INFORMATION ABOUT SS 17
(1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Ogier arrived at the end of the opening stage with some damage to the co-driver's door and front aero package. We understand he was involved in a traffic incident on the way to the stage.
flash info (24 - Østberg Mads / Eriksen Torstein): We are trying. I did have some brake issues on this stage - I don't know why - but it was not a comfortable ride.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): The downhill was slippery and it's true that I was not really driving well downhill.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's very difficult to know whether to push more, or try and be tidy on the way down because the grip is so low.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): On the downwhill sections I was understeering quite a lot. The road is quite dirty and I tried to adjust my driving to the conditions. I did the best I could.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): I was a bit too careful in the slippery downhill sections and I didn't set a good pace. It was a really really fast stage, but it's slippery and the goal is to finish the rally now.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): I've got an issue with the brakes, so I need to try and solve it.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Barritt Daniel): For me I was not driving good. Some corners are very slippery and I was not sure about grip levels. I will try to improve the next one.
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): I'd say one of the worst stages I have driven in my life. I just have no confidence at all - really shocking in some places.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Landais Vincent): It was very slippery. Thanks to the team, they did a fantastic job after our mistake yesterday.
