much better rhythm in the car. I don't feel comfortable to be honest and I am hesitating too much.
23. 01. 2021 11:07 CET 10 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I didn't have good information about the surface. It was tricky, but the feeling in the car was not good.
23. 01. 2021 11:06 CET 10 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): puncture
23. 01. 2021 11:05 CET 10 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): Just the conditions I think - they are getting more polished every time and we had no traction at all after the tight corners.
23. 01. 2021 11:05 CET 10 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): I felt like I was driving a pretty good stage, but the time is shocking. That pretty much sums up this weekend.
23. 01. 2021 11:05 CET 10 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): There's a lot of snow on the road, so I was cleaning a bit. I didn't too many risks.
23. 01. 2021 11:04 CET 10 Stage is full of snow and ice.
23. 01. 2021 11:13 CET 9 retired (66 - Dizier Grégory / Dizier Sophie): accident in SS 9
23. 01. 2021 11:12 CET 9 retired (70 - Radet Nicolas / Palacio Mathieu): accident in SS 9
23. 01. 2021 11:04 CET 9 flash info (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): We had a lot of ice and it was difficult to see where it was dry. It's okay, we are still here and that's what's important.
23. 01. 2021 11:03 CET 9 flash info (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): We drove comfortably. Very tricky conditions, but my information is really spot on. I have the best gravel crew in the whole world.
23. 01. 2021 11:03 CET 9 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I didn't think it went too great - I was too careful.
23. 01. 2021 11:03 CET 9 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The one who matters is coming behind (Evans). Some corners it felt like we didn't even have any studs, we were just sliding away. It was tricky.
23. 01. 2021 11:03 CET 9 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was at the beginning. I had a spin, then at the next corner there was a loose rock inside. It's a beautiful morning!
23. 01. 2021 11:02 CET 9 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I didn't feel so good, but I was quite careful at the beginning. When it was smooth I think my pace was good, but where there were patches of ice it could have been better.
23. 01. 2021 11:02 CET 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We just went straight on at a corner, but we didn't lose a lot of time. A difficult stage, we had to find a rhythm and it didn't work all the way along.
23. 01. 2021 11:02 CET 9 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): Its' very tricky. In some places there are a lot of grip, but in others it's very easy to make a mistake.
23. 01. 2021 11:01 CET 9 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): It's difficult. In some sections it's hard to judge if it's black ice or just shiny. I trust the information my gravel crew gave me but I was very careful.
23. 01. 2021 11:01 CET 9 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): puncture
23. 01. 2021 11:01 CET 9 (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): spun
23. 01. 2021 11:00 CET 9 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): was out of road
23. 01. 2021 11:00 CET 9 Stage is full of snow and ice.
22. 01. 2021 19:51 CET 7 retired (49 - Desangles Yanis / Theron Nicolas): retired after SS 7
22. 01. 2021 14:34 CET 7 Stage was cancelled.
22. 01. 2021 14:30 CET 7 Stage is stopped.
22. 01. 2021 14:29 CET 7 flash info (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): We are trying to keep pushing, but Andreas has been very good today. There may be some snow tomorrow and a lot of things could change.
22. 01. 2021 14:29 CET 7 flash info (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): I'm really enjoying it. The gap is quite good now and it's a nice feeling, because in the car we don't feel like we're pushing very hard. I think the Skoda is fantastic in these conditions especially and my gravel crew is also doing a great job.
22. 01. 2021 14:29 CET 7 retired (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): accident in SS 7
22. 01. 2021 14:15 CET 7 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I had more confidence. I am in more control of the car.
22. 01. 2021 14:11 CET 7 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We need to fight back. This one was difficult and it was my first time with the new winter tyres in these kind of conditions.
22. 01. 2021 14:11 CET 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): That was a really nice stage for us. Martijn did an incredible job and I was more confident as well. It will be tricky for us to catch back the time we lost this morning, but I tried to have a clean stage and it worked quite well.
22. 01. 2021 14:11 CET 7 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): No issues. I had no visibility and the screen was completely misted, but otherwise okay.
22. 01. 2021 14:11 CET 7 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's very tricky. I was too careful in some places, but the car has a mind of its own sometimes. Not specifically the car, but the conditions are just so tricky.
