| "It's okay. The grip was a bit better than shakedown, but still quite slippery in some of the junctions." | ||||||

| "If you know these stages, it can make a big difference. It's not just down to that, I seemed to have a pretty decent run, but there are still places I could do better." | ||||||

|
| "Not a lot better to be honest. It's difficult to be very comfortable everywhere - the grip is quite unknown and there's a lot happening. It's not been an easy start, but we'll keep trying." | ||||||

| "Disappointed, of course. There was a big battle all the way through, but today it didn't work out. I was trying, but I just couldn't deliver the times today. We obviously need to have a look at why there was a big drop today, but it's not ideal." | ||||||
