Information
Date and time SS Information
23.10.2022 13:10 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good run and I was quite happy with the car balance in there. The tyres got very hot. I am relieved to be here and I think P2 is a good result. It shows that we got a bit more speed during the weekend but there is definitely something left and we're going to work hard for it.
23.10.2022 12:10 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We're definitely going to keep the pressure - anything can happen. It's quite dirty and we have seen a lot of punctures over the years in this stage. I could have done better but I think the gap is too big at the moment.
23.10.2022 12:10 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay but I was still struggling with the understeer. Other than that I had a clean stage. We know this one very well so it's tough to make a big difference in these stages.
23.10.2022 12:10 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The beginning was okay but towards the end I started understeering. It's getting dirty as well but I had a clean run.
22.10.2022 20:10 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a tough day. We had some speed in the morning and a little bit less in the afternoon. We were hoping to stay in the fight but Ogier was more or less able to double his advantage from this morning and there was not much we could do.
22.10.2022 16:10 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a huge amount of understeer for all of the stage. I tried to be clean and not make any mistakes. It's been a difficult afternoon because I tried different settings and the performance was decreasing.
22.10.2022 15:10 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I think the tyre wear is not a problem. We have five hard tyres so it should be fine. I am changing the set-up between each stage but I can't find anything which gives us more speed. We're going to try again for the next one but I don't think we can do any more at the moment.
22.10.2022 10:10 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a clean run for us. We are still working a bit on the car and, again, when it gets dirty, I start to lose the feeling in the car and I don't know the limits. I am just trying to drive as good as I can but we still have some work left to do. I feel there is more performance to come if we can find the right settings.
22.10.2022 10:10 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The battle is not over, that's for sure. I feel like I'm pushing but I don't feel comfortable. Last year I felt much more sure about everything and here it's a bit on and off. Difficult to feel the grip and I had a lot of understeer, so we're going to work on that.
21.10.2022 18:10 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We do not have the speed and, to be honest, I can't really push to the maximum. The car starts to slide and it's difficult to know where to improve. I made some changes in here but we expected more rain.
21.10.2022 17:10 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Maybe the car is moving a bit too much. I had a clean run through but I still struggled to push. I am driving fast but I can not go to attack in every corner because I'm not sure that I will keep the grip.
21.10.2022 16:10 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had much more dirt in my notes than there actually was. I couldn't go faster if I was trusting the notes.
21.10.2022 11:10 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We had a clean run through. The tyre strategy hasn't been so easy this morning and it was a bit on the edge in here, but the balance wasn't so bad on the car. I was actually enjoying it.
21.10.2022 10:10 3 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Actually, I am still far away from the limit. Conditions are tricky, but I have no power coming out of the corners. I don't know if it's something with the mapping but I am struggling a lot with the driveability. It's something we can improve for the next loop.
21.10.2022 10:10 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not too bad. Quite an okay feeling in the car. We couldn't discover the soft tyre yesterday, so it was a bit of discovering. I think we lost a bit of time in the beginning where the road is getting dirty, but other than that it was all okay.
