car feels finding good however
We could be doing better, however the car feels good and yet we are not finding enough speed.
good
That was very good and things went well,
best both car feeling gone good hope limit maybe mexico pushing run single sorted speed stay time together work works
We've just been very unlucky. We're pushing the car to the limit most of the time and things like that can happen. We have to stay together and work on the details. I can push to the limit and maybe I can go off, it works both ways. I hope we have sorted most things. I got a good feeling on the first run at Shakedown and we need do the same as always: go and do the best we can. We will see; it's not just Mexico where I've gone well, other rallies also. I think we can go the same speed on every single rally.
bit good judge pace problems pushing quite seems split system time
I've got a good feeling, ... No problems at all. I've been pushing a little bit but, when I get a good split time through, I back off. The system seems to be working and I think I'm able to judge the pace quite well.
deserve good japan last main points three top track trying win
It's important not just for me, but the whole team. A lot of us have had a lot of sleepless nights. Everybody's been flat-out to get back on track again. We deserve more than this after what started in Japan last year. We're all trying everything to get a very good result. The win is the main thing, but points and the top three is the goal.
good hard today tried
I tried very hard today and it doesn't look very good actually,
again couple enjoy felt fighting good lead main next objective ourselves position pushed road today
Today it felt good to be fighting for the lead again - that's what we're here for, ... We pushed where we could, but the main objective was to get through cleanly and get a better road position for tomorrow's Leg. We've done that now and I think we'll be able to enjoy ourselves over the next couple of days!
brakes car feels fine good happy hard however improved lost maybe next quite seconds seemed seven stage towards
I'm quite happy actually. The car feels good and we have improved many things. We lost maybe seven seconds towards the end of the first stage as it was hard on the brakes and they seemed to go off. However they seemed fine by the next stage.
chose dry gap leaders quicker road
It was very slippery. We thought the road would dry out quicker than it did...I think we chose a tyre that was too hard. I'm disappointed by my gap to the leaders but that's how it is.
believe change incredible luck
I still can't really believe it. It's incredible really. I have no luck here in Monte Carlo. It must change soon.
attack excuses strategy
There won't be any excuses in Argentina. I'm going to attack from the outset. You can't have any other strategy for this rally.
course gap perfect remains threat winning
Everything is perfect and we're winning stages. Marcus remains a threat and of course I'd like to take Sebastien but I think there's too much of a gap now.
raining wet
When it's been wet and raining and muddy, it has been our rally.
keeps stage taking
What can we do? Loeb just keeps taking every stage from us and no-one can keep up.
