"I had no good feeling in the stage after what I saw with Meeke. I took it quite steady. It's my first time starting a rally leading the championship. I thought we did quite well." | ||||||

"I went off 1km from the start. The road was dry then suddenly wet section under braking and I went into the vines and lost the front (splitter) lip. Now I have no down force at all. It makes it very tricky." | ||||||

"I was full softs. I don't know what the best option would be. Many times I was sideways a lot and I had a spin near the end. I tried my best but it's not very nice in these conditions." | ||||||

"I was on the maximum I have to say. So much wheelspin and locking under braking, many times we nearly went off. I'm missing a lot of traction." | ||||||

He's been off and there is a big branch stuck in the rear spoiler. "It happened on a very dirty corner, it was worse than aquaplaning. Nothing I could do. Happy to be here - still a long way to go." | ||||||

the rear-left wheel has is hanging off | ||||||
"I have no idea." The wheel and tyre are attached, but at a crazy angle. There is no sign of damage to the wheel. | ||||||
Neuville and co-driver Nicholas Gilsoul are inspecting the damage. It seems that the whole wheel hub has detached from the suspension arm. Nicholas suggests that they will need a miracle. | ||||||
"It was just a slow junction, a left turn with a cut, and we don't understand what happened. We just felt a small touch on the rear axle. We probably touched something, we don't understand right now. It looks like something broke on the suspension. I don't know. We need to analyse first and then we will know more." | ||||||
