"I wasn't sure how good the time would be. I wasn't that happy - in a few places I braked too early, a bit too cautious in places. A nice start but a long, long way to go."

"A little bit crazy to be honest. This is the home of rally and Ouninpohja is the holy grail of stages. To win it how we did - incredible. I've been enjoying it like a little kid - playing and having fun. We always knew the DS 3 was good here. It's been a team effort in the car too - Paul's done an incredible job. What a result. I might had a beer tonight."
