SL:
I don't know. I don't know if it was the right tactic. Maybe I couldn't win. It was not so big difference today. Yeah, yesterday we thought that's the best way to win. The problem is that people are only talking about the tactics, that's not good for the rally. Maybe it's important to find another regulation, to have some good fights and not only talk tactics and road cleaning. For people who are not real rally fans it's difficult to understand why it is always a question of tactics. I don't think it's a good way. The regulation, for me, last year was really good. It was tough for the Championship leader on day one, then it was really close and interesting for the next two days.
Q:
On Friday you were late into stage six. We could see you on the aerial footage, how did you start the car?
Daniel Elena:
You know when you try to push, you can have technical problems and it's not easy. Now it's okay because it was the first day, if it was yesterday and today it could have been different. But, I want to talk about the regulation. This is completely wrong; I prefer the fight with Marcus (Grönholm) last year, when we lost by 0.3 second. With Mikko today, we drive fast and he drive fast yesterday when he was first on the road. I prefer to fight for three days rather than have strategy and this s**t. I would rather that everybody was looking and waiting for the fight, but now we all know it's two days of nothing – on Thursday and Saturday night we can go to the discotheque and have the party. We have to change this.
Q:
Now we move to asphalt rallies, you must be looking forward to those.
DE:
Now Tarmac, it's okay for us. But if you look at Mikko in Germany, he was fast and fast. Last year in Catalunya and Corsica he was fast and fast. It's not finished for the Championship. It can be interesting for everybody, but not with this regulation on the gravel.
Q:
How was the rally for you, do you feel your pace is improving?
Dani Sordo:
My feeling with the car is better than last year. I drove very well. I felt very well.
Q:
We'd seen some bad weather before the start of the event. How were the roads for you?
DS:
The stages were better for me, the position on the road was better. It was more clean for me, but some passes were more smooth. The roads are really nice.
Q:
It was the penultimate stage that caused problems for most drivers. How was the event for you?
DS:
There were some problems: Latvala went off and Mikko had a spin. We had no mistakes during the weekend or problems with the car. I'm happy for that.
