"I lost the rear in the braking. It was safer to let it spin. You never know in these conditions - there were lines everywhere. I tried to stay in the cleanest one possible and be smart." | ||||||

"Just before the start the intercom packed up and I reckon I only heard 40 per cent of the pace notes. Okay, it's a stage I know, and I've been doing my homework, but I didn't get much information about the conditions. I just had to drive as I saw it." | ||||||

"It was okay, but there's a lot of dirt on the road already after just two cars. It would have been easy to trip up. A good stage but slippery in places." | ||||||
