“This was a very nice stage – very slippery with very tricky conditions. We weren’t pushing to the maximum on this stage but for sure we will still fight to improve our position. Now we just need to make sure we have a clean run this afternoon and safeguard our tyres for tomorrow.”

“The stage was OK. We didn’t make any mistakes, but still it was quite slippery and I was a bit too excited to push on the downhill sections. I just lost the line and was too much sideways which meant we lost the speed. But all in all it was quite OK. “
Mads Østberg (8th) said:
“I was quite pleased with the opening stage. I think we are definitely learning on Tarmac and then when we got to the snow section towards the end I was able to set some quite good split times.
“We have improved a few things from yesterday and we know a little bit clearer now what we need to do to improve the driving. I need to alter the way I brake into the corners when there is a Tarmac line through the snow, so we’ll keep practising that and work on building up our experience.”
