Info
"It's rough, no question. Nothing new there."
"Some rear right tyre damage. It happened a couple of kilometres from the end there. We're getting through... we'll keep going."
Puncture
"Puncture on the straight at SS6. Seems to be normal here. We had a good rally going so of course this is a big disappointment."
"Had to drive nice and calm through SS6, no other choice on such rough roads and with basically no tyres left… we have another 20km still to go today as well so we stay focused and keep to our strategy!"
Broken steering arm
"I try my best you know. Some places I can gain a little bit of time. I'm happy. Kalle is world champion so we are fighting him, it's a nice fight. Let's see the next stage."
"Wow, nice! Good stage! It's better to finish like that with no fire, it's good. It was a great feeling but we stay focused because the next stage will be really tough. Important to stay on the edge."
"Crazy. I have no tyres, I still have 20km to go so I took it very easy in here just to get through. We'll see if we're next."
"It's a shame about the first stage with the tyre off the rim, I didn't hit anything and it compromised our tyres for the 2nd loop. We could have really made a difference in this loop."
"No idea. I know how I got it, i'm driving on Pirellis. It's not a surprise. You can be as clean as you want, but it's a gamble when you're on Pirellis. The championship is decided by a tyre."

Changed a puncture
"There are 10 million rocks and I don't know which one I hit!"
"It's a bit better now but it's hard to predict how much we need to save the tyres."
"The stage is in much worse condition than I was expecting, much rougher than last year."
