| "I was stuck in the snow bank for a while. I just came into a junction and I just went wide and hit the rear. The time is not that bad, but we can not have mistakes like that again." | ||||||

| "Not good. The stage is in really bad condition with a lot of gravel, so my front tyres are completely gone and I lost a lot of time at the end. If somebody can manage their tyres really good, they will be really quick." | ||||||

| "It was not good. We changed the setup from yesterday and it didn't really get any better. I am struggling with the balance, I have a lot of understeer and I can not be on the pace I want." | ||||||

| "There are so many seconds I should be able to take away, but at this stage I can not. I don't have the feeling with the car and it's not doing what I want, so in many places I just lose the car and the line. We have to see what we can do." | ||||||

|
| "It seems that the balance is better with the car now. The condition is really rough and the front tyres are really worn out. We still have two more to go and I think it's going to be quite a tough loop." | ||||||

| "Maybe the other guys are being clever and saving their tyres! We took a small gamble with the tyres and put them on crossed." | ||||||

| "I think Thierry made the right choice with the tyres. It was really clever from him, I have to say. Tomorrow we have to push and we will see what we can do." | ||||||

| "I was not so good in there. It has been quite difficult this weekend - the pace is not what it should be and I am struggling in many places with the car. We will fight back on the last one." | ||||||

| "For sure, this weekend I wanted to fight for the top place and I made a mistake and we were not on the optimal pace. I was pushing the whole weekend, maximum all the time. It was a great weekend from my side and Jonne's side, we did everything we could and we are happy to get P2 here. | ||||||
