First reference time for Kalle Rovanperä: 10'45″3.

 

Rovanperä: “I think we just don't have the right things on the car at the moment. We'll see what we can do. This one was pretty good at first, but in the middle it was horrible. It feels like the car isn't working in the low speed sections and I think we're going to lose time. »
