INFORMATION ABOUT SS 15
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I'm not surprised. With the two softs on the rear, we know we're going to lose some time in the upcoming stages. Once the rain comes, with the wet tyres we should be much quicker. I am relying on the information of the team and according to that there will be a lot of rain.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): A bit hairy in that first part! It's so fast and pretty patchy damp, so hard to judge the grip. Otherwise, it was fine.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We made the final decision and let's see. The information we had seemed like the best one so let's see if the rain is coming. At the moment we need to try and save the tyres for the later stages.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's okay - nothing special. A little bit damp in some sections but it was not as bad as I expected.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I think the meteo guys are sweating in both camps! Maybe we have different information, I'm not sure. We'll have to find out when the rain is coming.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It was okay. It's just about managing the tyres for the morning and making it to the end of the day to see how much of this rain comes.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): We are using this day for testing for next year. We will hopefully get the car a bit better and find some new things for the balance of the car.
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): For us, it was an easy choice. We're just looking towards the Power Stage which should be full wets. It's not so much fun with the wets on the car now though.
