| "I didn't stress too much about this one, it's a tricky stage so we just did a clean run through with no push. Tomorrow is going to be interesting, opening the road will be a big challenge it seems, there is a lot of loose gravel on the road on Friday's stages. We need to do our best and see where we are tomorrow." | ||||||

| "An important event, this one. For the championship it's a really important place to get good points and the plan was this exactly. It's my favourite event of the calendar so I knew we had to push here, and it went well. Big thanks to the team - the car was working well always. It's a shame that we couldn't fight with Ott Tänak this weekend - I am sure he will show the speed in Finland." | ||||||
