INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1
flash info (6 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): A clean drive, no mistakes. I'm happy with that. I could have pushed more but for a first stage that was a clean run.
flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Marshall Sebastian): It felt quite strange near the start, like I had a rear puncture, but it didn't get any worse so maybe the rear is just moving around. We'll have a look before the next one.
flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): Okay, but it took me too long to get started in here. The stage time is in the ball park, we'll keep the push on.
flash info (9 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I'm quite surprised by Seb's time from first on the road. I expected the road to clean. I'm happy with my run.
flash info (3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Not so bad, but the grip seemed very, very low.
flash info (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I think it happened at the first corner - under heavy braking we hit one of the rubber things that protect the road. Otherwise I didn't drive well, I have a problem with the intercom - a broken cable I think. I didn't hear all the notes, very distracting.
flash info (2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): They are doing a good job I guess - nothing else. Not such a good feeling with the car here.
flash info (5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): It was okay, I was not pushing very hard. The grip was higher than I expected on these soft tyres, there was some dust hanging around, I didn't go really really fast. I think the early split is a mistake - I kept the same rhythm throughout.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It's rough in places, a bad watersplash and compression but we didn't touch anything. As I expected it was slippery, we have to try and push our best.
