The stages are maybe a little bit better known now with these next three stages by the other drivers so I'll keep on trying. Of course [I'd like to beat them] | ||||||

For me it's more important I can see some lines on the road because tomorrow it's where all the stages are that everybody knows very well and they are very wide and the line is absolutely crucial so it's better for me that I can see the lines a little bit than being the one making the lines and maybe making some mistakes. | ||||||

Yeah no problem [being third on the road], I think it's 50/50 between it being damp and it cleaning so I don't think it makea any difference, for me it's better following some Finnish lines | ||||||

It went OK, no problems. I think it's maybe cleaning a little bit but I pushed quite hard in there because I know it's only been used last year, I think, for the first time so it's a good chance for me to catch some time back. | ||||||

It was a couple of seconds from Carlos and Juha as well but still trying I think I lost a little bit I wasn't really hard enough | ||||||

I'm trying very hard for sure, I don't want to come in third place. I think Juha can drive quite well in Finland so I think he should be OK. | ||||||
