“It’s a really perfect day, the car and the tyre are perfect, the driver and co-driver are not so bad, we did a good day except for the first stage this morning in the wet condition. “I definitely love my wife but I also love my tyres and my car,” Bonato said. The flying Frenchman, armed with a Michelin-equipped Citroën C3 Rally2, was sensational throughout Friday’s six sealed-surface stages that totalled 88.72 kilometres and proved a tough task for the ERC regulars and their Spanish championship counterparts.Ĭo-driven by Benjamin Boulloud, Bonato, who scored his breakthrough ERC win on the 2022 finale in Catalunya, holds an advantage of 11.0sec over Hayden Paddon after he went fastest four times during the day. Yoann Bonato underlined his status as an asphalt ace during an action-packed opening leg of Rally Islas Canarias, the second FIA European Rally Championship round of the season.

I'm very happy to be in Rall圓 and the pace was good over the weekend. Been really fun to develop the car and big thanks to MSport Poland. Yeah it's been a really enjoyable rally, with the Rally 3 Evo. I feel great, but we set some good stage times, but at the end the result is not so great for us, we are happy with what we've done, I'd like to thank our team at MRF. Yeah once again, the weather was changing quite heavily! The experience is in the backpack, the car is in one piece and hopefully there will be some points for the championship. (4 - Kristensson Tom / Johansson Andreas): Rally full of experience for us and I'm really happy we're in the finish. I feel we did quite a good job in both of the longer stages. I had a very difficult event, we had a bad luck with starting positions and weather, especially today. I don't know how good our time was, but I did my best. I drive first time with hard tyres in wet conditions. We are so happy, that was a fantastic rally, a fantastic time for us, different experience with the weather condition today. We're still working but happy with our work. We started with a problem on SS1, so we lost 21 seconds, but I think we did a good rally. (12 - Suárez José António / Iglesias Alberto): If next week was the rally I'd be fit to drive! Thanks to MRF Tyres, all our supporters make it possible, the experience and what we gain is incredible. I'm really happy for the race, because it's the first time with this car, I'm honestly flat out but very happy. It's not what we wanted, but we showed my driving is okay and the pace notes are fine. We should've been faster and better in some decisions this weekend. Technical problem - fuel pump before SS 13 (10 - Franceschi Mathieu / Escartefigue Jules):Ĭrazy! So much rain at the beginning. Really tough Saturday, trying to battle in the rain for the podium and Spanish Championship. Thanks to MRF Tyres, to Rally Team in Spain and everyone supporting us. It was raining on the stage, we were trying to be as fast as possible. We are happy for the weekend, we started qualifying with bad lag. To come here and get a podium is not expected, so that's great. Obviously if the weather was better it would've been good to go for some Power Stage points, but we didn't have the right tyres. Incredible, my team is perfect, my tyres are perfect, my co driver is perfect! It's all really perfect, my mechanics, engineers and my team are perfect! Thanks everybody, the conditions were perfect to the end! (14 - Palomo Óscar / Del Barrio Rodolfo): Stage was stopped because of accident of car no.
