\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Driver Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Elfyn EVANS<\/strong><br>\u201cI like this kind of stage, you can drive in a nice flow. Overall it is difficult in the slow corners.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>S\u00e9bastien OGIER<\/strong><br>\u201cIt was ok. I was bit cautious in this one. I have always had a puncture in here, so I was fearing it a bit. It is not over there is a long rally ahead still. I also enjoy a direct fight that is for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kalle ROVANPER\u00c4<\/strong><br>\u201cWe managed to do something so obviously it is good we got through but it had to be slow. We will see [ what it will do to our championship hopes].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ott T\u00c4NAK<\/strong><br>\u201cIt is the same all the morning. Let\u2019s see what we can learn this lunchtime. We need to see what the engineers think and I hope they see something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thierry NEUVILLE<\/strong><br>\u201cYeah. We will see. We will go back to service and check. If this thing was working as it should we could get bit more pace but not much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Takamoto KATSUTA<\/strong><br>\u201cI was very careful in the tricky section, nothing special I didn\u2019t want to take any risk on this stage. It is all part of the plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adrien FOURMAUX<\/strong><br>\u201cTo be honest I\u2019m really pleased with my stage and my pace. I really need to drive the car one way to make it turn and be efficient. I really need to change my driving style today and it seems to be working but in the tricky conditions I\u2019m still not comfortable with it. It is quite edgy. For the rest we can be pleased with the performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sami PAJARI<\/strong><br>\u201cThere was some slippy section. It was quite tricky. It wasn\u2019t a moment but a few surprises when I was trying to carry some good speed. I decided to play it a little bit safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gr\u00e9goire MUNSTER<\/strong><br>\u201cIt is just driving through. The car is not turning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oliver SOLBERG<\/strong><br>&#8220;I did a spin and another mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gus GREENSMITH<\/strong><br>&#8220;Just struggling with the front after 10 km. We have a few ideas what to change in service.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan SOLANS<\/strong><br>&#8220;Trying to be careful on slippy places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alejandro CACH\u00d3N<\/strong><br>&#8220;Really tricky to be honest. No confidence. But no mistake and the rally is still long.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yuki YAMAMOTO<\/strong><br>&#8220;I just went wide on the entry to the tunnel. I hope for a better afternoon.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2266,"parent":0,"template":"","cat_news":[2],"tag_news":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2260"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2394,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2260\/revisions\/2394"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cat_news","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cat_news?post=2260"},{"taxonomy":"tag_news","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rally-japan.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_news?post=2260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
