I like to push a lot harder from the beginning. This is a new rally for the Juniors; pace notes are important.

Michal, have you carried out any extra training for the heat?

I have tried to prepare correctly for the season. I am in a good condition. I hope all is okay.

It is very important to fight. There are new teams and new cars. This is a big opportunity for me to get a good place. I hope to finish well. It is normal that some teams and drivers leave. We will try and beat the new opposition. It is not easy but possible.
