INFORMATION ABOUT SS 5
retired (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): retired after SS 5
flash info (42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): You know yourself what happened. I know I shouldn't be doing all these mistakes, but it's really tough.
flash info (2 - Solberg Oliver / Edmondson Elliott): It's still not easy to drive, but I found a clean line. We had a lot of rain at the end now and it was very slippery and easy to do a mistake.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Veillas Benjamin): That's good! We said the plan was to push, but it's only the first one. It was drier than expected but the tyre wear should be alright.
flash info (44 - Greensmith Gus / Andersson Jonas): It's a left that opens and then the right after that comes very quickly. I think that's where Colin crashed a while back. For me, it was okay, but the tyres were shot at the end. The screen misted up and I couldn't see anything for the last 3km.
(42 - Breen Craig / Nagle Paul): accident in SS 5
flash info (18 - Katsuta Takamoto / Johnston Aaron): It's more changeable conditions. In the beginning it's okay, but at the end you still have mud and quite slippery sections.
flash info (33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): It's so, so difficult [to look after the tyres]. I don't know - let's see!
flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Everybody is managing their tyres in there. I tried to do a good job and hopefully I didn't go too hard on the tyres. It would be good to get some rain for the next stages because, if not, we could be struggling - it's quite abrasive in there.
flash info (8 - Tänak Ott / Järveoja Martin): We are cleaning a line massively and it would be a miracle if we could beat the R5s on this one! It was hard on the tyres so we were really trying to manage through this one.
flash info (69 - Rovanperä Kalle / Halttunen Jonne): It was difficult still. The line is not so wide after the small cars, so I need to open the line a bit and it's not easy. It was a bit more dry than I expected, so in the middle of the stage it was really slippery when it got drier.
