| INFORMATION ABOUT SS 8 | |
| (54 - Fontana Matteo / Arnaboldi Alessandro): spun | |
| (42 - Rumeau Sarah / Amblard Julie): spun | |
(24 - Daprà Roberto / Guglielmetti Luca):
Better than four super soft for us I think, there was less ice than expected. We took a lot of time on this stage, but we need to stay on the road, to pay attention and continue. It is easy to make a mistake and we are happy. | |
|
(20 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott):
I don't know! It felt good, the car was working well, I did a few adjustments and it felt better. It's down to the gravel crew, we had a lot of ice in the stage and they did a good job on the notes. You can be a bit more confident with them. | |
|
(31 - Camilli Eric / De La Haye Thibault):
The car felt a lot better, we are too soft on tyres! I still have one snow in the back. But that's life, I am happy to really enjoy. | |
|
(34 - Rossel Léo / Mercoiret Guillaume):
This is my first experience in dry tyres on the snow. It is very tricky but I am happy. | |
|
(23 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas):
I haven't driven on Monte ice since 2022, no testing either. I thought I was very slow but I wasn't so bad. | |
|
(22 - Rossel Yohan / Dunand Arnaud):
For sure it is never easy when you don't have a succinct strategy. For me it is clear, I need to do no mistake and keep focused on my race. The next stage, I think it will be very challenging for sure, let's see if the road has improved but I think our tyre choice is good. | |
|
(21 - Gryazin Nikolay / Aleksandrov Konstantin):
We went for studded tyres. Let's see on the next stage, with the ice on the road, this is how it is. | |
|
(55 - McErlean Joshua / Treacy Eoin):
First time for everythng I suppose! Nice to get through, big challenge. I messed some things up at the start but it is good learning. Not everyday we can come to Monte Carlo and do it, so good fun. The Anti-Lag system at the start, I was just playing about with it and of course we were on ice. | |
|
(5 - Pajari Sami / Salminen Marko):
Well I think it is all about taking all the experience we can. Again, the first time to be on such a condition with these tyres. A lot to learn, a lot to do better, but it always about experience. It is interesting, I must say. Quite tricky but you think it is more tricky than it actually is, so it is about finding the balance. | |
|
(13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis):
I was on a straight uphill and suddenly we lost pressure. We didn't hit nything. There is snow everywhere on the edge, so you can't even hit a cut. I didn't take studs so at least I don't have to put the studs on. | |
| (13 - Munster Grégoire / Louka Louis): puncture | |
|
(69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne):
I think it was pretty okay, of course I don't know where the difference came but it is first pass conditions. The road was getting dirtier and muddier for us, lot more on the downhill here, so for sure it makes a difference. | |
|
(18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron):
It's okay actually, not as bad as expected. Careful on the ice because I had a bad memory from last year. It is okay. | |
|
(16 - Fourmaux Adrien / Coria Alexandre):
It was a compromise, I didn;t want to take the studs for two or three corners, I just wanted to be cautious. In a downhill you cannot stop, but I stopped the car. We are here and we have a good time. | |
|
(17 - Ogier Sébastien / Landais Vincent):
I tried my best like always, my whole family, so many friends in this stage and I never won it! I really need to try this time, I'm not sure if it will be enough with the guys behind but I've tried my best. | |
|
(8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin):
It was actually much, much better than anticipated. Happy to be through. Can be better. | |
|
(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott):
I was proper steady, it just started to go and I couldn't recover. I was on the ice, we just went a margin too far, we were almost there. We had the information, it was just Bambi on ice. | |
|
(1 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn):
It is really tricky. On the ice, I was pushing the clutch and pushing the handbrake, all four wheels were locking. It is not easy to keep it on the road. We were talking about the car. There is a change of balance, once the tyres get very hot I get massive understeer. It's soemthing we couldn't test yet so we need to find out. | |
| (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): spun | |
| Stage is mostly dry with some damp and icy parts. | |
