Comments after SS 15:
Latvala: "I tried to save my tyres. I was a little bit worried as there was so much gravel on the road not to destroy the tyres. I preferred to back off a bit."
Hirvonen: "It went really well, and I tried to be sensible with the tyres as well, so let's see how it's going to go overall."
