INFORMATION ABOUT SS 3
retired (50 - von Thurn und Taxis Albert / Ettel Bernhard): accident in SS 3
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): This morning I was pushing quite hard and sometimes hitting the banks. It's difficult, far back the ice is already in some lines and it's changing a lot.
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): A lot of mistakes. I was in several snow banks and we should have been left stuck in them. I was expecting the grip to be much higher - I tried to do the best I could but it's not good enough.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was not good. We changed the setup from yesterday and it didn't really get any better. I am struggling with the balance, I have a lot of understeer and I can not be on the pace I want.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was an okay stage, but I can't understand. We made some changes to the intercom system and it doesn't work - I misheard some words and I am hesitating too much.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): I struggled a bit in places but I can't really put my finger on why. We were hoping for a little bit more.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): We are having good rhythm in slow places, but we can't drive fast on the straights. We are giving everything and it's a good fight with Taka.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): I lost quite a lot. I think I was too careful on the icy sections so that's one reason. It's fine.
flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Marshall Sebastian): It's amazing. It felt quite good, but I couldn't find the rhythm at the beginning, it was so difficult and narrow. Once I found the rhythm it was good.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I tried to drive as fast as I can. I'm not sure, it was not so easy, but let's see how the times are developing. I can not say - for sure, it's very slippery out there.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Edmondson Elliott): I felt like I was losing a lot of traction on the exit of corners so maybe we will make some tweaks - for me, it felt like a smooth stage.
flash info (12 - Tuohino Janne / Hämäläinen Reeta): The weather is beautiful. The beginning was a little bit difficult to try and find the confidence, but by the end it was better.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was nice. I tried to do my best - it was slippery in some parts, but I was trying to stay on the line and we just have to take experience and try to go fast.
retired (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): accident in SS 3
