INFORMATION ABOUT SS 14
retired (23 - Kovalainen Heikki / Kitagawa Sae): technical problem - gearbox in SS 14
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I thought I was going to be a minute down. It was raining very early on into the stage - I can't believe it.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): We thought we had seen the worst, but the weather always amazes us here! We had a message before the start that it should be dry but the wind is so strong that it is changing so quickly.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): This rally just keeps on giving! I have hard tyres on the front axle and the last part of the stage is wet. You can imagine that it's not easy!
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I think the hard tyres are not the best on these conditions! It was good at the beginning but at at the end.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's starting to come...
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Of course, the target is fourth place but it's not so easy to catch Ott [Tänak]. When I feel confident and he is not so much pushing, this is the only time I can gain time.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We are just coming through and trying a few things on the car, that's all we can do. Little set-up things and tyres - we can get some information for next year.
