Drivers comments:
M. Hirvonen: "You really need to push hard to fight against those Ford boys, there is a long way to go, but we have to stay in the fight and we're there, so that's good."
P. Solberg: "We had a spin and got stuck and lost maybe 15s. We need to just calm down and not think about it."
M. Ostberg: "I'm struggling with understeer. This was another field stage and the last one was the same. I haven't tested in these conditions and it seems like the set-up doesn't work. Now we'll go back out in the forests on the nice stages again so hopefully we can take some time back."
