Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
“I was quite happy with my driving and not with the conditions.”
Car 2. EVANS/BARRITT
“Not so good in there. Not happy with that time. The feeling was okay but the car was moving around a lot more.”
Car 3. SUNINEN/MARKKULA
“I felt that the tyres are quite badly overheating and I was sliding too much. It has caused quite a lot of problems.”
Car 4. MIKKELSEN/JAEGER-SYNNEVAAG
“It’s getting better. The car is working nice. I am happy with that.”
Car 5. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“It’s really difficult to get the car turning. I struggled a bit with this. It is difficult to go faster than Ogier. I try!”
Car 6. PADDON/MARSHALL
“Not bad. The stage is becoming very rutted like on a beach in the second part. This afternoon will be more even. The ruts will be more developed. We will have to go Safari spec!”
Car 7. LATVALA/ANTTILA
Broken suspension confirmed as the reason for Latvala’s retirement from Friday’s stages.
Car 9. LAPPI/FERM
“It would be nice to know what to do, I was completely flat out and I have no grip. That’s it. I am on the limit all the time. The time is bad, but we don’t have grip.”
Car 10. MEEKE/NAGLE
“Intercom on the stage before. My rhythm was not so good in here. That was poor.”
Car 11. BREEN/MARTIN
“I think the grip is getting worse and worse. It is so churned up in places like the beach. If you put energy into it, it all falls away. I feel I am in a better rhythm as well.”
Car 12. ØSTBERG/ERIKSEN
“It’s not feeling so great to be honest. I struggle a lot with the confidence. I feel like I have to back off. It does not feel great.”
Car 16. SORDO/DEL BARRIO
“Kris (Meeke) is always pushing hard but I am happy. I pushed like hell and made no mistakes. I am happy.”
