Drivers' quotes after SS18

Saturday, June 13

Car #3 - K. Meeke / P.Nagle: Pretty good, I felt uncomfortable in the previous stage. The ride height is perhaps a bit low but I am happy that my driving rhythm is coming back.

Car #1 - S. Ogier / J. Ingrassia: I heard I was in the lead just before the stage. This one was pretty rough, I tried to bring the car home but I got into a good rhythm. I was a little bit cautious but a clean one. We need to finish this incredibly long day.

Car #4 - M. Ostberg / J. Andersson: (won this stage)

Car #2 - JM. Latvala / M. Anttila: Broken left rear damper. I am finding it hard to balance speed with the need to nurse the car through safely.

Car #20 - H. Paddon / J. Kennard: (did not say anything, visibly upset. gearbox issue)

Car #12 - K. Al Qassimi / C. Patterson: In a section with bedrocks we could not engage the gear and had to reverse we lost a lot of time. One more to go, we will see.

Car #48 - P. Andreucci / A. Andreussi : We started with the tailgate open, decided to stop and the co-driver closed it. We lost about half a minute.

Car #44 - A. Kremer / Pirmir Winklhofer: Not so bad, the car is still running. Times are OK for us. It has been a really rough stage, we need to be careful and avoid rocks.

Car #31 - Y.Al Rajhi / M. Orr: My tyres are finished but I think we did well. We have to change tyres now and we will be ready for the next one.

Car #38 - Y. Protasov / P. Cherepin: I am in the lead? Thanks for the information we are really happy! I am happy to have this position but of course not happy for Paolo, it is much better to fight a driver than just drive. Let's see what happens.

Car #45 - J. Kopecky / P. Dresler: This one was very rough. We took it careful as we did not want to destroy anything. We try to get more experience and to run some more events to score some more points.

Car #41 - N. Fuchs / F. Mussano: We passed Al Kuwari as he stopped to change a tyre due to a puncture. Did not lose too much time though.
