| "It felt quite bad to be honest. Even though I drove badly, the time will be better because it is cleaning. It's too soft - I can't trust the front so we need to make the car a bit stiffer and then it will be fine." | ||||||

| "I have never seen this kind of stage. I had probably 15 huge hits on the car. I don't know if I have punctures because my display is not showing any pressures but, okay, we are here!" | ||||||

| "That was quite slippery! The first 20km was okay but then it became muddy. It's a bit like Wales, you just wait to see what will happen. I locked the wheels under braking and the car stalled and was just sailing like a boat! Very crazy." | ||||||

| "That's cool! This was very tricky with the cold hard tyres. It was very slippery but we managed. A very good day with no dramas so far - the car has been strong and since we stiffened up the front it has been nice. 17-seconds is a lot in Finland, but on this rally even one-minute is not a lot. It's good to be in this position but anything can happen." | ||||||

| "I am fine with that. It's okay - no drama. The bonnet was coming open, I think it was shaking so much that the pin jumped out. Seb has set a crazy time! I am not so good at managing the tyre wear so I can not use mediums." | ||||||

| "It's been a trouble-free morning. The pace has been consistent. On the first one I couldn't match Seb at all and he used the tyres very well. For sure, it gives us confidence that we are in a good way on gravel - unfortunately we have a lot of work to do on tarmac - but on gravel it is good. Still, we have a lot of work to do but it is not over yet." | ||||||

| It felt quite horrible at the end. Are they just overheated or do I have a slick on the front..? Still, I have two spares so it's fine. | ||||||

| "I don't mind that we are not leading - I made a small mistake on the previous stage. Even if we were leading tomorrow, the points are very important for Seb so I will try to back him up. There is one day left so fingers crossed we can make it." | ||||||
