Information
Date and time SS Information
29.07.2018 22:07 11 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Very nervous watching my team-mates, I had never experienced that problem before so I don't know what the problem was. I was waiting for 45 minutes so maybe that's how I avoided it?
29.07.2018 21:07 10 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The afternoon has not really been good. The first two stages were very nice but after that the tyre wear was big. I've had to save the tyres since Urria. We are not losing a lot of time which is good because the end it was all about getting through the afternoon for us.
29.07.2018 21:07 9 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): The risk is quite high, we had some tyre wear and I could not push. I just had to go a decent speed and take no cuts. I'm not happy with my speed, again it's on purpose and I can't do anything else.
29.07.2018 20:07 8 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I had to back off on the rough sections, if you're driving for nothing you can just take the rocks but I knew Ott wasn't as fast through there and I was backing off on purpose.
29.07.2018 20:07 7 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I saw I was leading with 0.1 before the stage, so I though here on I'd just play it safe! You can see I'm sweating, you can tell how hard I'm pushing.
29.07.2018 19:07 6 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Really tricky stage, the dust was incredible. I did take some risk in the dust because I know what Ott is willing to do and I must do the same. I really enjoy the car and I enjoy to work with Citroën, I just enjoy my time for sure.
29.07.2018 19:07 5 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Very slippery, I didn't have an easy stage for sure. I tried to push but I made a few mistakes because I was trying to push a bit too hard.
29.07.2018 18:07 4 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): I pushed like anything. I'm very happy with that.
29.07.2018 18:07 3 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Well there was quite rough sections, cars in front are cutting and I didn't want to risk going over the big rocks like the cars ahead. Wanted to avoid the punctures.
26.07.2018 19:07 1 flash info (10 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): For this I have no clue, because it is not a stage that suits us really well but in shakedown the car was really strong and suits me really well.
