"
It's a good day overall, we just turned a minute and a half on a waypoint, otherwise we drove well
," explained the nine-time WRC world champion on Wednesday.
At the finish line, it doesn't make a lot of time difference with Nasser, but that's normal, it's a stage where we were at full speed all the time, we can't make a gap on this type of special. think. What I've been saying from the start is that I wanted to do my best every day and see what it feels like in the end. In performance, even being unstuck, it is difficult to make a gap, the Audi are always faster and it is difficult to hang on anyway. Today, we are second, we are not masters of the game, there is too much difference, but we continue to hang on.
