| "It's amazing. I always questioned what Finland would be like in the dark and now we've felt it and witnessed it. It's absolutely incredible. My lights weren't 100 per cent to be honest, I have a bit of work to do on them, but it's just incredible." | ||||||

| "I will go a bit faster. Compared to Ott it's not a bad stage, but Elfyn has done a real blinder in there. I struggled a bit with grip, but that's an amazing time." | ||||||

| "There's not much left. Like I said before, I have a reference to the first car in front of me and I didn't think I'd be able to fight with these guys. Elfyn just has something else that I don't have today." | ||||||

| "I think it's been a reasonably good day, we have to be pleased. For the third time in a row, we have the lead of an event and for whatever reason we just can't put it together. Just to be amongst the top people here is something special, but it hurts a little just not to be able to get that last bit." | ||||||

| "I had a little spin at the junction and I had to do a 360. Nothing too serious - I probably could have fired it into the junction but I decided to spin it around and not do anything too silly." | ||||||
