"It's really difficult. The ruts are so deep and in the corners you can't even turn. I was very, very untidy." | ||||||

"A difficult one on the soft tyres. They were moving around right from the start - that's just something I have to get used to. A few wide moments but generally happy." | ||||||

"The drive wasn't too bad but the car is too soft - we thought the road would be more slippery. We didn't lose too much. The gap to Neuville increased - that's good. We'll make some set-up changes before the next stage." | ||||||
