| I don't think on this stage there was a benefit to starting later, maybe best to be first on the road, maybe later it will help, let's see. / Nemyslím, že na téhle rychlostce byla nějaká výhoda v pozdější startovní pozici, možná bylo nejlepší jet první, možná později to pomůže, uvidíme... | ||||||

| When it's fast and flowing it's great to drive, on the technical ones where it is tight and twisty it I am not doing so well. Still many stages to go!! / Na rychlých a plynulých zkouškách je to úžasná jízda, na technických sekcích, kde je to pevné a klikaté je to horší. Ještě je před námi spousta zkoušek!! | ||||||

| Everything OK, Miikka felt ok with the speed so it was OK Interesting to see now how Andreas responds. A good run, it was not easy, but good. Difficult to do maximum attack as the difference between good grip and bad grip is so huge that if you go if you go off line you cannot get it back - absolute maximum is not really possible | ||||||
