00:00Welcome back to the party, he is flying this morning.
00:06I can imagine today you will need all the confidence you can get.
00:09Tell us about that stage.
00:11Yeah, it's my first time with Rally 2 on wet tyres and in these kind of conditions.
00:17So it's really tricky to find where you can brake and where is the standing water.
00:24So we took away too carefully, but anyway, we are here and we try to build the confidence as much as we can in the kilometres.
00:32Thank you.
00:33Thank you.
00:34That's Larry Una there, completing with a time of 10.42.9, but my goodness, Mikko Marcik might have had all of the nervous energy yesterday,
00:44which really didn't help his drive at all this morning.
00:47After a good night's sleep, he told us he's on form.
00:51Good to finally speak to you on this event.
00:52Yesterday, you proved the road position is not all that you need.
00:56You put in some drive and today is a new challenge.
00:59What was that stage like to get you started?
01:03I had no idea if I was driving fast or slow in the beginning.
01:07And then, yeah, unfortunately had a half spin, so lost time there, but yeah, it's crazy conditions.
01:15Yeah, I was driving in incognito mode yesterday.
01:18Nobody saw me, but I was on the results seat, so...
01:20Um, yeah, crazy, but unfortunate, which is me.
01:24Well, that's the third quickest time even when the spin.
01:28Does that give you confidence for the rest of the day?
01:32Yeah, I think so, but it's, yeah, let's hope we can keep it on the road because it's actually quite crazy.
01:38I love that. I was in incognito mode yesterday.
01:42We saw you, Romit, on the timing board, maybe not in person.
01:47But, Jules, what a change.
01:49I mean, look at the confidence, look at the commitment from marching today.
01:52Where was this yesterday?
01:53Well, we keep saying, isn't it, the rain can bring opportunities.
01:58I mean, this is just phenomenal.
02:00When you thought he was careful and steady yesterday when he had the best road in the morning.
02:05Now, when you've got the really tricky road, he's absolutely through it, but then...
02:10He could put himself up to fourth position here.
02:12I was going to say, he's now thinking, you know, I've got to do something.
02:16This is in my hands. I've got to do something.
02:18I can only... I could have this snatched away from me, this championship title by not being great.
02:25I've got to do something about it.
02:26And he's doing it.
02:28Norbert Herkzig has just completed then.
02:30Let's cross out and hear from Norbert.
02:31A 10.58.6.
02:34That's eight fastest.
02:35Norbert, good morning.
02:36You had a consistent day climbing the leaderboard yesterday.
02:39What happened in that car this morning?
02:41The problem is that I couldn't see from the car.
02:45But we tried to...
02:48So everything was working.
02:50The heating, the window heating.
02:52But independently of this, I couldn't see.
02:55So I pushed many, many, many times the brake.
02:59So we are here and go on.
03:01But our time is completely...
03:03How much of the speed did you have to drive with the window like this?
03:08Yeah, we are really happy that we are here.
03:11We had a little small test before one and a half weeks.
03:17We could try the wet settings.
03:21Everything was okay, but I couldn't proceed.
