INFORMATION ABOUT SS 9
(34 - Zaldivar Fabrizio / Der Ohannesian Marcelo): was out of road
flash info (28 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It was a bit disturbing, but I don't know the stage. I was too careful in a few places and I think we lost a bit.
flash info (20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's just crazy fast in there, you have time for a coffee on the long straights! It's nice to start the day nice and smoothly.
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Fulton James): The tea party's alive! Fair play to the Hyundai engine boys, they've done a cracking job. That was very much a 'power' stage. We're in a safe rhythm.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): It's difficult. I don't have this kind of feeling to attack, but I am trying to manage. I guess we need to be connected more.
flash info (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Too safe. I never touched the banks, just too slow. We made a small change overnight, but nothing big.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Not a great start, but after that it wasn't too bad. I struggled for confidence early on.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was not so good. You need a lot of top speed on this stage - it's fifth gear all the time. I changed something on the set-up of the suspension for today and I need to get used to it a bit more. Not the perfect stage, but not too bad.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It feels better, definitely, but I'm still not trusting the brakes. I'm always braking too early and I can't find a good balance. The road is going to be quicker and quicker, I'm not sure this will be enough.
flash info (7 - Loubet Pierre-Louis / Gilsoul Nicolas): I wasn't very in at the beginning of the stage. I struggled a bit with the grip because it's very different to yesterday. Not very good driving on my side.
flash info (37 - Bertelli Lorenzo / Scattolin Simone): This was nice and enjoyable. A proper wake-up.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): We are here to drive and get more experience. It's very, very cold outside - before the stage I was almost freezing!
