Comments after SS 8:
Ostberg: This stage was very loose, not possible to push. If you will try to push, you will just go off. I just backed off, it would have been stupid to push. Its a lot more slippy than yesterday.
Mikkelsen:  I drove terrible on this stage, so many crests. I have way too much information in my notes. I did not find good rhythm.
Kosciuszko: I hit something with the left rear wheel, fortunately we are here. We lost some time but not a lot. Sliding, very difficult to drive on those tyres. They overheated, we are on the soft compound.
Hirvonen: It is ok, but now we are going to lose time, those Volkswagens are really fast on this stage. I have to drive, that is the only thing I can do.
Ogier:  It was good morning. Every stage, after 10 kms, I have to fight, it is not easy for me.
After the service break at the mid of the day in the next SS 9 and SS 10 Ogier and Latvala continue with a good rithm at the top with new stage win for Ogier in the both SS. Mikko Hirvonen keeps the third position.
