Paddon - 'A big problem having soft tyres at the rear and hards at the front. I couldn't drive the car straight at all. A few near spins, we hit the banks a few times.'

Could be tyre-related though...

Ok Thanks...

I just mentioned the Quattro as an example of how Latvala eats, drinks and breathes rallying, its his whole life.

Shame for Tanak... and also Latvala. The two who had the real road position advantage and they cant take it.

Great loop by Mikkelsen... will be impressing the teams assessing seats for '17.
