| "On Sunday we will see the result, but like in every rally I will do the best I can. This is one of the rallies where I like to drive and like to push, so hopefully we can fight." | ||||||

| "I like this stage. Last year it was the power stage, and now the soft tyre is moving a lot in this stage and the grip is starting to be much more difficult to drive. It was not a clean run, but let's see how Craig is coming behind because it's cleaning also for us." | ||||||

| "That's the plan - just cotinue the same way. It's always tricky on the second pass. You need to push but also be clever." | ||||||

| "I can not do better than this. We are lacking some grip on the second pass. I tried to push as hard as I can but there is no grip. I think Craig can beat that, but let's see what we can do on the next one." | ||||||

| "I think after this we can start to be more clever. Not easy to be clever at a rally like this, you have to keep a good rhythm and pace. In this one we had some jumps and they are not nice for the car." | ||||||

| "It was really great day. Yesterday the gap felt small and today we could effect it much bigger. It's really difficult to maintain the gap, but it's easier for tomorrow. I was preparing a lot for the first stage. I knew it could be a stage where you can make a big difference, and we made a big effort there." | ||||||