22. 01. 2021 14:10 CET 7 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was not ideal but there was nothing else we could do. We got unlucky with the puncture on the stage before and we had to finish with what we have.
22. 01. 2021 14:28 CET 6 retired (83 - Palmero Jean-Paul / Pastorino Mattia): accident in SS 6
22. 01. 2021 14:27 CET 6 retired (65 - Berard Christophe / Paolini Angelique): accident in SS 6
22. 01. 2021 13:40 CET 6 retired (82 - László Zoltán / Berendi Dávid): retired in SS 6
22. 01. 2021 13:36 CET 6 flash info (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): It was okay. There was a lot of mud, but I enjoyed it. The car is very stable, so it's really enjoyable even in the tricky conditions.
22. 01. 2021 13:36 CET 6 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I tried to do my best, but it was very tricky. Sometimes I was a bit careful but I'm happy to be at the end.
22. 01. 2021 13:36 CET 6 (22 - Bulacia Marco / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): stopped in stage, continue
22. 01. 2021 13:35 CET 6 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): The biggest thing is my gravel crew did a great job. The conditions were very difficult but we could drive smooth with no risks - I didn't push but the time is pretty okay. Thank you to the gravel crew!
22. 01. 2021 13:35 CET 6 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): There wasn't too much vision and the intercom is failing, so that was very tricky!
22. 01. 2021 13:35 CET 6 (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): was out of road
22. 01. 2021 13:34 CET 6 (24 - Camilli Eric / Buresi François-Xavier): was out of road
22. 01. 2021 13:34 CET 6 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): It was better for me because we had more light! Some parts are a little bit icy, but I feel more confident because I have all the same tyres.
22. 01. 2021 13:34 CET 6 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I made a mistake in the beginning. There was a really muddy cut and I lost the car - we went in a field and we had to reverse out which took a lot of time. A stupid mistake.
22. 01. 2021 13:34 CET 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There was a lot of rain in the stage. The car and tyres were working fine and we made some changes in the service. We did a nice stage and made a bit more rhythm than this morning - also Martijn has done a good stage. It was more enjoyable than this morning.
22. 01. 2021 13:33 CET 6 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was tricky. The ice is very polished and there is low grip, so I tried to do my best. Not the place to be a hero, really.
22. 01. 2021 13:33 CET 6 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was alright. The grip is changing much more extremely - one minute there's good grip and the next there's nothing at all.
22. 01. 2021 13:33 CET 6 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Puncture... there are so many cuts that it's very hard to know where the line is.
22. 01. 2021 13:32 CET 6 (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): was out of road
22. 01. 2021 13:31 CET 6 (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): puncture
22. 01. 2021 13:40 CET 5 retired (57 - Miele Mauro / Beltrame Luca): accident in SS 5
22. 01. 2021 13:31 CET 5 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was very difficult at the end. I was trying to push, but at the end it was very slippery and it was just a disaster. I'm pleased to only do this stage one time.
22. 01. 2021 13:31 CET 5 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): The stages are very tricky and there are a lot of changes on the Tarmac. It's difficult, especially for me. It's getting worse now with the cutting in places.
22. 01. 2021 13:31 CET 5 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): From the data we had on the test, it seemed like it could work but once we hit the wet parts we just had zero grip in the tyres. It's a lesson learned.
22. 01. 2021 13:30 CET 5 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): We don't have the speed. With the snow tyre, the car is moving a lot and we lost a lot of time. I don't know - I can't give an explanation.
22. 01. 2021 13:30 CET 5 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I don't know. It was really dirty and the guys in front have a much cleaner road. In this stage there are a lot of cuts which meant more gravel on the road and I was not able to push.
22. 01. 2021 13:30 CET 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): First of all, I have a snow tyre on the car. Also, in stage four, my gravel crew wasn't able to do the stage as they had an incident on the road section which meant I had no pace note corrections. I was really struggling on the snow tyre in here and we had a spin towards the end.
22. 01. 2021 13:29 CET 5 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are having some kinds of surprises and I am not very happy with that.
22. 01. 2021 13:29 CET 5 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I think it's a probably a stage that Seb knows well in this direction. We were basically a bit too careful on the shiny tar, so not great.
22. 01. 2021 13:28 CET 5 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I had a good loop. This one was not easy with a lot of gravel on the road, but we were much more confident than yesterday. Having brakes is definitely helping!
