Drivers comments after SS 13:
Hirvonen: "It's very, very close. But I really love it. It's nice to have a good fight, and in a new car as well. I'm trying to take some time out of him and put some pressure on him. I've definitely been pushing really hard this morning. But there's always a little bit more left..."
Latvala: "I didn't have a comfortable feeling, it felt very, very slippy and difficult to get the grip on this stage. I took it a bit too steady at the beginning of the stage. I could've improved."
