INFORMATION ABOUT SS 1
retired (24 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): technical problem - engine in SS 1
(24 - Huttunen Jari / Lukka Mikko): stopped in stage
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It's not so bad - we will see! I was very careful in some parts with the the tyres. It's better than the ice in Monte!
flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Marshall Sebastian): It's very tricky and my front tyres are finished! Not so good, but very enjoyable anyway. I had to stop and reverse and lost around 10sec, but okay, I am learning!
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): In this big boys game you have to be on it from the first pass but I was way too slow.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Quite nice conditions - I haven't seen better conditions than we are having now.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's hard to say it's perfect, there is still quite a lot of understeer. It's a very demanding stage and the conditions were nice. For sure it's enjoyable, but it's only the first stage and there's a long way to go.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): It was really enjoyable. Some places I had a good rhythm but then in others I wouldn't. I was hoping for a bit better than that, we'll try and do better.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): Grip is getting worse at the end. Some corners I had very good grip - it's very difficult to judge.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): I was stuck in the snow bank for a while. I just came into a junction and I just went wide and hit the rear. The time is not that bad, but we can not have mistakes like that again.
(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): was out of road
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): There is a lot of cleaning and a lot of fresh snow. I was already getting some benefit from the lines. We were looking to find a good rhythm and it didn't work all the time. It won't be enough for the guys behind, that's for sure.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): The grip deteriorated and got more loose towards the end. You feel like in some places you can go faster, but in other places it's naturally more on the limit. It's difficult to find the balance in these conditions.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was quite soft conditions with the snow. Unfortunately I don't think I will have a great time. I am happy with my driving - I drove much better than this morning on the shakedown.
