| "This one was quite okay. In some sections it's quite slippery with the loose snow but otherwise it was quite good. I just didn't feel like I was driving so good." | ||||||

|
| "There is a lot of snow on the road which is really slippy for us. I tried to be clean and fast but I can't do much more." | ||||||

|
| "For sure the grip was better, but quite tricky to open the road. I can push hard but then some corners get you if you don't know if there is snow or not. Some places I could have been faster. Really difficult, but I tried to be clean, that's all." | ||||||
| SS4 Botsmark 1 (25.81 km) | 12:00.3 | 2.

|
| "Definitely, these two were better than the first, but this was again really tough to open the road. I tried to push and be clean, for sure in the fast parts where it's clean I could be fast. But you lose a lot of time on the junctions on things like that." | ||||||
| SS5 Brattby 2 (10.76 km) | 6:46.4 | 9.

|
| "Just before the stage I got a message that traction has left the chat! There was not much I could do - I barely survived the stage but it was really tricky. It's definitely going to be a big, big time loss for us." | ||||||
| SS6 Sarsjöliden 2 (14.23 km) | 6:39.3 | 4.

128.3 km/h 0.30 s/km |
41:54.9 | 5.
5. class RC1 5. WRC |
|
| "The driving was good, definitely everywhere where we had a clean line I was pushing. There is quite a lot of loose snow on the sides and it's a bit more messy everywhere." | ||||||
| SS7 Botsmark 2 (25.81 km) | 12:13.6 | 6.

|
| "It is not so easy. Lots of gravel on the line, basically full gravel at the beginning. I think I was using the front tyres a lot - I tried to be quite soft on them but I don't think it worked out." | ||||||

| "It was not so good. You need a lot of top speed on this stage - it's fifth gear all the time. I changed something on the set-up of the suspension for today and I need to get used to it a bit more. Not the perfect stage, but not too bad." | ||||||
| SS10 Floda 1 (28.25 km) | 12:12.3 | 2.

4. class RC1 4. WRC |
|
| "The car is really bad to drive and I am losing so much time everywhere. I don't know if we made a mistake on the set-up, or if it's just not good in these conditions. I am understeering everywhere and fighting the car all the time." | ||||||

|
| "Now we made some new changes on the road section and finally it was a bit better. In the beginning I could have been better - the grip was really low and I was sliding a bit too much in places." | ||||||

|
| "Definitely a bit better than yesterday. Hopefully we can have a good afternoon - the tyres are going to be really worn out nut we will give it our best and try to have a clean run." | ||||||

| "Thierry must have better tyres than us. I had a clean stage but the rear tyres are completely gone and I couldn't do much more." | ||||||

| "Quite happy. On the narrow section I could have been a bit cleaner, but I have been struggling all weekend on the narrow technical sections. We had a small issue on the road section, it was a bit of a mess, but finally everything was fine on the stage. It was nothing too big." | ||||||

|
| "I had quite a good stage, I just feel that in second pass conditions I can not push so fast. It's a shame - it seems we don't have the pace that's needed." | ||||||

| "I didn't want to take five points (to have a better road position in Mexico). For sure, there was a bit of a plan. I am sure the guys behind know our time now, so they can adjust their speed. Hopefully we will get at least a few points." | ||||||
