"Quite a same time! I didn't understand on the last one why we were so slow so we need to figure that out. I don't know why my car is wetter and muddier than Neuville's, that's a good question!" | ||||||

"No mistakes but it is not possible to push. It is slippery. I saw the line of Neuville, it looked like he hit a bank but no damage to his car it seems." | ||||||

"So far it is a good loop, just had a issue with the shifting on this stage. Mid-shift I lost a bit of time. Don't know what is causing it." | ||||||

"It's been a good afternoon, it wasn't easy with the conditions on the first stage with the fog and the slippiness. I was perhaps more in attack mode compared to this afternoon." | ||||||

Good run, good stage and a really nice condition to drive. It should be much more rough this afternoon. I don't know if I'll take six tyres tomorrow. | ||||||

It's a big push for me because I was so angry with the last stage on the morning and I stalled at the start of SS13 so a big push now. | ||||||

It is tight. It was fun this afternoon. The second stage I didn't find a good rhythm. On this one I had to push. | ||||||

"It is tight! We will have to push to the end. This stage is all about fighting with the car, and for sure you can be a lot more aggressive. I will have to push on the next one." | ||||||

"I tried everything I could today. I was always losing a few tenths here and there. The last stage was very rough and I made two mistakes which cost me a few tenths. It is still good points for the championship. We lost the battle but we haven't lost the war. There are still six rounds to go, it isn't time to panic. Thierry was lucky with the rain but there will be another rally where he loses time as the road opener." |
