Information
Date and time SS Information
29.07.2018 16:07 23 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We tried, a difficult weekend for us but we knew that coming here. We were nearly first on the road all weekend. Ogier was in a better position because he had team-mates who could help him move up a position.
30.07.2018 02:07 22 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We will see what strategy M-Sport is playing and what problem Suninen is going to have. We'll push as hard as possible.
30.07.2018 02:07 21 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I don't know. I tried to do a good stage to see what is possible for the Power Stage. It is hard to push the car hard on this stage.
30.07.2018 01:07 20 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The road is very slippy, in this condition you can really feel it. We have a lot of work to do.
28.07.2018 20:07 19 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): In these conditions I can't do more than that. I can't take risks.
30.07.2018 01:07 18 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The rears are going off, it is a little bit too hot for those tyres and they're starting to slide a bit. Small problem with the brakes at one point in the stage. I had to slow down a bit.
30.07.2018 01:07 17 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Conditions are completely different now, much more enjoyable.
30.07.2018 01:07 16 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): When it is good like now on the second pass it is a lot better. Plan is to keep it on the road and watch what happens in front of me.
30.07.2018 00:07 15 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We knew that at some point being first one on the road was going to be a disadvantage, we'll be happy as long as Ogier doesn't take too many points.
30.07.2018 00:07 14 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): Every car is going faster but I'm pleased to not be the first on the road any more.
30.07.2018 00:07 13 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The grip isn't really better. When you go at that speed and it is that loose you can't take any risks. Now there are some lines so I can push a bit harder. It is more enjoyable than yesterday.
29.07.2018 22:07 11 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): That damage must be from this morning. They did a great job at mid-day service. We tried to do the best we could with the conditions on the road.
29.07.2018 21:07 10 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's not much to do, it's lot about road position. We struggled with grip and consistency in the car, there's not much I can do.
29.07.2018 21:07 9 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I can't be happy about the position, but we knew from the beginning it was going to be tough. Being first on the road has been a disaster but I can't do more than that.
29.07.2018 20:07 8 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): The situation is not so bad actually because Ogier is only two positions ahead of us. We have to do our best and keep the car on the road.
29.07.2018 20:07 7 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was ok, much better conditions than in the first pass, it was much more enjoyable. In these conditions the car is definitely working better.
29.07.2018 19:07 6 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I try, but it is not working. A lot of loose, especially in the first pass being first on the road. Towards the end it felt like I was at the maximum. The rain wouldn't change anything.
29.07.2018 19:07 5 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I went off on this one, I made a mistake. It was a pace note that was too optimistic. I was thinking about changing it but I then didn't hear the next one.
28.07.2018 11:07 5 (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): was out of road
29.07.2018 18:07 4 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): We are doing our best but the conditions are very loose and I can't do any more to be honest. The car is not behaving as it should. We focus on our main goal of keeping in touch with Seb and finishing ahead of him at the end of the weekend.
26.07.2018 19:07 1 flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It is going to be a close fight this weekend, I was careful through this stage. I'm hoping the improvements mean we are going to be faster this year than last. We'll have to see what happens this weekend, we are in a championship battle and I don't want to take risks.
