Tänak was the fastest man today but Ogier lost basically just the time in the ditch. Lappi, Sordo and Meeke surprisingly even considering their different backgrounds and cars.

Nandan: Andreas had a bit of bad luck, he had alternator problems with the belt
–
it didn’t break but one piece went around the pulley and blocked the alternator. Normally it’s no problem, they have a spare in the boot, but when the alternator was blocked they could not succeed it was too late and they decided to do Rally 2.
==============================
Quiestions to Ogier and Tanak:
Q: Can you psyche him out?
SO:
Inside he’s different he tries not to show it, if he comes too close I have to play a trick...
Q: We expect a change of conditions tomorrow, what if it snows?
SO:
It can be interesting and I’m happy I’m not first on the road if the snow is coming it can be difficult. I didn’t use this advantage today [of being first on the road], but without the spin it would be close. We struggle a bit with the tyre and weather information today, I think I need a word with Ott... we have the Estonian guy doing our forecast... Ott was right all the time and we were wrong! More seriously, tomorrow we have to be right [with tyre choice].
Q: Ott, what an incredible first full day, did you imagine this was possible?
OT:
Definitely it would have been difficult to dream about this before the rally. For the moment we can’t complain, the conditions have been tricky this afternoon and the car is still going well. Since the beginning I had a good feeling in the car and that’s a good sign.
Q: What can you do to get closer to Seb?
OT:
As we can see today, he’s getting old and starting to do mistakes, he’s a bit sleepy in places, I don’t know what he’s doing...
SO:
Tomorrow’s another day!
OT:
Tomorrow he will be more tired and more sleepy. No... Sebastien is strong, these are his home roads and we play in his backyard, it’s been enjoyable and now let’s see what’s possible.
is it me or it was quite a stupid mistake by Ogier? Looks like he could have stop before the ditch but went forward to avoid reversing?
