| "It feels okay, I am trying to experiment the driving in some places because the car is good but I am trying to understand the car itself. I am trying to be more smooth, in some places we were doing mistakes. Maybe we need to change the setup, but the car is good." | ||||||

| "Difficult, but now I have a good tyre choice because the first few stages they were not working. We have better choices for tomorrow, we have a whole spectrum to choose from. We have a setup change to make. I'm not trying to push to make stupid mistakes, but trying to get good times also." | ||||||

| "I see one car outside! A lot of lines which are not on the road, just on the outside. I struggled with the grip, but I had a feeling like on the previous stage. The car feels nice but I struggled with the grip. It's step by step." | ||||||

| "I hit a bank twice, almost stopped in one place. I go outside [of the line] and go over the bank somehow. SOmetimes the grip is there but in some places it is difficult. If I try to push more, I will do a mistake so I need to understand how to drive safe and fast. It's mentally difficult but it's rally." | ||||||

| "It's better but it is still slippery. We changed the setup, but let's see for Amarante. Better, but I struggled on this one I promise. Also, in the same place where Solberg went out I almost went off, but I just kept it." | ||||||

| "No, not happy. Every time we change something. On this stage I expect better feelings but the road changed from the first pass. Every time I tried to push somewhere I made a mistake so I cannot find the feeling driving on this stage." | ||||||

| "We are changing the car all the time, also changing driving style. Sometimes it is working, sometimes it is not. There are different philosophies and I need to understand how they all work. For now, the position is quite good. Let's see for tomorrow." | ||||||