22. 01. 2021 13:25 CET 5 flash info Stage is completely clear of ice, although the surface is still wet.
22. 01. 2021 10:22 CET 5 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spin
22. 01. 2021 13:39 CET 4 retired (78 - Dessi Marc / Pastorino Angelo): retired in SS 4
22. 01. 2021 13:28 CET 4 flash info (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): It was a very difficult stage with slick tyres. It was easy to make a mistake, so I decided to push a little bit less.
22. 01. 2021 13:27 CET 4 (29 - Ciamin Nicolas / Roche Yannick): stopped in stage, continue
22. 01. 2021 13:27 CET 4 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): I think I am too careful everywhere. It's important to get to the end.
22. 01. 2021 13:27 CET 4 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): I was just so careful, especially on the shiny tar. I don't have so much confidence at the moment, so I will try to build it and push more. This is all I can do now.
22. 01. 2021 13:27 CET 4 (23 - Solberg Oliver / Johnston Aaron): spun
22. 01. 2021 13:26 CET 4 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): Just not driving well at all. It was getting really muddy and when there's no grip I have no confidence. I don't know.
22. 01. 2021 13:26 CET 4 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): With one snow tyre on the rear, the car is very difficult to drive. I was sideways in every corner.
22. 01. 2021 13:26 CET 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We have a different tyre strategy and I have a snow tyre on the car. The road is getting very dirty for the cars behind, but I did the maximum I could with the tyre I have.
22. 01. 2021 13:26 CET 4 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I don't know. Generally an okay stage, but the engine has a problem in the hairpins. There is low boost and we just have to manage it.
22. 01. 2021 13:25 CET 4 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Nothing really wrong - it didn't feel like such a bad run. It was very slippery in the middle so maybe I was too careful.
22. 01. 2021 13:25 CET 4 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The conditions were not so easy - the narrow parts were pretty greasy and slippery but I tried my best. The last five kilometres were very nice.
22. 01. 2021 13:24 CET 4 Stage is full of ice.
22. 01. 2021 13:39 CET 3 retired (96 - Biagetti Lucas / Biagetti Loan): accident in SS 3
22. 01. 2021 13:38 CET 3 retired (73 - Pavlidis Nikolaos / Harryman Allan): accident in SS 3
22. 01. 2021 13:22 CET 3 flash info (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): It's really nice to drive in the dark. This stage was really tricky and it was very slippery in some parts. I think today will be very long so we need to stay focussed.
22. 01. 2021 13:21 CET 3 flash info (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): Overall I'm happy. I lost concentration when I caught Loubet but that's okay - a tricky stage.
22. 01. 2021 13:21 CET 3 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): In these conditions it's so difficult to calculate the speed in the corners. At the beginning of the stage the visibility was really low and we slowed down a lot, then after that we drove really bad.
22. 01. 2021 13:21 CET 3 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It's going quite nicely. I made one small error on a hairpin, but other than that it was good. It was a really difficult stage - it didn't look so bad but it was really tricky.
22. 01. 2021 13:21 CET 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay. Obviously I had a different tyre choice, but I wasn't able to take the maximum from it. The road is very dirty and I could have done more, but we are progressing.
22. 01. 2021 13:20 CET 3 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Just the ice - I was careful. We are, so that's important.
22. 01. 2021 13:20 CET 3 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's very changeable. The gravel crew did a pretty good job - I felt I was going too slowly in some places but then too quick in others . A difficult one.
22. 01. 2021 13:20 CET 3 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The conditions are much different than to the recce. We had to trust the gravel crew - we were definitely a bit too safe, but we'll see.
22. 01. 2021 13:18 CET 3 Roads are mostly damp, temperature from 3°C to 6°C. Icy part before stage end.
21. 01. 2021 17:54 CET 2 Stage is cancelled.
21. 01. 2021 17:54 CET 2 Stage is interrupted.
21. 01. 2021 17:53 CET 2 retired (70 - Radet Nicolas / Palacio Mathieu): retired in SS 2

21. 01. 2021 16:33 CET 2 retired (46 - Ragues Pierre / Pesenti Julien): retired in SS 2
21. 01. 2021 16:19 CET 2 flash info (25 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola): We had a good start, I think. I tried to make the tyres work as good as possible but I had to be really careful.
