Information
Date and time SS Information
06.06.2021 13:06 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don’t know. It was a few things which came together which didn't work out properly. I want to thank the team because before Portugal they only had one-and-a-half days to repair the car. I am sorry I couldn't deliver this weekend, but at least we are going home with a podium for the team. Better times will come.
06.06.2021 10:06 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's the only thing we can still try to attempt some extra points. I am struggling. If we can get away with a third place this weekend, it would be a pretty good result for us.
06.06.2021 10:06 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I just had a smooth stage. To be honest, it's the same story every day. I am not able to go much faster without pushing hard and taking risks. I can't keep the car in the line.
06.06.2021 00:06 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The gap is quite big, and I had a try on some stages, but I don't have the speed. We tried some settings, we changed the dampers, but we don't get it working all together. I really struggle to find the performance we need, despite having the feeling that I am quite on the edge sometimes. I can't do much more.
05.06.2021 16:06 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I am on full hards now. I don't know, I drove like hell, but I don't think the time is good enough. I think I should have been quicker than the cars in front of me.
05.06.2021 16:06 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We didn't have any moments. We had a good stage, but the tyres on the rear are too soft I think. They got a bit hot towards the end.
05.06.2021 13:06 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The morning was okay - at least the speed was there. Unfortunately we couldn't keep up with Elfyn, who was able to increase his gap. I am trying to continue to chase him down, but it won't be easy. It's going to be a tough afternoon, with new stages, and tyre choice is getting complicated already. As we have seen already, anything can happen and the rally is still long.
05.06.2021 12:06 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): In this stage, I pushed a bit more. In the ruts, the car is more stable, so I can go a little bit faster. I am not sure if it's enough but hopefully we can keep up the pressure on Elfyn.
05.06.2021 10:06 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Not so good to be honest. I am not that confident to push. I am hesitating in all the rough. I went with a damper which we developed for Kenya and I thought it was going to work, but I am not sure if we are going the right way.
05.06.2021 09:06 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a good stage. It's quite rough in sections, so I couldn't really push in some places. We are going to try and adapt that for the next stage, which will be tough as well. I don't know if I can do much more.
04.06.2021 19:06 8 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Unfortunately not our day. We struggled in the first two stages, but then we had a lot of trouble and two punctures without hitting anything and staying in the middle of the road. We could have probably closed in the gap to Ogier without the puncture, and a stall in the last stage now. Quite a lot of things we have to sort.
04.06.2021 18:06 7 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know. I felt like we were having a puncture. I tried to carry on with the rhythm, but there were so many stones that the rim was struggling all the time.
04.06.2021 16:06 6 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I couldn't rotate the car, and there was a small gate. I went into neutral and had to re-engage gear, so I lost a few seconds there. I felt like I did a really good stage without the mistake.
04.06.2021 15:06 5 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It wasn't enough in this one, but I have too many surprises we the bottoming and crashing through. I can't rely on what I see, but we try.
04.06.2021 12:06 4 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's very rough in there, and I really struggled to keep the steering wheel. I had a lot of impacts through the steering wheel.
04.06.2021 09:06 2 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): We didn't have a good rhythm at all in the stage. I am not able to drive the car fast. I am really not confident with the handling, and that's where we are losing the time.
04.06.2021 09:06 1 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): No issues. I couldn't really attack. I didn't feel the precision you need in there, and we are going to work a bit on that. I didn't feel to push more.
