Informazione della PS 4
retired (41 - Arai Toshihiro / Inoue Sota): retired after SS 4
retired (56 - Takata Koji / Yamaguchi Hiroki): accident in SS 4
flash info (22 - Kajetanowicz Kajetan / Szczepaniak Maciej): You can see the problem is with exhaust, it was squashed. We haven't got power. Now we tried to fix it, we did something but it is not perfect. Anyway, it is not bad, we are here. We enjoy stages, this one was new. We are on four soft tyres so we are sliding everywhere. Many things to fix.
flash info (21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I cannot say it is tricky, compared to last year it is much easier. Some places where the guys are touching the side of the road is quite dirty. Was nice driving in a slow part, but we had to be a bit cautious.
flash info (20 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): It has been better, I must say! There was so much going on previous stage. I forget to mention but there were deers on the road, so I was forced to brake on the long straight. It was like virtual chicane. But it is quite okay for the moment. I need to keep focused and keep finding the way I feel. It is always like this. I don't know how it is in the top category but I guess there is a good fight still.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Eriksen Torstein): I'm not so confident in these conditions, it is also tricky with the road positions because you never really know. We need to push more, but we'll see. I saw before the stage Thierry has some issues.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): There was a slippery braking which I didn't have in my pace notes, so I need to spin not to go straight into the wall. Lost a bit of time, struggling with the tyre choice and the front of the car. We need to do everything about what we do, because it is not so clean.
(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): was out of road
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): Let's see how it is going for everybody. For sure we never give up but the situation is not so good at the moment. It is quite different at the moment, not pushing so much and losing the feeling in the car, so it is quite different and we just want to get the car back.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): I'm just struggling with the car, in the slow corners the car does not rotate and in the fast the car is moving a lot, so it is not precise. I just keep the car on the road. We need to discuss with the team, we can do a few things.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): I have no idea what happened in front but for me it is unfortunately not a question of championship. It was a close to disaster start but what else can we do fighting, there was a lot of pressure coming into this one.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): Not good news about Neuville.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): Tricky, parts of the stage werre good but there were parts of it that were so difficult to read because of grip.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I don't know. No power.
(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): technical problem
Start of stage will be delayed for 8 minutes.
