INFORMATION ABOUT SS 3
retired (64 - Quinn Nathan / Calder David): retired after SS 3
flash info (33 - Ptaszek Hubert / Szczepaniak Maciej): The times are not so bad. I'm happy with that. Not bad for my first time here.
flash info (42 - Fuchs Nicolás / Mussano Fernando): Very slippery and I don't have the right tyres I think. If you are out of the lines it's very tough.
flash info (31 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I struggled a bit with the rhythm early on but I can back off if I need to. Near the end it was better. I hoped the road would be cleaner but the guys ahead are not using the same lines.
flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): My tyres are destroyed. I struggle with the rear - I have no grip at all. I'm on the limit.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I managed some repairs but the faster I go the more I risk losing the whole left-rear wheel. I could go faster but I have to drive smoothly.
(2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): problems with suspension
flash info (6 - Camilli Eric / Veillas Benjamin): That's good news that we are third fastest. We changed something on the car and it's better.
flash info (12 - Tänak Ott / Mõlder Raigo): It's difficult to understand what's happening - it's not working at all. Very strange. I tried a lot of things but it feels horrible. There's no balance.
flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): So slippery and very difficult to have good rhythm. I feel I'm fighting all the time to keep the line. I struggled in the second half because my tyres are overheating - I was a bit too keen early on.
flash info (20 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): There is a line, but it's not super clean. On the soft tyres there's not so much grip. Hard tyres would have been better, I think.
flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): When it got tight and twisty near the end we struggled for grip and turn-in with the hard tyres at the front. It wasn't too bad. I don't think there's an optimum tyre choice here. The hard feel a bit too hard, the softs a bit too soft.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): We try to cut where we can. There's so much cleaning it's amazing. It will be difficult to fight with the guys behind.
flash info (3 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I have to drive sideways everywhere to get the grip. There is a small advantage in following Ogier's lines.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I take all the risks I can - I try. I have nothing to lose.
