Quotes from service park after SS 9:
Tommi Makinen: "We had a little problem with the front suspension. The car is bottoming hard, especially on narrow road. We changed the settings before SS 9, but it was a bad choice. We will try other settings at service. We also had a puncture, but the Michelin ATS worked well".
