INFORMATION ABOUT SS 5
(36 - Otto Boehringer Nicolas / Magalhães Hugo): retired in SS 5
(25 - Jürgenson Romet / Oja Siim): It has been really good. I can't really complain. It is easier to trust the grip and you can go for it. This might be one of our worst decisions yet not to score WRC2 points here.
(23 - Lindholm Emil / Morales Gabriel): 90 times the pop off valve opened. It happened before the start of the stage. We went wide and then we had to start the car again.
(22 - Cachón Alejandro / Rozada Borja): I had a little kiss with the barrier. The tyres are dead in this part so I slid a bit more. It has been a great fight and let's see if it can be on my side.
(21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): The problem on the previous stage there was a slow puncture. We are now carrying the soft and it is not easy. At the end I was floating like hell but overall it was ok.
(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): Up the hill there was a stone and the tyre immediately dropped pressure. We had no option but to stop. That is the least of our problems to run a soft now...
(95 - Armstrong Jon / Byrne Shane): I don't think it was the correct choice in the end. the softs seemed to go off early and we didn't have the precision, so we were limited on corner speed. It is hard to have a good run nowadays. We need to keep improving.
(20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is a lot nicer this afternoon and there is still some tricky places in there. We lost a lot of time coming down the hill. I enjoyed the driving so that is the main thing.
(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am on the limit of the front everywhere. I have to slow down everywhere to be able to turn. I cannot do more. Once we are on the hard tyre the balance is gone. It is the same story with this car. This car is not meant to go fast in these conditions.
(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): There was a lot of understeer but all ok.
(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin): puncture
(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko): It was interesting. I don't know. Some sections I have really nice feeling and good flow. But in some sections we lose more, it is strange.
(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): This stage is very incredible. It is so nice to drive it. It is really demanding and very nice to be fair. You have to manage tyres and brakes. I cannot really push as it kills everything. We have not managed it well enough.
(99 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It was tricky. It was the first time doing it in the dry like this. For sure, there are some things to learn. It got quite dirty again.
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We tried the soft tyres in this one. I wanted to try it and see how it works.
(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): There is bit of dampness in the mid part where it is more dirty but not a lot.
