INFORMATION ABOUT SS 11
flash info (32 - Kovalainen Heikki / Kitagawa Sae): Just missing a little bit this morning, tricky stages and I can't find the right balance between risk and caution. Everything is okay, just too cautious. Yesterday is forgotten, just need to try today.
flash info (31 - Arai Hiroki / Matsuo Shunsuke): It is interesting, the first one in the morning was really tricky. I don't need any horsepower, it is kind of compromising at the moment. If there is an uphill section then it is tricky, but if there is a downhill section I am flying.
flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Quite okay, this was more like a stage which I am able to enjoy a bit. It was not too bad but really on the safe side. I enjoy some stages more than the others. Some are simple or tricky, I prefer to stay at home almost.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I expected more dry, but it was really slippery a few times. I lost the line a lot, there was a lot of mud where I was not expecting. The rest was okay, on the dirty places it was not easy.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): So much information that it is so cautious, but difficult to drive over it all the time even if you know there is nothing there. Try to adapt. Far too cautious.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's never been the best stage for me that, judging by the times of the other guys that is still the case. Everything feels okay, just the time is not good.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): Is Taka quicker? Well done to Taka, I had a good stage. It is the first time in these stages. It is not easy but I am happy with my pace to be fair.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's good, nice stage, bit less pollution so I can drive a bit more. I just follow our strategy. Hopefully Séb is going as fast as possible. Of course it would be nice to get a podium but it is not the target for me this weekend, I just follow the team strategy. The target is help for the team, that is it.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): What's the plan? Very good question! Drive and try to have some speed. I try to do what I can.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): I crossed tyres with the hard and in some sections it was still too damp. It was not ideal as it is like a circuit racing track here. The grip was a bit uneven.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): We are not pushing so much, we tried to increase the speed a bit compared to the last one. I told Torstein Eriksen when we got to the finish line, we can go eight seconds quicker and then we are eight seconds behind so it was a good calculation.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The only target we have of the day is to make points position, we need to drive and get to a good rhythm. Yesterday we couldn't really work on the setup or anything, we couldn't push. Tomorrow the conditions may be slightly different, we need to push for tomorrow and learn from today.
