INFORMATION ABOUT SS 9 | |
(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I was too careful but it's a tricky stage - the average speed must be high. Many corners are flat but I was lifting. It's a new stage and I can afford to take it easy here. | |
(10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): A lot of time on the rev limiter but a bit too careful. I didn't have the attack mode. | |
(2 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): I didn't feel so confident...so only clean run. | |
(7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): I'm not happy with that time but I drove at my rhythm ... what can I do? Maybe I just wasn't quick enough... you can lose a lot with just a few hesitations. | |
(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): No problems. You have to be completely committed in here, it's super fast! The stage is getting faster and faster with each car. We enjoy our road position better than yesterday. | |
(4 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): The power steering failed right at the start. Impossible to drive. | |
(6 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): I didn't do it very well to be honest. I found it difficult to keep the speed in the corners. Very fast stage. | |
(8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): If you have the confidence I'm sure it's amazing but I backed off a little towards the end. I don't want to make any silly mistakes today. | |
(3 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): It is a hell... The grip seems quite good but there's loose snow on top and that make the grip unpredictable at high speed when you want to turn in. | |
(15 - Lefebvre Stéphane / Moreau Gabin): My pace notes were not so good ... I was braking too much. | |
(16 - Gorban Valeriy / Larens Sergei): Very fast stage, very slippery on the loose snow. | |
The tyre choice acording Michelin: All WRC (Michelins) have the same 'X Ice North 3' studded tyres. Ogier, Tanak, Breen, Meeke, Sordo, Neuville, Paddon and Østberg have one spare. Hänninen, Latvala and Lefebvre have two. |
