INFORMATION ABOUT SS 18
retired (43 - Magalhães Bruno / Magalhães Carlos): retired after SS 18
flash info (25 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I don't think it will be possible to catch Østberg. On this stage we really struggled - I think it's related to the rear tyres, it just snaps a lot. Let's see what we can do on the next one.
flash info (23 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): We are doing our best, but I don't feel comfortable. We are still playing with the settings and trying to get into the frame of the car, but we are still outside to be honest. I am not too happy, it frustrates me a little bit. Okay, the pace is not bad, but it could be a lot better.
flash info (24 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): It was slippery. We had to put two hard tyres on - we have to do what we have to do.
flash info (22 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Really nice. The grip was a bit higher than I expected, so I could really enjoy it.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): So far so good. The first one this morning was a fairly interesting stage, but things are working okay so we're happy enough.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Rozada Borja): I am not really happy with our time in the first stage. The second stage we tried to push, but the car was moving a lot from the rear. It's so difficult to drive - there is no grip at all, I can't do anything. It's like this.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I am saving the tyres, so we will see when it comes to the power stage. It's always the target to take as much points as we can.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): Just safely through. I don't know what I can do in the power stage, but I tried to find some improvements for the future.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): It's so slippery - I felt like I was stopping the car in places and I just didn't feel like I was carrying the speed, so I've got some work to do in there. Everything is nice and calm and relaxed.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): It's really good. I am struggling with my tyres today and we tried something different, but I think it didn't work. It's part of the game and it's our first time here.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Hopefully we can enjoy next time. We need to try, so we will try.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was quite tricky. It was really good grip on the stage, much more than I was expecting, so I was not pushing so hard. It's going to be a tricky power stage.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a high-speed recce, but a lot of cleaning for the first pass. The second pass should be better.
