| "It was slippery and I was a bit too cautious. I was not immediately in the rhythm I have to say. I believe my tyre choice is the best we can do, certainly the long stage (SS4) is always a tricky one." | ||||||

| "It was not a big moment, I knew there was a field on the outside but I was a bit too optimistic on the note. I struggled to go faster through the stage, the grip is very low." | ||||||

|
| "The first stage I was not really sharp, I could have been a little bit faster. I'm pushing as hard as I can, but I'm struggling for grip - I can't match Ott that's for sure! I feel I've made the right choice with the tyres." | ||||||

| "Welcome to my world Thierry! It is not too bad, for sure the grip is much higher than this morning. Maybe there will be high tyre wear this afternoon." | ||||||

| "It is cleaning a lot and for sure it is going to get much faster after a couple of cars. I gave it everything I have, there's not much more." | ||||||

| "It has been very tough for the front-runner today, it has been very loose and we have been losing time all day. If the conditions are tricky tomorrow that makes it tough for everbody and that gives opportunities." | ||||||

| "Very difficult, I think the car is very snappy in there because the tyres are not working here in the wet. Difficult to know if these were the best choice." | ||||||

| "I think I have to get used to these tyres a little bit. I don't think I was aggressive. For sure, more rain would help." | ||||||
