"It's hard to say it's perfect, there is still quite a lot of understeer. It's a very demanding stage and the conditions were nice. For sure it's enjoyable, but it's only the first stage and there's a long way to go."
SS2 Sarriojärvi 2 (31.05 km)	15:52.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	117.3 km/h	31:50.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"I tried to be very nice to the tyres at the beginning and after 10km I thought - the tyres were finished - and I knew there was still 20km to go. In the end it was just handbrake. I tried to be as nice as possible, but it was difficult, it's just such a hard surface."
2. leg

"This morning I was pushing quite hard and sometimes hitting the banks. It's difficult, far back the ice is already in some lines and it's changing a lot."
SS4 Kaihuavaara 1 (19.91 km)	9:12.7	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	129.7 km/h 0.31 s/km	54:57.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"We did some changes before, and the car was behaving very nice. It's so difficult to find the confidence, but if you know this stage then it's one of the best."
SS6 Mustalampi 2 (24.43 km)	13:57.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	105.0 km/h	1:21:25.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's so difficult - we were just trying to come through as smooth as possible but I'm sure it's very hard for tyre wear."
SS7 Kaihuavaara 2 (19.91 km)	9:10.5	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	130.2 km/h 0.09 s/km	1:30:35.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"I was really worried about the last stage, so I used the worst tyres just so we could get through. The last one will be really important now."
SS8 Siikakämä 2 (27.68 km)	12:56.3	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	128.4 km/h 0.44 s/km	1:43:32.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It went to plan. The tyres were quite tired, so it was important to get here without any mistakes."
3. leg

"It's easier to just think about the driving and not the gaps. Let's see - the next time through is more important."
SS10 Aittajärvi 2[Power Stage] (22.47 km)	10:04.1	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	133.9 km/h 0.08 s/km	2:03:49.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"First, when you come to a new event it's always a bit unexpected. This weekend, we came to the home country of Toyota and we expected them to be very strong. The pressure was there and we knew it was going to be very complicated to take the fight. In the end we did a very good weekend - nothing too much, only one mistake yesterday. It's an amazing place - definitely one of the best places to have a winter rally, especially yesterday, it was so demanding. I think to come back here a second time would be much more enjoyable, especially when you know where you are going!"
