| "It is a good stage, quite slippery in there. A few surprises, but we had a good push and the time is quite good so I'm pleased with that." | ||||||

| "It was tricky, especially in the beginning I struggled a lot. Second half was a lot better, car was working better and I had a better rhythm." | ||||||

| "I struggle a bit with the feeling to be honest. I feel I have no suspension left, the car is like a boat - I crash a lot. I have no feeling with the car." | ||||||

| "The pace is not so bad, I don't think it is developing better - the conditions. I would like to be faster but I think we have almost reached the limit. We changed the suspension in service and it feels better now." | ||||||

| I think it is getting a lot slower to be honest. The heavy rain always cleans the roads and that's when the guys at the front benefit. I thought the stage was quite good, but you shouldn't lose 22sec with a drive like that so the grip must be fading. | ||||||

| I'm getting a bit desperate because things aren't great with the suspension and I need to preserve the car. It is not easy to drive. When I was on the brake the engine stalled and I couldn't get it restarted, that should have been rally over really. | ||||||

| "It is a little bit back and forward to be honest. The car is responding to what I'm doing. Not everything is perfect but I try to learn and adapt for every stage I do and it is feeling better and better." | ||||||
