"It's always difficult to find the limit in those conditions. I was a bit safe on tyre choice & driving, I hope the time won't be too bad" | ||||||

"Happy to be safely through. Starting Monte-Carlo by night is always tricky. A bit of gravel on surface, but not a bad stage. No problem" | ||||||

WRC TV crew report his car in a ditch after 2.5km. He's out of the ditch and underway again. | ||||||
"It happened in a junction. Very, very icy. I pulled the handbrake but the car never turned. It was very slow - 10kph. Super tricky. First on the road is a disaster. I think it will get quicker. Not the start we wanted today." | ||||||
SS4 Aspres-lès-Corps - Chaillol 1 (38.94 km) | 25:46.8 | 2.

"Pretty slippy once again, but at least no mistakes from me in this one. The road is a mix of everything. The problem is when there is snow - the thin layer is very, very slippy. I'm not happy with everything on the car at the moment." | ||||||
SS5 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 1 (16.83 km) | 11:27.0 | 2.

"More or less the same conditions. Okay, it's been a difficult morning but we are here - and that's not the case for everybody. It's not the best, but we keep going." | ||||||

"A little better than this morning but there is some slush around which is hard to handle. I think it will clear, so being first car is no so easy. A better feeling for me this time." | ||||||

"It's definitely a hard job to drive with the slush now. I do what I can, but in very wet snow it is incredibly slippery and I was aquaplaning. We did what we could. We made some small adjustments in service - the car feels better." | ||||||

"We knew it was an open area but I wasn't expecting so much dirt on the road. On the winter tyre we understeered. Okay, I could take a risk there because I knew it was only a field on the outside. I had to try and do a bit more here." | ||||||
