Drivers' quotes after SS17
Car #3 - K. Meeke / P.Nagle: We have a gearshift problem. It's shifting slowly, this caused a bit of disctraction. Otherwise OK. We will see what we can do.

Car #14 - R. Kubica / M. Szczepaniak: Not speaking only has fifth gear. Rear right puncture and rear left rim broken.

Car #1 - S. Ogier / J. Ingrassia: No concern at all, I was concerned during the stage about the tyres but they look good. So I might have been a bit too cautious.

Car #4 - M. Ostberg / J. Andersson: There were so many big rocks in this stage, I had to hit some of them as I had to choose if to hit them or to go off. Quite scary.

Car #2 - JM. Latvala / M. Anttila: I think that if the tyre is ok we have a proble with the damper. There was a big rock and I had to drive over it with the middle of the car but I don't know if it did something under the car...

Car #5 - E. Evans / D. Barritt: It was all clean for us to be honest. Quite a good stage really.

Car #6 - O. Tanak / R. Molder: [STOPPED]

Car #7 - T. Neuville / N. Gilsoul: It was OK but I saw Ott stopped so I slowed down. Then in the very fast section there was a rock in the middle, I had to slow down and nearly put the car in a ditch. The damage in the rear I believe comes from the previous loop. No problem for that.

Car #20 - H. Paddon / J. Kennard: I would not say it has been a disaster, we had a spin mid-way through. We stalled and the car wouldn't restart. We were winding it over and over and that cost us about 10 sec. Soon after we saw Tanak, and then we decided to take it easy and protect the car. Then the rest of the stage was too rough to be pushing, we cruised to look after the car.

Car #12 - K. Al Qassimi / C. Patterson: I found some unexpected rocks. We have been lucky to avoid a huge one in a flat out 6th gear corner.

Car #48 - P. Andreucci / A. Andreussi: I found a big rock and I went off the road to avoid it. It was mid-way through.

Car #44 - A. Kremer / Pirmir Winklhofer: The car is running at the moment. I have a good feeling with the car. I saw the big rock and managed to avoid it, very dangerous!

Car #38 - Y. Protasov / P. Cherepin: I do not know I am not looking at guys in front. I just drive,
