"Let's see. It's the first time here in this car. We went with the full hard tyres so it was quite slippery, but we had a good run."
SS2 Terranova 1 (14.19 km)	9:26.8	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	90.1 km/h 0.29 s/km	11:54.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"The visibility is difficult. This stage is a killer for this and it's very challenging at the moment."
SS3 Monti di Alà e Buddusò 1 (24.70 km)	15:11.7	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	97.5 km/h 0.21 s/km	27:06.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It's quite low grip - lower than the previous one. It's challenging with the tyres to really know [what works the best]."
SS4 Terranova 2 (14.19 km)	9:09.2	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	93.0 km/h 0.06 s/km	36:15.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"We are trying very hard. Some things are difficult to manage, but we are trying our best. Since Portugal, the chassis has improved a lot - if it could be exactly where it needs to be then it would be a great car."
SS6 Osilo - Tergu 1 (14.63 km)	9:29.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	92.4 km/h	1:00:40.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's hard to say - these roads are cleaning a lot. It's quite a hard surface and maybe they will be fast behind, but I had a very good stage."
SS7 Sedini - Castelsardo 1 (13.26 km)	10:01.8	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	79.3 km/h 0.54 s/km	1:10:42.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"The transmission broke near the end and it feels like three-wheel drive. It was not fully broken, but it was under acceleration and braking."
SS8 Osilo - Tergu 2 (14.63 km)	cancelled
SS9 Sedini - Castelsardo 2 (13.26 km)	cancelled
2. leg
SS10 Tempio Pausania 1 (12.03 km)	9:57.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	72.4 km/h	1:20:40.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Let's see how Esapekka is coming. I had a clean stage, so it's not so bad."
SS11 Erula - Tula 1 (15.27 km)	11:34.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	79.1 km/h	1:32:15.2	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"We put mixed tyres on and they actually seemed to work nicely, so it was a good choice."
SS12 Tempio Pausania 2 (12.03 km)	9:54.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	72.8 km/h 0.17 s/km	1:42:09.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"I am very surprised. I always felt like I was losing a lot. I was really struggling with the engine - it's really difficult with the driveability - but the traction must have been good."
SS15 Monte Lerno di Pattada 1 (17.01 km)	11:26.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	89.2 km/h	2:18:47.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It looks good. I am just driving very clean, always in the line with no pushing. It's working okay at the moment."
SS16 Coiluna - Loelle 2 (21.60 km)	13:29.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	96.0 km/h	2:32:17.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It seems like the fastest way is if you are not pushing and just driving in the line. Honestly, I was really steady in this one. We don't need to push at the moment."
SS17 Monte Lerno di Pattada 2 (17.01 km)	11:18.3 [N]	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	90.3 km/h	2:43:35.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"I got a red flag message, but I'm not really sure what's happening. Today was obviously very good. I had a great feeling in the car and after the first stage I was able to control the lead already. Like yesterday, it was not so bad."
3. leg
SS18 Cala Flumini 1 (12.55 km)	8:30.2	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	88.6 km/h	2:52:05.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"I took two hard tyres in the car because we need to bring it to the finish and minimise the risk of punctures basically. The car is working okay, but this one is going to be very rough later."
SS20 Cala Flumini 2 (12.55 km)	8:23.2	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	89.8 km/h	3:05:44.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"We put the hard tyres on for this one. It's very abrasive in this one, but now we will go back to softs."
SS21 Sassari - Argentiera 2[Power Stage] (7.10 km)	5:14.2	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	81.3 km/h 1.86 s/km	3:10:59.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's been very challenging, especially since the beginning of this [hybrid] generation. We are definitely very happy, especially for the mechanics - they put in an incredible effort all last year and the beginning of this year. This rally was not easy and they made a good job to keep the car going. We have made some good steps. In Portugal, we were really struggling and actually we managed to improve. No doubt, if the confidence is there then we can do a good job. We just need to keep working."
