The Czech driver was third on the day, but the result cannot hide his disappointment at the fact that his car is lacking oomph to fight for the top honours.

"I can't say it was a good day because I saw we have no need for speed. We peak at 152, 155 km/h, and I see guys overtaking us like it's nothing. I don't know whether we posted a decent time, but we didn't make any mistakes any my co-driver did a superb job. Unfortunately, we can't change that, we'll just have to deal with it. I'll have to fight in a different way. I hope it'll work out. What can I do when the others overtake me?"
