Sunday, June 27th 2021 — Four-minute intervals.
Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
Soft tyres all round. “I have to push to fight for the second place. Not a perfect stage. A
little stall on one corner but we have to try and see what will happen.”
Car 33. EVANS/MARTIN
“It was a bit slippery in places. The grass is quite wet. You cannot always be in the perfect
line.”
Car 11. NEUVILLE/WYDAEGHE
Damaged rear right suspension and the Belgian dropped 59.2 seconds to Ogier and saw
his lead whittled down to 11.7 seconds.
Car 8. TÄNAK/JÄRVEOJA
“A clean stage. No problem.”
Car 69. ROVANPERÄ/HALTTUNEN
“It has been a long weekend after Friday. We are just now trying to save the tyres and
cruising safely through.”
Car 18. KATSUTA/BARRITT
“Just bring car to service. We need to see what is happening. Stage 16 is going to be very
rough. Unfortunately I don’t have such good tyres. I don’t want to get stress about the
position.”
Car 6. SORDO/ROZADA
Was 20 minutes late leaving service because of a reported fuel pressure issue and then
clocked into the stage start 10 minutes early and is running third on the road. The
Spaniards are obviously acting as a gravel info crew for their team-mates running further
down the order. They incurred a total of 13min 20sec of additional time penalties. “The car
is good. We are taking care with the tyres to see if we can do something on the Power
Stage.”
Car 44. GREENSMITH/PATTERSON
“I didn’t have any softs left. I only have two. It was a disadvantage when it’s humid. I had
no grip.”
Car 16. FOURMAUX/JAMOUL
“It was a stage that we could really push. It is not a rough stage. The goal is still the same
to be at the end. But I was really enjoying. It was good.”
Car 37. BERTELLI/SCATTOLIN
“This stage was really rough. I did not expect that. The next should be better. It is a more
flowing stage.”
