"We expected it to be dry! The stage was okay. In some parts the grip was changing a lot and I had made some changes thinking about dry conditions, but the feeling was not so bad. It's not a disaster." | ||||||

"The rally so far was not what we expected, but I am trying to push today with this road position. There is a lot of loose and even on the uphill I could not pull fifth gear because we don't have the traction. For sure the guys behind will make a much better time than me." | ||||||

"The first 5km was very difficult. I almost crashed two or three times because on the crest the car sent me to the barriers. I had some scary moments and maybe I lost a little bit of confidence, but it's very slippery with no grip and a lot of fog on the top." | ||||||

"After we left the service park I felt something strange on the rear. I don't know if I have a broken anti-roll bar or if it's a problem with the dampers. Sometimes gravel goes inside the damper and the car is completely undriveable." | ||||||

"It was a very tough rally for us with a lot of problems and difficult conditions. We had a good morning and the car was working, but unfortunately after service we have some problem on the rear and the car was impossible to drive." |
