| INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1 | |
(86 - Membrado Josep Maria / Vilamala Jordi):
retired in SS 1 | |
|
(82 - Crugnola Andrea / Ferrara Michele):
technical problem - electric before SS 1 | |
(49 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott):
The gremlins are back. That stupid pop-off valve is giving us problems again. | |
|
(45 - Kopecký Jan / Dresler Pavel):
One stupid mistake around a hay bale but otherwise a really good time for us. No problems. We try to build our confidence tomorrow. | |
|
(50 - Maurin Julien / Klinger Nicolas):
I want to win again here but the start is not good. Not a good feeling on the first corner with the hard tyre. The real beginning is tomorrow. | |
|
(48 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin):
We have a good car setup. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's stages. | |
|
(40 - Al-Kuwari Abdulaziz / Clarke Marshall):
technical problem - powersteering before SS 1 | |
|
(44 - Tidemand Pontus / Axelsson Emil):
It's difficult to drive in this sort of half-light. | |
|
(31 - Al Rajhi Yazeed / Orr Michael):
health problems before start | |
|
(43 - Ketomaa Jari / Lindström Kaj):
It's great to be back. Not an easy start, I tried my best, but I was maybe a bit too excited near the beginning. A few small mistakes. | |
|
(39 - Protasov Yuriy / Cherepin Pavlo):
A good stage. Not so bad. For us, it is important to finish here. A top three would be good for us. | |
|
(42 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne):
I'm absolutely happy. I tried to save my tyres. Ok, Nasser has a different setup, but for me it's a perfect start. | |
|
(38 - Al-Attiyah Nasser / Baumel Matthieu):
We took the decision to use tarmac dampers, even though we had never tested it, and it worked really well with the gravel tyres! We can change them in 10 minutes tomorrow. | |
|
(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien):
It's good to start this way but I remember in Corsica we started like this and then it didn't go so well! The real start is tomorrow. I'm happy though, it was a clean drive. Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm going to go for it. | |
|
(8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc):
A good drive for me, we have saved some tyres for tomorrow. | |
|
(5 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel):
We had a mistake on one of the donut hay bales. I couldn't get the car shifted into first until half way round. | |
|
(2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka):
I didn't scrub my tyres so much, and I knew the others would do that more, but even so the time is a bit of a disappointment. | |
|
(3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul):
Everybody scrubbed their tyres. I'm happy with my time. Last year Volkswagen eclipsed our times by about 4 s. | |
|
(9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Fløene Ola):
Not a perfect one. I didn't scrub my tyres like I did last year. I braked too late for the first corner and then I made a mistake at a hairpin. So not perfect, but I saved some tyres for tomorrow. | |
|
(4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas):
Neuville has done an amazing time. 2.6 s off that is not perfect but it's not so bad. Tomorrow we will do some proper stages. I'm really looking forward to it. | |
|
(7 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
I had two soft and two hard tyres, split left and right, but I had a problem with the handbrake and locked the wheels a couple of times. I think the guys behind will be quicker. | |
|
(6 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo):
It's my first time here and this is a tricky stage. A few surprises but a clean run. Now I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. | |
|
(20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John):
Big concrete walls take no prisoners. Cold brakes and tyres almost caught us out but overall no problems. | |
|
(14 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej):
We have something wrong. For the last three or four hundred metres we have no power - like no anti-lag. | |
|
(21 - Prokop Martin / Tománek Jan):
I tried to enjoy it, but made two mistakes on the first two corners, I missed the braking points, but the rest was good. | |
|
(15 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Prévot Stéphane):
I really enjoyed that. Last year on the first corner here I made a mistake so this time I took it very cautiously. | |
|
(37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Granai Lorenzo):
I had a problem with the downshifts. I couldn't find first gear at the roundabouts. | |
|
(12 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris):
Difficult but this is all for the spectators. Lots of donuts - it was a lot of fun. | |
| Start of stage will be 4 minutes earlier. | |
