| "Absolute disaster. I can't carry the speed anywhere. I am using the tyres too much and I am overheating them - it's my fault. No speed for us." | ||||||

| "It was amazing to be here. I have to say thanks to everybody, all my sponsors and the team as well. This victory is absolutely for them, without them we couldn't achieve this. We were struggling a lot with the car. We didn't have the time or money to make a test, so during the rally we were changing and improving things. I want to go to Poland. Let's see we if we can find the support to do it." | ||||||
