| INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1 | |
|  (17 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel):
            I expected better conditions but it was quite slippery. There were a few surprises. | |
|  (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel):
            I think we have too hard of a tyre for this stage. I drove okay but it is very slippery with the hard compound - it should be better for the next stages. | |
|  (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos):
            My car is working so well! I wasn't happy with everything, I lost a little bit of time in some of the places because the grip is so bad but we just need to keep going like this. | |
|  (3 - Suninen Teemu / Lehtinen Jarmo):
            The grip level is really high but the stage is damp so maybe it is not getting better. | |
|  (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne):
            The feeling was quite horrible. The car is fine but it is so slippery - sometimes you have grip and sometimes there is nothing. We had a lot of small moments and small surprises so it was very difficult for me. | |
|  (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka):
            I didn't feel that I had much grip but I can also tell you that my driving wasn't very good. I went wide on one corner and I was too hesitant but I hope it will get better. | |
|  (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott):
            I went a little bit wide in a couple of places just struggling with overall grip. It will be okay. | |
|  (5 - Meeke Kris / Marshall Sebastian):
            I caught a bump and I wasn't expecting it to kick so much! I probably didn't exploit the grip enough but in the first stage you don't want to do anything silly. | |
|  (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
            It was okay but I had a lot of mud on the windscreen so had bad visibility for a lot of the stage. The car is a little bit soft but we can not help that. | |
|  (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien):
            It's not so often we are faster than Ott so I will take it! It's okay, the grip is not so bad. We had an ambitious tyre choice but Ott and Thierry have the same, so let's see what is happening. | |
|  (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin):
            It's loose in places and damp in places with a lot of changes. The feeling is quite good, I have a good balance. There is always a bit of cleaning being first on the road but that's just how it is, we have to do it. | |
