Driver quotes after S.S 3
Nasser Al-Attiyah : From the second stage the pop-off valve opened two times, I reset again. I think both Fiestas have some problem with the valve but we are here, we will try.
Alexey Lukyanuk: I was pushing in the stage but I had problem with the throttle response which took me probably 10-15 seconds. Suddenly, the engine stopped. We were rolling in the stage, reset the car and lost a lot of time.
Juuso Nordgren: No big mistakes, not any risks, it was a clear run for the morning. You have to change your driving style, the car is never perfect on such mixed surface but OK.
Simos Galatariotis: The stage was not so long, we tried to push but the conditions were difficult. It is how it is, it is a compromise with the setup, one stage merely on tarmac and the next one on gravel.
Alexandros Tsouloftas: It was quite fun, we are happy with the pace because we had a puncture before. We are driving on spare tyres, have 3 different compounds now. It was hard to drive on the puncture, I didn’t know if we should change it or not.
Petros Panteli: It was a very slippery stage, the tarmac is a lot more difficult than the gravel.
