| "It feels quite bad - it's not really a rally where you can enjoy the stages, it's all about the competition. I am not able to have a rhythm in the stages and I need to sort this out, because I can not continue to do a full rally like this. " | ||||||

| "We are doing our best, but I don't feel comfortable. We are still playing with the settings and trying to get into the frame of the car, but we are still outside to be honest. I am not too happy, it frustrates me a little bit. Okay, the pace is not bad, but it could be a lot better." | ||||||

| "We never gave up for sure, we were pushing all the way, and we have been experimenting a little bit. We know Sardinia is coming quickly, and we have one week to be at our best. We have made some steps, but we have some thinking to do ahead of next week. It's a shame about the puncture on Friday which didn't allow us to fight, but at least we proved our speed." | ||||||
