"The conditions are really, really tricky. The visibility's bad and we lost the car a little bit in the fast section. I can tell you at that speed with all the surprises, it's really dangerous."

"The tyre is moving a bit, but generally I have no grip. I am really fighting to keep the car on the road, but it is what it is. It was drying a bit in sections but as soon as you want to go faster you go in the dirt. Not an easy stage but definetely better conditions than this morning"

"First of all really a relief to be at the finish, but I think overall done a very good job - good consistency which basically paid off. Just can say thank you to the team, it was a team effort this weekend and we did it. Now I can look forward to the last race of the year where we're going to focus on another victory."
