Drivers' quotes after SS6

Friday, June 12

Car #1 - S. Ogier / J. Ingrassia: Just a short stage, but in the middle it was quite rough. We'll try to have a clean drive this afternoon - that's the plan.

Car #4 - M. Ostberg / J. Andersson: A difficult morning, now everything is perfect - let's enjoy it. Setup is almost the same, some changes to the rear.

Car #2 - JM. Latvala / M. Anttila: I tried to improve on this short stage. The car is a little stiffer this afternoon. Hayen Paddon is driving very well, I must say, but I'm not here for a holiday so of course I'm going after him.

Car #5 - E. Evans / D. Barritt: That's a little stage to be honest... quite rough. The car is working again though so I will try to join the afternoon.

Car #8 - D. Sordo / M. Marti: It wasn't so bad. A rocky stage though, hard on the car. We changed something on suspension but nothing so important.

Car #7 - T. Neuville / N. Gilsoul: A good feeling but quite a rough stage. The steering wheel spun out of my hands at one point. I just managed to get through.

Car #21 - M. Prokop / J. Tomanek: The feeling in the car is perfect but there are some big rocks around and you can't avoid them.

Car #6 - O. Tanak / R. Molder: In the last hairpin we locked up all the wheels (still handbrake issue).

Car #20 - H. Paddon / J. Kennard: I'm just doing the same job. We've made a good tyre compound choice I think, six hards, okay, not the best for this stage, but the best for the loop I reckon. Hope that we made the right choice

Car #12 - K. Al Qassimi / C. Patterson: It is not easy for sure. I think it will be a difficult afternoon.

Car #37 - L. Bertelli / L. Granai: We took it easy this stage. Crazy to go too hard. Now the car is ok and we look forward to next stage

Car #42 - N. Al-Attiyah / M. Baumel: It's not easy, we try to push back up but the boys are going really fast. I've changed the set-up a little and let's hope it's okay.

Car #41 - N. Fuchs / F. Mussano: We changed a lot in the setup of the car. These stage are very difficult, many rocks. I am just trying to make it through.

Car #38 - Y. Protasov / P. Cherepin: It is good. After the service now it is ok.

Car #40 - V. Gorban / V. Korsia: Not everything was fine, but it is ok. We damaged a little bit the front of the car, I do not know if we will have some problems with the dumpers.

Car #43 - E. Lappi / J.Ferm: It is extremely rough, these rocks are huge. I really took it carefully. No serious problems.

Car #31 - Y.Al Rajhi / M. Orr: Easy to make mistakes, not the stage to go for an attack. We are going to try to push this afternoon.

Car #79 - G. Linari / N. Arena: Now it is very very rough, there are many rocks now up, very difficult for suspension. Now car is ok though.

Car #48 - P. Andreucci / A. Andreussi: I made a mistake in a junction. The rear of the car opened but we did not realize that.
