"The problem is all of the cuts are making the road wet. There's a lot of mud and that doesn't help the confidence."
SS2 Plage du Liamone - Sarrola-Carcopino 1 (29.12 km)	18:38.7	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	93.7 km/h 0.56 s/km	39:03.8	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC
"It felt not so bad but the time's not anywhere so that's a bit surprising. We'll sit down with the data over lunch and see what's not working."
SS3 Pietrosella - Albitreccia 2 (31.20 km)	20:11.7	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	92.7 km/h 0.63 s/km	59:15.5	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"On the second half of the stage the tyres seemed to go off and the rear was sliding all over the place. We swiped a rock face."
SS4 Plage du Liamone - Sarrola-Carcopino 2 (29.12 km)	18:35.4	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	94.0 km/h 0.52 s/km	1:17:50.9	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC

"We're trying things and using it as a bit of a test session but we've taken a bit of a step back this morning with the set up. I need the car to help me to give me the confidence, but now it's not giving me confidence at all."
SS6 Novella 1 (17.27 km)	11:17.7	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	91.7 km/h 0.27 s/km	2:01:52.0	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"The grip is a lot higher in this stage but we're in a bit of 'no man's land' at the moment in terms of our position."
SS7 La Porta - Valle di Rostino 2 (48.71 km)	32:37.2	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	89.6 km/h 0.44 s/km	2:34:29.2	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"It didn't feel so bad but it's not the time I thought it would be. I can feel the tyres overheating a little in the middle of the stage – especially on the wide part of the road."
SS8 Novella 2 (17.27 km)	11:24.8	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	90.8 km/h 0.41 s/km	2:45:54.0	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"We're just trying to enjoy the driving, but we're in no man's land at the moment. The good thing is we're a lot closer than we were last year. The set-up is okay, but there's more to come from the driver."
3. leg
SS9 Antisanti - Poggio di Nazza (53.78 km)	32:43.8	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	98.6 km/h 0.17 s/km	3:18:37.8	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"It's hard to enjoy when you're not so competitive. The mind's already on the next rally, to be honest."
SS10 Porto Vecchio - Palombaggia[Power Stage] (10.42 km)	6:31.9	17. 9. class RC1 17. WRC	95.7 km/h 2.85 s/km	3:25:09.7	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
Overshooting at a left-hand bend and having to reverse. "The tyres were getting too hot on the brakes and I was never going to make the corner so decided to use the driveway as well. Time to go home and get my season on track."
