“As for today, Thierry has driven very consistently and he has shown a sign of wanting more in the morning which is good and is a sign of his ambition for not just the championship but this weekend in particular. Neuville admitted it was a relief to end the day in the rally lead after witnessing his 16.1s morning lead decrease following a charge from Evans across the afternoon stages.