21. 01. 2021 16:19 CET 2 flash info (20 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): I'm happy with my pace on this stage! We decided to push, so let's see how it compares. It was very tricky, honestly, the grip was changing everywhere. A proper Monte-Carlo stage!
21. 01. 2021 16:18 CET 2 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): At the end, I think the soft tyre would have been better. It's okay - compared with the first stage we can be happy.
21. 01. 2021 16:08 CET 2 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): The feeling is okay, I just need to understand how the tyres are working. Two spins today - tomorrow will be even more about learning.
21. 01. 2021 16:08 CET 2 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): spun
21. 01. 2021 16:04 CET 2 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): I don't know - there is some strange noise in the car. It's like nothing I have heard before. In this stage I was not driving very well, but the one before I had a good feeling. It's strange, we'll try and fix it for tomorrow.
21. 01. 2021 16:04 CET 2 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I was surprised how good the feeling was with the pace notes and everything. The gravel crew is doing a good job so we have to continue like this.
21. 01. 2021 15:53 CET 2 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): My engine stopped two times on the start line and there was only a few seconds to go! I had a clean stage apart from that.
21. 01. 2021 15:47 CET 2 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was very difficult at the start with a lot of icy sections. We were stopped before the stage for so long that we started with zero grip and it took quite a long time for us to get some heat in during the stage to get any feeling.
21. 01. 2021 15:47 CET 2 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I was quite cautious again in this stage. Let's have a look at it tonight, I'm sure the team will be able to sort something out.
21. 01. 2021 15:25 CET 2 Stage will restart at 15:29.
21. 01. 2021 15:14 CET 2 SS 2 will be delayed by a minimum of 15 minutes due to a medical emergency in the stage.
21. 01. 2021 15:52 CET 1 retired (81 - Souffez Frédéric / Darras Pascaline): retired in SS 1
21. 01. 2021 15:52 CET 1 retired (68 - Grimaud Joris / Moynier Maxence): retired in SS 1
21. 01. 2021 14:52 CET 1 flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was a bit too safe, but we are here for the next stage. I was trying to be really careful with the tyres.
21. 01. 2021 14:52 CET 1 flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): On a very narrow section we spun and hit a kerb or something. It's all okay - all part of learning.
21. 01. 2021 14:52 CET 1 (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): spun
21. 01. 2021 14:51 CET 1 flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): One minute it was fine, another it would be terrible. I need to drive better - that was pathetic.
21. 01. 2021 14:45 CET 1 flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos): The feeling was okay, but the time is so bad! I don't know - I had a good feeling with the car. I don't know, maybe there is more grip than I thought.
21. 01. 2021 14:37 CET 1 retired (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): accident in SS 1
21. 01. 2021 14:36 CET 1 flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I am quite comfortable with the car. It was a nice stage, but it was also quite tricky to learn the new tyres in the wet. The next one will be more tricky, so I'll try to be careful but also be fast.
21. 01. 2021 14:36 CET 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a strange feeling to be honest Martijn did a good job for his first stage in a WRC car. I did an okay stage and had a good feeling - the conditions are still slippery and it's quite tricky.
21. 01. 2021 14:36 CET 1 flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It was difficult - not nice!
21. 01. 2021 14:36 CET 1 flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Very tricky. In some places thre grip was quite okay and in others there was very little.
21. 01. 2021 14:35 CET 1 flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was difficult. I was a bit careful at the beginning and I had a bit of a brake issue. The pedal is sometimes going to the bottom and I have no brakes, so I need to check.
21. 01. 2021 14:20 CET 1 Stage is completely wet, temperature around 5°C.
21. 01. 2021 14:12 CET 1 Tyre choice: Ogier: 4 P Zero Supersoft + 2 Sottozero (no studs), Suninen: 5 P Zero Supersoft, Sordo: 4 P Zero Supersoft + 2 Sottozero (no studs), Tanak: 5 P Zero Supersoft, Neuville: 5 P Zero Supersoft, Evans: 4 P Zero Supersoft + 2 Sottozero (no studs), Greensmith: 5 P Zero Supersoft, Rovanpera: 4 P Zero Supersoft + 2 Sottozero (no studs)
