So much ice around. It didn't feel like we were going fast at all. Three kilometres before the end I told [my co-driver] Daniel 'That's it, I've stopped - completely stopped' That's really how it felt. And then we saw the time! | ||||||

It was okay but a lot of gravel everywhere in every corner. I had a good tyre choice for the first stage but it wasn't the best for the second. I passed two cars in there - I'm not sure who they were. | ||||||

A lot of fog, so you have to trust your notes 100 per cent - and on a new stage that's tricky. | ||||||

"I told him [Ogier] before the stage that I thought it was better to take the studded tyres here. That I had the wrong ones. I was a little surprised by the amount of snow and ice in there. But in the end it was okay for us. A decent time." | ||||||

"I thought I had a good stage but I lost about 5sec in a hairpin. It was slippery I pushed really hard. My tyre choice was not bad." | ||||||

It happened when I hit a little bit a wall in an icy place. Not too hard, but something - I don't know exactly what - is wrong. It can happen, but in this road position, I had to tried something different with my tyres. I tried really hard and did a mistake. Now I will try to get back to service. | ||||||

There's a lot of corner cutting and that has dragged lots of snow in the road that we did not expect. | ||||||
