| "It's been a good start. It's very fast and in the first stage I took it very easy. In the high-speed with the cuts and the gravel it's not so easy, but the times are getting better." | ||||||

| "The first stage I was very careful, the next was better, but this one was very difficult. The twisty uphill was not good at all. Okay, it's learning." | ||||||

| "The most difficult thing is the cuts with all of the gravel. I don't want to take any risks in these places because it can so easily go wrong. I have been working with the chassis to get it better but we still have a lot of work to do to get the understeer away." | ||||||

| "We had a big slide on the previous stage. There was a long right with full gravel and I didn't have it in my notes. On this one I pushed at the end, but I think I overheated my tyres. Something I have to learn is tyre management." | ||||||

| "I had a problem with the car - the clutch didn't work - so I had to do everything I could to not stall the car. It was not so easy to go on the stage without stalling or having issues." | ||||||

| "It was not dark, so that helps. I struggled a lot with understeer - it's using the tyres only and the feeling is starting to go already. I did some changes which was better, but also some other changes which were not better." | ||||||
