| INFORMATION ABOUT SS 4 | |
(50 - Al-Wahaibi Hamed / Minor Ilka):
accident in SS 4 | |
|
(51 - Lafay Pierre / Quartini Charlyne):
accident in SS 4 | |
(25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James):
We just went off in a very fast left corner, we were very lucky to be back on the road again. | |
| (25 - Linnamäe Georg / Morgan James): was out of road | |
|
(24 - Joona Lauri / Hussi Janni):
It was really slippery at the first part of the stage, last part was quite okay. We tried to push. We'll try the jump again on Ruhimäki. | |
|
(23 - Solans Jan / Sanjuán Rodrigo):
It was very tricky, we had a lot of pop-off openings on the straight. The car is very tricky to control in these fast sections. | |
|
(22 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin):
It's fine, I see Solberg starts with heavy rain, Rossel starts with heavy rain. I tried to slow down on the first part because if it is raining there it will not be good. I tried to control the first part to not be too slow in the rain. I am not competing with Solberg this time, I just tried to enjoy the stage. | |
|
(20 - Rossel Yohan / Barral Florian):
It's crazy, sometimes you have big rain, sometimes you have nothing. I am always aqua planing, it is so difficult to keep the car on the road. You always learn in these conditions but for me it is very, very hard to keep the car on the road. | |
|
(21 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott):
It's full rain since the beginning of the stage. Incredibly slippery, either this will be a big advantage for Jari-Matti and the guys at the back, or more rain is coming. | |
|
(5 - Pajari Sami / Mälkönen Enni):
It's quite tough to jump with no rear wing, it was not easy with heavy rain in the middle of the stage, I was backing off quite a lot. To have the full car would be great, I think we need to get it to the service. | |
|
(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis):
I don't know what to say, it is dry here and then mid stage, I am aqua planing almost every corner. Difficult. | |
|
(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne):
Well, first of all you cannot see and second you can hardly control the car. The wipers are not fast enough to clear the window. There was some slippery places. In the end, it doesn't really change anything; just turn the wipers on and try to finish the road. | |
|
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron):
It's quite impossible because we had rain in the middle of the stage, not sure how it is going after me but it is difficult when the weather changes halfway through the stage. | |
|
(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne):
There was a big shower for us towards the end of the stage. It has been a difficult morning for the car also, we want to make some setup changes, the car is oversteering so much that on the fast road you cannot be fast. It is horrible. | |
|
(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre):
It's a disaster, we had no test before this rally and always from the shakedown it is disaster. I am going to change everything on the back of the car that I can. I am trying my best, I am happy with that stage and it has given me more confidence. | |
|
(17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent):
Nice stage. They are really enjoyable to drive, not competing last year on this really fast stage made it challenging for me, but I tried my best. | |
|
(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott):
Conditions are a lot better than I expected, been on the careful side in a few places. Still not fully happy, but it's okay. It's early days but we want to keep focused. | |
|
(11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn):
Slightly dryer, definitely more constant grip, it is much harder to commit. Definitely fighting the car in some places, it is not where I want us to be. I don't think there is a disadvantage but I would like to have one or two cars in front to help dig the ground, as occasionally I am losing quite a bit of speed. | |
| Stage will be delayed for 24 minutes. | |
