"This stage, we were running this in the shakedown yesterday so it was already pretty clean and we don't have the cleaning effect as much. It was pretty slippy in some places though."
SS2 Coldwater I (14.12 km)	7:56.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	106.7 km/h	12:43.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"The car is working well. I was very happy to drive. One slippy left-hander - a junction where I jumped a bit more than I expected."
SS3 Sherwood I (26.68 km)	12:57.2	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	123.6 km/h 0.31 s/km	25:40.2	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC

"It is okay, we lost a little bit to Ott and Esapekka but they were running a mix of tyres while I'm running full hards. The next stages should be better for me on the hards."
SS5 Coldwater II (14.12 km)	7:51.6	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	107.8 km/h 0.04 s/km	38:16.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC

"We thought Neuville was 6.9sec quicker but then realised he was a minute slower. The stage wasn't too bad, towards the end there were some slippy places."
SS7 Destination NSW - I (1.27 km)	1:27.5	10. 10. class RC1 10. WRC	52.3 km/h 3.23 s/km	52:21.0	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC

"It was a pretty good stage for us, a few places we went a little bit wide. Hayden was attacking and it will be interesting to see what Mads is doing."
SS10 Welshs Creek Reverse I (28.83 km)	15:16.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	113.3 km/h 0.13 s/km	1:16:23.8	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC

SS11 Urunga I (21.28 km)	11:34.0	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	110.4 km/h 0.08 s/km	1:27:57.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"He's been driving fast, on the team side they told me to focus on the driving and the team and not focus on Ott."
SS12 Raleigh I (1.99 km)	1:34.5	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC	75.8 km/h 0.70 s/km	1:29:32.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"I don't like having two spares in the car, it isn't good for driveability. It is a good fight going on because Paddon is not letting us have it easily."
SS14 Welshs Creek Reverse II (28.83 km)	15:05.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	114.6 km/h 0.14 s/km	1:51:54.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC

"I thought that Hayden is going to attack very hard so of course I had to do something because I didn't know his speed."
SS20 Sapphire I (19.27 km)	11:30.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	100.4 km/h 0.04 s/km	2:29:22.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"For sure it has been a difficult morning I must say. You have to read the road all the time. I don't know what we'll do with Ott because Paddon is not so far off, the situation is changing a little bit."
SS21 Wedding Bells18 I (7.16 km)	4:15.5	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	100.9 km/h 0.08 s/km	2:33:38.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"It was a good stage for us. The first 3km was very slippery. It started to get better but there were some corners that were slippy."
SS23 Sapphire II (19.27 km)	11:48.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	98.0 km/h	2:55:31.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It was increduble, so demanding, so nasty places, had to be really, really patient. I heard Ott has stopped, I'm very sorry for him. Very tricky conditions."
SS24 Wedding Bells18 II[Power Stage] (7.16 km)	4:20.4	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	99.0 km/h 0.59 s/km	2:59:52.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It has been too long, it's been two very long years. I was losing the hope that I wouldn't win a rally. These tricky conditions went my way. It is great that victory also secured the manufacturers' title!"
