INFORMATION ABOUT SS 5
retired (60 - Vukasovic Laurent / Groux Steve): technical problem after SS 5
retired (82 - Rada Martin / Jugas Jaroslav): accident in SS 5
flash info (31 - Protasov Yuriy / Cherepin Pavlo): For me it was quite better, but we are still on studs.
flash info (22 - Melichárek Jaroslav / Melichárek Erik): Stage is very hard, very muddy, very difficult. Samé sračky.
flash info (3 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): Not so bad, struggling this afternoon, I have never driven on this winter tyre, so I am struggling to get the confidence. The amount of mud on the road is incredible.
flash info (11 - Bouffier Bryan / Panseri Xavier): Up to now everything is working well, it is fantastic. The stage before I was not trusting in my skill but now it is better. The tyre choice was okay. This stage was a bit drier, a bit cleaner than the stage before.
retired (8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): technical problem - electric before SS 5
flash info (10 - Kubica Robert / Szczepaniak Maciej): Very very difficult, very slippery, very tricky conditions. We have four snow tyres, I think is not ideal for this stage.
flash info (6 - Evans Elfyn / Barritt Daniel): Very very difficult in there but we have the right tyre for the job. I think maybe not ultimate performance for us, but we could do better.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Markkula Mikko): Not easy that is for sure. We just want to get experience. Not so much I can do when it is like this, just keep it in the lines.
flash info (4 - Østberg Mads / Andersson Jonas): It was not too good. I tried not a safe choice on the tyre for this one and we made a mistake, we chose a cross between slick and winter tyre and it was not the right one, there was too much dirt on the road.
flash info (5 - Hirvonen Mikko / Lehtinen Jarmo): It was ok. It is really muddy and slippy in places. We just need to get more mileage with the car, I am just not confident with these conditions.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): Very dirty stage, many slippy places. Now everything is ok, the tyres are right and it is a good feeling. We have been running the snow tyre and it has been so dirty, so muddy and I think it is the right choice.
(8 - Sordo Dani / Martí Marc): stopped on liaison before stage with technical problem (flat battery)
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): Different from this morning. I think we are not perfect on the tyre choice. A difficult stage for us. For this one the compromise on the tyre choice was not bad, but for the loop I am not happy with my tyre choice.
Most of the stage is wet with mud, ice only on few places.
