 #69 Kalle ROVANPERÄ / Jonne HALTTUNEN

“We are still focused. Today was just a mistake. If we avoided it, we could get some points. We will try to do it, but I don’t think that there is any chance to get points in the Power Stage. I think we are not where we want to be in terms of pace.”

#8 Ott TÄNAK / Martin JÄRVEOJA

“I was a little frustrated, because we had some problems slowing us down. But at least we didn’t retire. The team put a great effort to keep the car going. I don’t think that Thierry is going to give me his position. It’s too much to ask...”

#11 Thierry NEUVILLE / Martijn WYDAEGHE

“The speed was OK. I had to manage my tyres. I had some problems with the car and I was very anxious, but finally we are here. My problem was worse than the others’. I think the target is to get the three cars on the podium.”

#33 Elfyn EVANS Scott MARTIN

“We had a hybrid issue at the start of SS13 and we had to restart the system. It was better in the afternoon, the times were better, we gained some positives. Tomorrow we have to keep the pressure on for the podium.”

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA / Aaron JOHNSTON

“We try to find something. I am not comfortable in the car. It’s not easy. It’s hard even to stay on the road. But we came here and we must stay focused for tomorrow. In these temperatures it’s very hard for the body and for the car.”

#42 Craig BREEN / Paul NAGLE

“So strange we have no problems today. It’s sad what happened yesterday. The car was going crazy hot inside. We are not going to be in such a terrible road position and it will be better.”

#6 Dani SORDO / Candido CARRERA

“I was a little better today. Not really fast and I was anxious not to make a mistake, because it’s great to have this ‘1-2-3’. My tyres were in bad condition and also I had a problem with my hybrid unit, but we managed to come back.”

#7 Pierre-Louis LOUBET / Vincent LANDAIS

“It was very difficult this afternoon. We had small problems all the time. At some point I was thinking about the engine and I lost the braking point and went off the road. I think we could get a great result in this Rally. But with the puncture we lost that chance. Now we are going to push and get the best position tomorrow.”
