"I never went well in this super special, I'm sure the others will go faster but the car felt surprising good in there. Tomorrow will be a different rally, if the snow comes tonight it will be a challenge." | ||||||

"In a straight line I hit something on the right-hand side. I thought it was a puncture. It's like this when there is so much snow - it can hide something." | ||||||

"When I have a rut to follow I don't need the chassis working, so when it's like this I can attack a bit more. But when it's smooth I struggle. My only target now is to say ahead of Ogier." | ||||||

"These are not the conditions in which to build confidence. We're not too far behind the pace Latvala, but I don't have the confidence to push hard." | ||||||

"Only three cars to beat at the moment, but okay. Better conditions, a lot better than yesterday, more consistent grip. I don't feel I have the speed to challenge the leaders, my only aim is to take a point off Ogier." | ||||||

"A lot of snow banks in here, and it's easy to get caught. A reasonable stage for me, but for sure it will clean. I'm concentrating on the points, that's all I can do." | ||||||

"Suninen is dropping back a bit, so maybe I have the opportunity to take a point here. The roads on this loops will clean a lot. I expect the guys behind will annihilate our times." | ||||||
