It was good. I think we could gain some more time, but I wanted to save tyres for next stages. | ||||||

There were quite big ruts, I didn't like that. But the time is OK, I'm happy with the driving. | ||||||

My second run was much better than first one, but we have to wait. Tarmac is better for me than gravel. | ||||||

Really good stage, I pushed 110%. The battle is quite crazy, everybody is pushing. It will be a hard day. | ||||||

It was a good stage, we switched the tyres between the front and rear and it worked well. | ||||||

It's absolutely crazy, five minutes before start we found we had a slow puncture. We changed it but there was different compound, so we did few big slides. I didn't focus on the championship and just drove and enjoyed it, hopefully we made it. I think I did the best drive of my life. Thanks to Opel and ADAC for the opportunity. |
