INFORMATION ABOUT SS 9
flash info (34 - Greensmith Gus / Parry Craig): The same problem like every time with me - my pace notes - the corner tightened and we went wide and hit something. Just like it did on the Autoglym Rally.
flash info (36 - Gilbert Quentin / Jamoul Renaud): I'm enjoying a lot. We are enjoying the battle for the podium. I keep trying.
flash info (8 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): We cannot really find a proper set-up. We are trying.
flash info (15 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Pretty happy. No big issues, just braking too early in a few junctions. But still the time is okay.
flash info (14 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): Not so good in here. I couldn't find a good rhythm, and too much over steer. Just not good enough.
flash info (12 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Not much, but it's something. As a first pass it was a pretty good run - lots of places to improve tough. My driving so far is the best I have ever done.
flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I can't trust the grip and when you start to hesitate it quickly unravels. What can I do? I don't know. What I can't do is put it in the trees.
flash info (11 - Hänninen Juho / Lindström Kaj): I made a mistake near the start. Late on the brakes and missed a junction.
flash info (9 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I struggled in here, probably the worst stage of the rally so far. My pace notes were not the best, in this rally you have to be absolutely correct all the time. The next stages are more familiar to me.
flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): I was struggling for the grip in here. Very wet and slippery in some places. Drier in others. Hard to get the confidence.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): A lot of grip here, a nice stage. You can go very fast here.
flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Not taking any risks, but it's not too easy to take it steady. There's no longer the motivation of pushing for a win but I'm still trying to do my job.
flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Slippery now, but not too dramatic. I have to be very focused all the time. I know I need to fight with Esapekka, but I'm in a difficult [road] position here. I know the grip will improve for him.
flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It's okay. I try to drive fast but of course now I'm not taking the big risks. I think I'm driving well, but the times are a bit disappointing. I can't go much faster but we're not able to match the others.
