These two first stages of the day shouldn't have been driven twice, they were so soft and sandy. We have so many good roads in Finland, we don't need to use bad roads even once, not to mention twice

There was a chicane, I didn't realize it was so slippery, the braking was too late and it was completely muddy, we went past the chicane at 100 km/h into the forest. We just turned round but also we got a puncture so we lost quite a bit

SS3
We go normally, this stage was very slippery, I didn't expect it to be so slippery from the recce, in that sense we came cautiously.
It's gone bad, we've had a lot of trouble. First we lost a brake pipe on the first stage and then there's been misfire, we had to drive SS2 without brakes. Hopefully the troubles are now over.
I've been messing up, it's been slippery and I haven't found the driving feeling. I knocked on a tree on this stage. We've lost a bit to the other guys on every stage. We have to try to drive and improve, it cannot get any worse from here.
I mess up 3-4 times on every stage, I put in wrong gears, I haven't gotten used to the six-speed gearbox yet.
SS2
Throttle stuck on full
SS1
Hit a pole
We hit that tree and bent the whole rear of the car, it goes like a hound but so far it hasn't been a bigger harm
