INFORMATION ABOUT SS 7
retired (47 - Hatzitsopanis Panagiotis / Petropoulos Nikolaos): retired after SS 7
flash info (20 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Edmondson Elliott): It was a nice stage. Enjoyable. Very twisty, but grip was really good. That was good fun.
flash info (22 - Bulacia Marco / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): It was a clean run. On the last section I don't know if I am too slow. We will see on the times, but I am happy with the car and we need to continue like this.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Our tyre package was not the right one for this. In the beginning I could use the hards quite okay, but in the middle and last sections where it was really slow, I was struggling with the hards. I tried to give it a big push and the time looks good, so it's nice.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Quite surprised at the time. I don't know - I really struggled and was just driving through but obviously it worked. Not a good improvement from yesterday.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): It was pretty damp in this one. The ideal choice would be full softs [tyres] in there for sure, but we don't have many for the rally, so that's the bigger question.
flash info (6 - Sordo Dani / Carrera Cándido): It's okay. Very difficult at the end of the stage - really slow and it's difficult to keep the rhythm and the car in the line. It's difficult to calculate the speed.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Jamoul Renaud): It was really difficult. The grip was changing all the time and I didn't take the confidence in the stage. I have never spent so much time in first gear in a stage, so it was really, really slow!
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Patterson Chris): It seemed better than yesterday. Still not great - in the twisty sections I'm sometimes struggling with the rhythm.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The confidence was there yesterday after the problem, but this stage is a never-ending stage. Very twisty and very slow towards the end. I had to choose some hard tyres, which I think is not the best for this kind of stage.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Haut-Labourdette Florian): It was quite okay in some parts, but the middle of the stage is like ice. It's very easy to do a mistake.
It's a pleasant, although slightly cloudy start to the day here in Lamia with temperatures of around 17°C. Reports from SS7 say conditions are dry, whilst SS8 is looking quite muddy.
