INFORMATION ABOUT SS 20
retired (24 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): accident in SS 20
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): One of the most challenging ones. Extremely difficult and there seemed to be zero grip, we were at walking speed near the end there. All okay.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's not over yet, so I think there's no point to discuss the [potential] result. Let's see in two stages.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Really difficult conditions again. It's more slippy than it looks. Again, just a safe drive through.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): It felt a bit better than in the morning but I said to my engineers that we needed a small change, and I need to be able to carry a bit more speed. I think I managed to do that. It doesn't feel fast but it was a bit faster on every corner, so the time is a bit better.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): I have no idea why, but I have no grip at all. I am trying but there is no grip! It's quite strange.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Even if it's not important anymore, it's always good to end the season with a good feeling. That's what we are aiming for.
