Comments by the last two stages:
Loeb: “I had to push. The situation was not so good with Hirvonen coming close. I really tried hard on this one.”
Latvala: “Loeb has always been very fast in this stage and I’ve never been so competitive on this stage against him. It was slippery on some of the corners because of the [overnight] rain but it has been good.”
Ostberg: “For sure I’m not happy to lose the position. At the beginning the [low] sun was against the screen and it was very difficult because it was also dusty inside.”
