The BRX driver posted the third fastest time in the special and is happy to start tomorrow's crucial stage right behind Nasser Al-Attiyah.

"Overall, the special went without a hitch. We had to go fast while making sure not to hit a rock. We focused on the navigation and set a high pace. We ended up third, but having three cars within 40 seconds after 450 kilometres shows just how close this is. Finishing behind Nasser today to start behind him tomorrow is a good trade-off. There won't be any bikes at the front, so the first cars will regroup, so it's not bad at all. Tomorrow will be difficult: a big stage where things can happen. At any rate, our confidence in the car has been restored. It was a clean special."
