"We'll aim to do as well as we can. I am looking forward to the challenge because it will be a challenge. A lot of new stages, and they're looking quite technical and jumpy."
SS2 Ässämäki 1 (12.31 km)	5:46.0	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	128.1 km/h 0.10 s/km	7:37.0	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC

"Just caught out a bit by the grip. On the surface it’s very easy to lose your line, then it's very difficult to get it back."
SS4 Ässämäki 2 (12.31 km)	5:39.5	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	130.5 km/h 0.29 s/km	23:35.1	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"Pretty okay really. There are some places we could take a few more risks, but it's hard to find the balance at the moment."
SS5 Sahloinen - Moksi 2 (21.37 km)	10:00.8	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	128.0 km/h 0.19 s/km	33:35.9	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC

"Really enjoyed it, but it's not been easy. It's difficult to be relaxed in the dark like this and in the last part of the stage it's very difficult to see what's on the side of the road."
2. leg
SS7 Kakaristo - Hassi 1 (18.17 km)	8:34.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	127.1 km/h	52:31.9	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"It felt pretty good in places - not perfect everywhere though. Generally the feeling is even better than yesterday I would say."
SS8 Päijälä 1 (22.61 km)	10:28.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	129.4 km/h	1:03:00.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It felt okay, but not perfect everywhere. In a few places I came in too hot and lost my line a little bit, but it's okay."
SS9 Arvaja 1 (13.49 km)	6:55.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	117.0 km/h	1:09:55.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"The car is working quite well but I didn't have the best feeling in there. Overall it was fine, but with the new notes it's very technical. I think it's somewhat normal for a new stage like this, but it could have been better."
SS10 Patajoki 1 (20.55 km)	10:19.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	119.4 km/h	1:20:15.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"You have to focus on doing your own thing and trying your best. Until there's something to manage then there's no point to look at anything."
SS11 Kakaristo - Hassi 2 (18.17 km)	8:24.1	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	129.8 km/h 0.03 s/km	1:28:39.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"No real surprises - a few nasty rocks sticking out here and there. I felt a pretty bad one on the rear actually, but other than that it's pretty fine."
SS12 Päijälä 2 (22.61 km)	10:19.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	131.3 km/h 0.05 s/km	1:38:59.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It felt pretty okay, actually. It was all quite clean - maybe I need to push a bit more."
SS13 Arvaja 2 (13.49 km)	6:49.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	118.5 km/h 0.01 s/km	1:45:49.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It wasn't the best run to be honest. I just went a little bit wide and had some understeer which cost us a bit of time, but it's okay."
SS14 Patajoki 2 (20.55 km)	10:09.2	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	121.4 km/h	1:55:58.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's a pity the conditions are quite slippery in places but overall quite okay."
SS15 Harju 2 (2.31 km)	1:48.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	76.7 km/h	1:57:46.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's been a good day. I really enjoyed it. It's been a great fight and there's obviously a long way to go tomorrow, but we'll just take it stage by stage."
3. leg
SS16 Laukaa 1 (11.75 km)	5:24.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	130.3 km/h 0.03 s/km	2:03:11.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Not great to be honest. I could have gone a bit better in places but I had a few big slides at the start and it was quite low grip. All okay."
SS17 Ruuhimäki 1 (11.12 km)	5:25.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	123.0 km/h	2:08:36.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's alright! It just felt really clean, nothing too wild. It was tricky enough in these two and there's a lot still to do."
SS18 Laukaa 2 (11.75 km)	5:18.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	133.0 km/h	2:13:54.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Feeling pretty good. It was a pretty decent run - quite clean and quite committed. We're happy enough."
SS19 Ruuhimäki 2[Power Stage] (11.12 km)	5:18.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	125.5 km/h	2:19:13.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
This one feels good in the way we managed to do it. We struggled a lot in Estonia and we made some changes to the car in the test and found some confidence early on. We had a good road position on Friday and took the lead on Saturday, and I'm really happy to be able to give the team a win on their home rally. I always said from the outset, the aim was to do the best on each rally we have left. We have to just focus on doing our best in Spain and worry about the rest later."
