| INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1 | |
             
            (95 - Peláez Jose Luis / Del Barrio Rodolfo):
            retired before start | |
             
            (54 - Barbosa Miguel / Carvalho Jorge):
            retired in SS 1 | |
             
            (6 - Sordo Dani / Del Barrio Carlos):
            It was not so bad. There was some difficult parts but I enjoyed the car. I'm happy. | |
             
            (3 - Suninen Teemu / Salminen Marko):
            It was ok start but there is a lot of dust. I think we need an air filter for the cockpit - it's sometimes difficult to breathe. | |
             
            (10 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka):
            The road is cleaning so this is helping for sure. Dust is quite bad but it is what it is - it should get better now. | |
             
            (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne):
            I don't see a clear line to be honest - it's not easy. | |
             
            (19 - Loeb Sébastien / Elena Daniel):
            A lot of dust at the start of the stage which made it very tricky. I tried to find a rhythm but it was very slippery. Difficult. | |
             
            (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott):
            It's ok - I don't feel it was perfect to be honest. | |
             
            (11 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
            I was too careful in the first part of the stage. In the end it was getting better so I could go faster. Very tricky with visibility. | |
             
            (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin):
            I tried my best. Friday is so crucial. It will be difficult today - we had dust from Ogier. Cleaning is massive today. | |
             
            (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien):
            Like expected - very slippery. It will be a tough weekend. | |
| In an attempt to reduce the amount of dust faced by our crews, there will be four-minute intervals between WRC cars. Two-minutes between the rest of the field. | |
| Blue skies surround our Matosinhos base with a gentle breeze. Temperatures are set to reach in excess of 27°C which will be a challenge for both the crews and their cars. | |
