Car 2. EVANS/BARRITT
“Very rough. I had a clean enough run. There were places you could take more risks. It
was about finding a balance.”
Car 3. SUNINEN/MARKKULA
“I try. I drive flat out. I miss the stage win.”
Car 4. MIKKELSEN/JAEGER-SYNNEVAAG
Appears to have power steering issues and dropped over one minute to Neuville.
Car 5. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“Very rough. I have to say many surprises in the stage. I tried my best. I need to think
about what happened in the stage before. I try and save the car. It is not easy.”
Car 6. PADDON/MARSHALL
“We are trying to play the long game with tyres. There is no right tyre choice. We have
three softs on board. At the service park it seemed like a good choice!”
Car 9. LAPPI/FERM
“The car is better. The rear damper is fully broken. It is not so nice to drive. On the fast, it
is not nice. The next stage is a bit slower and we can manage.”
Car 10. MEEKE/NAGLE
A puncture on the rear left. “About 3km into the stage. The rubber delaminated on the fast
straight near the finish. So bloody rough, my god.”
Car 12. ØSTBERG/ERIKSEN
Bonnet open at stage finish and signs of smoke. “There is burning somewhere. I could
smell it in the stage. I don’t know.”
Car 16. SORDO/DEL BARRIO
“I drive there very slow. Three tyres are okay but one, the rim is broken, and I lost the air. I
need to go slow. I made a mistake taking the soft tyres. We need to finish the loop.”
