"I got stuck in a ditch. Really simple - caught a patch of ice. I had to wait for spectators and lost a minute - minute and a half. It's a long rally, we'll keep going, but it's not a good start." | ||||||

"A stupid mistake in the first one. A stupid spin. I had a choice to handbrake but I chose to stop and reverse and backed into a ditch. Okay, that's behind me now. A long rally to go." | ||||||

"Really tricky. The car and the tyres are working well but in the position I'm in I didn't want to do anything stupid. I need to wait for somebody else to make a mistake." | ||||||
