Drivers' quotes after SS10

Friday, June 12

Car #1 - S. Ogier / J. Ingrassia: It has been fantastic. I am happy with today, and with the car. We had good information last night about the weather. This stage was again a tricky one. Tomorrow is going to be quite long. It will not be easy to fight against Hayden as he is driving very well. We will see, even with two or three cars in front to do some road cleaning it is not going to be easy.

Car #4 - M. Ostberg / J. Andersson: Yeah absolutely nothing left on the tyres. I could really feel it. We had a tough afternoon with the tyres but we look forward to tomorrow. I love the stages for tomorrow.

Car #2 - JM. Latvala / M. Anttila: A small mistake cost me a lot. It is disappointing. All the other stages were fine. A little bit unlucky but it was my mistake. I will not give up, we need to be fighting it is going to be a very very long day tomorrow. I must say Hayden has done a good job. It was a surprise really, but he has shown great speed.

Car #5 - E. Evans / D. Barritt: We had one reasonable stage and that was about it. It is difficult to get some confidence here. I think I have to try and start afresh tomorrow. You have to be clean or you are not coming back. It is going to be very long day, we need to make the most of it.

Car #8 - D. Sordo / M. Marti: We hit something in a very slow corner in the last split and we lost the wheel.

Car #7 - T. Neuville / N. Gilsoul: I only could drive in road mode, I am happy I managed to get here. I'm happy with the changes I made to get us to the end. The turbo pipe went - like it did in Argentina last year - but this time I managed to keep us going.

Car #21 - M. Prokop / J. Tomanek: We managed, it was not an easy stage and the first few kilometers were quite rough. I am happy to be here. I am much more happy than in Portugal. I like the location for tomorrow, it is a really nice one.

Car #6 - O. Tanak / R. Molder: It has been really difficult for us but in the end we managed to get here without problems. We just need to keep pushing.

Car #20 - H. Paddon / J. Kennard: Something is broken in the rear of the car. In some corners we went completely sideways, it might be the right suspension. At one point we hit a bank and from then we backed off and we lost a lot of time. Not sure what the problem is. Tomorrow is going to be tough. Many drivers know tomorrow's stages well, but we will still have road position to manage, we will see.

Car #12 - K. Al Qassimi / C. Patterson: It has been a tough day. The last stage was a car breaker, we took it easy in the first section but here we are so we did better than others. Tomorrow is a tough day and it is going to be a new chapter.

Car #37 - L. Bertelli / L. Granai: It gotta be pleased but we had a problem with a damper this morning and now I have got a gearbox oil leak. I need to reach the service but it should not be a problem. We are through to this day that was very tough so it is good.

Car #41 - N. Fuchs / F. Mussano: It has been an amazing day, very long. Punctures and all sorts. It was a difficult final stage.

Car #38 - Y. Protasov / P. Cherepin: It was a little bit dusty there but Nasser is OK. There is nothing left on my tyres. But I have plans for tomorrow!

Car #43 Lappi: The incident is part of motorsport, these things happen and they happened to me. I can drive faster. There is big potential on the car. This rally is not finished, the result is not going to be so good but we will try to learn until the end.
