| "This is something! The ruts were much deeper than on the recce, and I struggled a bit with the understeer. The road is so narrow, so it's difficult to find the good line." | ||||||

| "Incredibly rough. Very deep ruts - I was close to rolling the car a couple of times in the ruts, so I had to adapt the rhythm. I was really afraid that I would push the tyre off the rim. As we can see, we need to survive." | ||||||

| "Quite destroyed to be honest. The ruts are really deep - you are unable to get any speed because you are bottoming out all the time. Our cars are not high enough for those conditions really." | ||||||

| "It went quite okay. I tried to push, but in many places I had to slow a bit. I felt really strange at the end - I didn't get the speed I thought I would." | ||||||

| "It went okay. I had a clean run - a lot of stones are moving, so a couple of times I had to slow down. I had a clean stage and took it maybe a little bit too careful on the last part." | ||||||

| "I had a nice clean stage, but I had to brake in the longest straight of the stage to avoid the zebra in the middle of the road. Other than that, it was a nice clean run. | ||||||

| "I took quite some risks to try to keep on, because I knew Ogier was 12min in front [on the road]. He had probably a much drier road than us, but I kept pushing to not lose any time. I am really satisfied we are here." | ||||||
