Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
“The grip is not so good in places. It is always a bit longer kilometres when you are in the lead!”
Car 3. SUNINEN/MARKKULA
“It’s okay. It was quite slippery stage. We didn’t do a good job.”
Car 4. MIKKELSEN/JAEGER-SYNNEVAAG
Slid wide and off the track on the stage and lost around six seconds. “Trying to explore a little bit. It was
not a hard hit. I had to restart the car. It doesn’t matter too much, we have a good time to the car
behind.”
Car 5. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“It was very loose. I struggled with the handling of the car. I try to give my best now to see for the Power
Stage.”
Car 6. SORDO/DEL BARRIO
“I tried to push hard in the first stage and then now we have a gap it is easier for us and we will drive
carefully to the end of the rally.”
Car 7. LATVALA/ANTTILA
“It is going very well. I am happy. One problem. I have seen the proposal for the Power Stage. I will be
first World Rally Car on the road. I am in eighth positon. The Rally2 guys should be in the front. On the
next rally I can stop talking. That is my choice then. I want you to consider what is fair and what is not
fair!”
Car 8. TÄNÄK/JARVEOJA
“I was checking couple of places for the Power Stage. I tried to be very nice with the tyres. Let’s see
what we can do on the next one.”
Car 9. LAPPI/FERM
“It was not a good stage”
Car 10. MEEKE/NAGLE
“Problems with the driver on the stage before. I just have to try and protect my third place.”
Car 11. LOEB/ELENA
“This one I was careful. I did not enjoy this one so much.”
Car 31. TIDEMAND/ANDERSSON
“It is a bit more slippery. I love these stages. I just drive and the car feels fantastic.”
