"It's been good. There's a good atmosphere in the car, I'm enjoying it. A perfect day up to now. Okay, I expect we'll lose a bit of time on the final stage because we don't have the soft tyres. There's still a bit of confusion about the time on the cancelled stage. I'll leave that to the team to resolve." | ||||||

"A bit of a safer approach. The car is higher, and we're carrying two spare wheels, which affects the balance. This stage was narrow and rough in places. We're taking care." | ||||||

"Quite tricky. Patches of mud making the grip difficult. I drove a cautious stage but for sure Mikkelsen is on a push. I have time in my pocket so I'll use it." | ||||||

"An almost perfect weekend - huge thanks to my team. We made the most of the position we were in and I couldn't have done any more. It shows the DS 3 is still a great car. For me too it's another step. I'm really, really excited about 2017!" |
