| DRIVERS QUOTES AFTER SS16 TERGU-OSILO |
Car #3 - K. Meeke / P. Nagle:"Argentina was a really nice result, here we had good speed in the first day. Team gave me a perfect car in all rallies, we learned a lot in this weekend and hope to continue this way. This one of the sports where experience is so valuable. We still have a lot to learn but I am enjoying it a lot. You always have to relay on your feelings, the moment you think of it its gone".
Car #7 - T. Neuville / N. Gilsoul: "It was just horrible, I expected more traction but a lot of stones were on the ground. We had no traction at all, very horrible. I could not even stay in the line, I did not enjoy it at all. This is the last day we try to take it easy and bring back the car".
Car #20 - H. Paddon / J. Kennard: "A couple of blisters on my feet... I just need new shoes. It has all been very very difficult, it is difficult to come here for the first time but the last stage is a new one so the other guys did not know it either. No need to be nervous, all under control."
Car #10 - R. Kubica / M. Szczepaniak: "Well, I am not disappointed by our performance. There is no magic, you need experience. Yesterday was really disappointing, it should not happen but it happens. I was not taking any risks but I am now enjoying driving on the gravel for the first time which is good as I am running rallies for fun. I still have pleasure from driving. A massive step forward, now I am having fun on gravel too".
Car #16 - H. Solberg / L. Minor: "We are in a good position if I can finish it. Not sure if this is a strategy, but I hope I can finish. I pushed throughout all the stages".
Car #6 - E. Evans / D. Barritt: "For me it was very slippery off the line but I tried to be clean, being gentle on the brakes. As you gain more experience you get more confident with the car and you can push more, things are improving... it is a learning process".
Car #2 - J.-M. Latvala / M. Anttila: "We are running out of kilometers, a few more stages like that and we would have probably had enough. I am not sure we can get any extra points. Tires are quite OK, of course I tried to keep pressure on Mads, but you cannot destroy your tires, it is always a balance. It would have been fantastic to finish in the position I was yesterday but unfortunately I hit a rock and lost time there. Now we are third, the championship is still very long so we will see. Overall it has been a good rally, we had a little problem and a few mistakes but the speed is there so it has been a good rally. I hope we can get more fights for the championship, if someone is dominating the championship it is not fun at all. Poland rally? I have a big revenge to take there, I want to get back the points I lost a few years ago...".
Car #4 - M. Ostberg / J. Andersson: "We thought in this stage there was no point to push, we saw we took off something in split one and decided not to push much. We had to be a bit careful, we could have pushed harder of course but we did not want to take any risks. For the mileage done, I would buy these tires..."
Car #1 - S. Ogier / J. Ingrassia: "Today the main target is to finish the race, conserve the car and get the points for the championship. It is OK so far. The car is fun to drive: I was impressed on the jump as you are more flat and the car is great".
Car #37 L. Bertelli / M. Dotta: "Finally we are here and we are leading. Tires are quite strange, if you know how to use them you can go very fast but you need time to learn them. But they are great. You have to learn how to drive on the clean, you cannot do sideways, if you get out of the line you can have moments and lose time". |
