Information
Date and time SS Information
18.01.2014 21:01 15 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It's been really really tough, I'm so happy we managed to do it through all the weekend. Big thanks to the whole team, I'm really happy.
18.01.2014 20:01 14 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): So difficult conditions, then we saw yellow flags in the middle of the stage. Now maximum attack for three points in the Power Stage!
18.01.2014 16:01 13 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Difficult conditions, but I think we did the job.
18.01.2014 15:01 12 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): We had a puncture, five or six kilometers from the end. We lost a lot of time.
17.01.2014 18:01 11 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I try to play it safe, I find it difficult to drive safe with this car at the moment. We were very slow on this stage but that is how it is. It has been a very interesting day and we have learned a lot of things. I am happy to be at the end of this day now.
17.01.2014 15:01 10 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Just getting better and better. The feel in was good through the stage. I am in no pressure, I wanted to push on this stage but I held back a little bit. I think the driving is better and better.
17.01.2014 13:01 9 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): I am quite happy, it was a much better stage. We learn a lot the first time through. I am still not perfect. I fix 70% of the problem from the first pass. Maybe the time is not perfect, but I am happy.
17.01.2014 11:01 8 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): The stop for the time control is far too close to the finish. Absolutely flat out in 6th gear and then we have 100-metre on shiny tarmac, we finished on field.
17.01.2014 09:01 7 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Very scary, a lot of aqua-planing, really really tricky. Maybe some mud was pulled out on the road. The rain increased quite a lot towards the end and we had to slow down quite a lot.
16.01.2014 14:01 5 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was not too good. I tried not a safe choice on the tyre for this one and we made a mistake, we chose a cross between slick and winter tyre and it was not the right one, there was too much dirt on the road.
16.01.2014 13:01 4 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Not one single moment. It is the first time I drive like this on the snow tyre with the stage like this. I just progress through trying to go faster and faster. Not a good stage but I learn a lot.
16.01.2014 10:01 3 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It’s quite difficult. It's just unbelievable on snow. I think we survived quite well.
16.01.2014 08:01 2 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Incredible, on this stage some tricky sections, I feel I am not so use to the car yet, I do two spins which I need not to do… My instincts are still not use to this car yet. We had two full spins and we lose 15 to 20 seconds. I need to learn the car and if it is only spins, it is not too much drama.
16.01.2014 08:01 1 flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): Unbelievable. So so tricky conditions, the snow took me completely by surprise. We went off the road, we were very very lucky. Ok difficult conditions, I think everyone was taken by surprise and so was I.
16.01.2014 07:01 1 (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): was out of the road
