flash info (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): The end was mega tricky, big challenge but the wide road was quite fun. I enjoyed it.
flash info (24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni): It's hard to find a good rhythm here because there is some surface changing and the road is changing quite much, the first part is like a big stage and the second part is quite narrow. We are looking forward to the Myhnipää stage.
flash info (23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo): We are having pop-off problems all the time and it has been very difficult to manage that because you have no power on the straights.
flash info (22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin): I cannot say the road is damaged but I do not know what to expect, in the stage there is mud everywhere. I have the setup for better grip, I hope next stage there is something better. Next time, we need a better setup because the next stage, we drove through it, heavy rain, then dry, heavy rain, then dry. This is Finland.
flash info (20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian): It's not easy. So, so difficult with the grip to understand why you slide and why sometimes you have a good grip. Not easy for the driver and for the car.
flash info (21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): A bit of luck is nice sometimes! It is very slippery still, lots of water and very tricky. It's fun when there are 20 cars behind that I am fighting with, it is fun to predict who is faster. At least now I have a bit of a margin which is nice.
flash info (5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni): Time is still acceptable, the conditions are still tricky, still very deep cuts which are wet, so easy to catch the front in there. Trying to be careful in those places I'm not so confident, but it is coming together now.
flash info (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): Really difficult in this one, so much mud in the cuts. I had one or two very big slides where I was full steering locked. At least we identified the issue.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): Really difficult, without the rain it is getting a bit easier in places but it is a big mess for us also. I am not taking any risks, in this condition you can not make any mistakes also, so I just tried to keep a good pace. We have more pace if we need to, but we don't need to.
flash info (16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre): It wasn't my first pass in that stage, this morning was not useless for us. There was plenty of places where I could improve, still plenty of mistakes but at least we are more competitive than this morning.
flash info (17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent): It's tricky conditions still, many places where you are very low on grip. It's a decent rhythm for us but I don't seem to push harder at the moment.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's difficult to get into gear, the same places have all the muddy cuts. It's just thick mud and you feel like a passenger. Difficult to commit to a big push, I don't know if anyone has. It's tricky in there.
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I had a clean run but not good conditions for us to be honest. It is quite wet in there, bit of water, muddy places. We are making the line, huge cuts, muddy water and I got mudded out. Not what I need. At the moment, we are not thinking about the podium, we are thinking about surviving and keeping an eye on Elfyn Evans.
