Drivers' quotes after SS13

Saturday, June 13

Car #3 - K. Meeke / P.Nagle: The first corners very very slippery. I can use the rocks to get me around the corners.

Car #14 - R. Kubica / M. Szczepaniak: Today's stages are different from yesterday´s. Today we are driving and trying to enjoy. I don´t know where the rear left got off the rim, it affects the car but no idea where it happened.

Car #8 - D. Sordo / M. Marti: I also have some problems. Fuel pump had low pressure it is cutting out all the time. When there is no pressure the car loses power We lost some time and power but we will see.

Car #1 - S. Ogier / J. Ingrassia: Yeah, it is a little bit rough not so bad. The road was damper than I was expecting in the forests, I could have used more softs if I knew that. At the moment is not so bad, I am trying to do clean driving. At the hairping I was in wrong gear and nearly stalled.

Car #4 - M. Ostberg / J. Andersson: It was an enjoyable stage, the feeling was quite nice. I am happy that the time is good. We had a good stage I am happy. I thought if the time wasn't any good after this stage then I would be in trouble. We just changed the tyres, we are a bit harder now but that is it, it was a good stage.

Car #5 - E. Evans / D. Barritt: We had a horrible run, with a few distraction: we passed Jari-Matti and had a close shave with a cow. At the moment I am just fighting with the car.

Car #2 - JM. Latvala / M. Anttila: We came over a jump and landed a bit sideways and the tyre came off the rim - perhaps there was too much load on the tyre. I wasn't sure if it was just something wrong with the damper, so I drove for a while. Then I realised it was time to stop.

Car #7 - T. Neuville / N. Gilsoul: The powersteering is not working and the window is full of oil. I don't know why. We have to have a look..

Car #21 - M. Prokop / J. Tomanek: We had a double puncture and we have no oil pressure now.

Car #6 - O. Tanak / R. Molder: It is good but does not match our plan as we got a puncture in the previous stage and did not have enough of the compounds we wanted. I enjoyed the stage though. We still have to do our own rally, there is still a long way to go.

Car #20 - H. Paddon / J. Kennard: We are struggling a lot with the rear of the car in there. it's quite damp and we were on on hard tyres. We should have been on softs. Though, no moments we took it easy on the rough stuff. But the time is good so can't complain. It is a long rally, you do not win the rally on this one alone! You need to go through all of stages.

Car #12 - K. Al Qassimi / C. Patterson: It is very rough, it keeps changes a lot. Towards the end the car was sliding quite a lot.

Car #48 - P. Andreucci / A. Andreussi: It was OK, yeah this stage has been good. Car and tyres are good.

Car #44 - A. Kremer / Pirmir Winklhofer: I have a problem to the rear: a damaged suspension. I cannot drive fast.

Car #31 - Y.Al Rajhi / M. Orr: I found some dust. We are happy but I lost at least 10 or 15 seconds in this one, but it is not a big deal we will have to see what happens.

Car #38 - Y. Protasov / P. Cherepin: It is very rough and there are many stones, I just try to get some experience. Next rally we will be faster.

Car #45 - J. Kopecky / P. Dresler: It is quite rough in places. Second pass will be very demanding it will be just about surviving. We tried to put in good speed but without taking too many risks, the rally is still long.

Car #42 - N. Al-Attiyah / M. Baumel: It is very very difficult, but OK. We tried not too take too many risks, I am sure the afternoon will be better.
