Crash.net:
How have you got on with the Pirelli tyres and competing without run-flat mousse?

TG:
I am very happy with the tyres. I haven't had any problems with them and I think many of the other drivers are also quite pleased. Ok some drivers had some problems in Mexico - but also with mousse tyres you can normally get some punctures there. You have to be a bit more careful now in terms of cutting the corners and things like this. Otherwise though the tyres for everybody are the same and everybody is driving the same way.

Crash.net:
Have you had to make any changes to your own driving style?

TG:
I haven't because I am quite gentle with the tyres anyway. I didn't get any ['proper'] kilometres in Mexico though [with the gravel tyres] because we had so many problems there. But mainly I don't change my driving style.

Crash.net:
Next up is Argentina, how much are you looking forward to that event?

TG:
It is one of my favourite rallies. It is a very nice rally. I have done it three or four times. The last time was 2005 with Ford. The atmosphere is always very good. I am aiming to get some points there and try to push the car to the limit. Hopefully everything will work there.

Crash.net:
Are you feeling fit because you have been ill in the last week or so?

TG:
I have had the 'flu and a fever - and P-G was sick the week before too. I was quite sick, but now I am fine.

Crash.net:
What special factors do you need to take into account in Argentina?

TG:
There are some river crossings and you need to be careful there, but no other things really.

Crash.net:
How much of a disruption has it been for the team to have to appoint a new team manager?
