| "We have four hards and no grip, we were all over the place. There are some lines, but the tyre is too hard to have that grip like a soft would have. It is tricky a road position like this, if there is more grip it starts eating the tyre." | ||||||

| "A little bit like Wales in day one, the grip is coming and going. Outside the lines the car is very unstable, oversteer and understeer all the time. When you have constant grip the car is great but in these conditions it is very difficult." | ||||||

| "We did some changes to the car so I could have a little more control over the rear which helped. It is a new stage but I felt really comfortable. It is a good time but I expect people will go quicker." | ||||||

|
| "Feeling is good, the grip is high so it is better. We have one more spare than everyone else so it is not optimum in this stage but hopefully we'll gain it back on the others." | ||||||

| "I hit a big rock on the line on the front-right and I was afraid something had broken, the car doesn't feel quite right." | ||||||

| "Sadly it was actually colder outside than on the first loop. The tyre wear wasn't as bad as I expected so bringing the extra spare didn't pay off." | ||||||

| "I just tried to be super smooth, it is so slippery. Struggling to find any confidence to go fast, it looks like we were way too careful so we have to step it up." | ||||||

| "Now I went cross-tyres with a wet and a slick and it is tricky like that. Not an easy morning, we try to adjust now for the afternoon loop. The driving was better it is just the tyres." | ||||||

| "I'm working, I'm really trying to work hard and trying to be better. Now running four full wets and trying to get used to that feeling. Every corner I'm telling myself I could have been faster. I just need to find that feeling." | ||||||

| "I felt it just got worse and worse throughout the stage. It looked like it was the wrong choice. It has been a tough day for sure, I was hoping for a dry day today to see if we had made progress with the car." | ||||||

| "I tried to push, I touched the armco. We had a clean stage, it was quite dry actually - some damp parts here and there but we had a clean run. I expected it to be more damp, I still think soft is the tyre." | ||||||

| "It has been very difficult conditions this weekend. It's been really tough, I can't really explain why. I just can't get the feeling. Going into the corner I can't seem to get the car to do what I want. We have to keep working to try to understand." | ||||||
