Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
“The only target we have for the weekend is the Power Stage. There are already a lot of people. It is a magic place to drive a rally.”
Car 2. EVANS/BARRITT
“Let’s see how the feeling is by the Power Stage. We are not taking unnecessary risks at the moment.”
Car 3. SUNINEN/MARKKULA
“I really want to be on the podium. We are pushing quite a lot.”
Car 4. MIKKELSEN/JAEGER-SYNNEVAAG
“We will try and go for some points this afternoon. We are saving the good mapping for that.”
Car 5. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“For safety we carry two tyres. We have a 40-second gap. It is fine. The car was moving a lot and it will be difficult for the Power Stage. But we will try and finish the job.”
Car 7. LATVALA/ANTTILA
“I was focusing on the notes and the rocks and trying to be a bit careful for the tyres for the Power Stage.”
Car 9. LAPPI/FERM
“It’s a big battle but the gap is too big. I cannot go faster. Teemu is doing a really good job.”
Car 11. BREEN/MARTIN
“Not great to be honest, It’s frustrating to be first on the road for two days. It’s different when you are leading the championship.”
Car 12. ØSTBERG/ERIKSEN
“I lack traction. It is the way it is. The balance of the car is nice. The car is too stiff for the first pass.”
Car 16. SORDO/DEL BARRIO
“With the penalties it’s not so good. The stage before the car was sliding at the rear. I think we paid for the soft tyres in that one.”
