|
| "I think the biggest issue is the tyre. It's difficult to drive with a lot of understeer. I need to change my driving all the time and during the rally that's no so easy." | ||||||

|
| "The second pass is better for me. Some changes that we did to the car are better now and my driving is also adapting to the tyre as well. We try to continue like this - we are not too slow now, so it's good." | ||||||

|
| "The rally is totally different. When you have a long corner, you need to have so many different things from the car and I think I am not fully happy with the car and myself also. It's getting better and it was quite an okay day." | ||||||

| "It's quite tricky already with the cuts. There is a lot of damp, then some fog also. I wanted to get a bit of feeling so I was a bit careful. It's good, I enjoyed it." | ||||||

|
| "It was okay. We had a puncture on the previous one, so I didn't want to take any big risks on the cuts. We had a huge moment on the stage - maybe one of the biggest I have ever had - so we were lucky to escape that one." | ||||||

| "It was a clean run. It's really tricky with the conditions - a lot of gravel from the ruts. In a few places we had stones on the line and when you hit them it's quite scary." | ||||||

| "Quite okay. I was quite slow on the previous stage when I saw Adrien stopped. He was the only guy close to us, so I am not pushing anymore. I'm just trying to learn the stages and see how the condition is." | ||||||

|
| "It has been quite okay. The main thing for us is that we have been improving all the time with the set-up of the car and the driving myself. I haven't been on the limit. It was one corner which I miscalculated big-time, but other than that I think we have been on the safe side. I don't want to risk anything." | ||||||

|
| "It has been like this. A lot of learning for us. We changed the set-up of the car to try to gain something for the power stage. There was a lot of gravel here so I was quite careful." | ||||||

|
| "It's mainly because of the conditions. The last part is now drying up and I think the guys behind will come much faster all the time. I think we can not do much. We do some set-up changes in the last service and I was not enjoying it so much, but it was good to drive here." | ||||||
