INFORMATION ABOUT SS 5
(73 - Otake Nao / Salminen Marko): was out of road
retired (64 - Borodin Petr / Cheprassov Roman): accident in SS 5
flash info (97 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Hänninen Juho): It was not an easy stage, I have to say. Towards the end the corners were slippy so I had to really feel the grip. When the rain came it made it really quite tricky.
flash info (3 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): There were some surprises, the weather made it quite difficult but I think we lost quite a lot of time now.
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's a big shame for EP but it's tricky in these conditions. When you get a line and there are a few cars cutting and cutting, they bring out the mud and there is no grip at all.
retired (4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): accident in SS 5
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It is what it is. We tried, we had heavy rain at the start and then it was quite okay for a few kilometres, then at the end it was bad again. And the wipers are really horrible.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It was pretty slippery, that's for sure. I wasn't expecting it, it looked like pretty good grip but it was really bad and the rain was really quite heavy at the start.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Proper bad for me. The grip was really low and I was sliding all the time everywhere, I just didn't have a clean run. I tried to be quite okay but there was no grip at all. Definitely a tricky stage to be the first car.
