| "It is very slippy in places. A lot of grip changes but this is Wales Rally GB. A lot of surprises in the end. This one was a bit better but it was really tough. I don't understand Ott's speed to be honest." | ||||||

| "You can use the exits if you are brave enough, but I wasn't. It is not good to be the slowest, but it is okay. These stages should suit the car but I can't use it, it seems." | ||||||

| "I don't know what is the correct tyre choice to be honest, it was quite dry. I wasn't expecting it to be so abrasive. He [Ogier] is crazy and he is running off the road on some of the exits. I can't take those same risks." | ||||||

| That is not so good news with Ott. I can't keep up with Seb and with Craig. It is nice to be in the fight for sure but Seb is going too fast, I've had no chance. | ||||||

| "There are so many surprises on this stage, and the road is quite narrow so we followed the line from the others - sometimes in the ditch - it is impossible to keep it on the road. It will be a lot worse on the second pass, I wouldn't mind if we don't do it!" | ||||||

| "I guess they are still hoping to catch Seb but I think it is not possible. Jari-Matti did a great job on the last one, a really crazy one from him. No instruction from the team to catch Seb, but I think they would be happier if I could!" | ||||||
