"Not too bad. I didn't do a good stage and I had a lot of problems with shifting. I think it was okay. It's a long way to go but it's going to be a flat-out rally, that's for sure."

"It looks like being early on the road is good here. I was too careful in many places and the time flies fast against these guys. It doesn't matter, it's fun and I'm enjoying."

"I came in perfect and then all of a sudden it didn't turn in! It was fine. I did a mistake at the end and lost a lot of time and I did a mistake in the second corner too. It's unnecessary."

"No tyres! It's as simple as that. I gambled a bit on the tyres in the last stage and that were dead at the end. Now we see the consequence of that."

"I overshot the first junction, so I lost a hell of a lot of time. That was a bit stupid. Anyway, not really what I hoped for today. The pace is good, but I took a bit of a gamble with the tyres and it didn't pay off. There's a long weekend ahead with still many stages to go tomorrow and Sunday. We just have to keep pushing and we will see what happens."

"I honestly don't know what's happening. I am driving very bad today and I have no confidence at all. I'm trying to get something to work, but I don't have any confidence to push the car. We need to try something else."

I think today is about enjoying and getting some good notes ready for next year. I think this stage was super-fast and it was difficult to really go for it. I'm just trying to cruise through and enjoy."

"They had only one spare and better tyres than I have. I knew Craig and Ott would be very fast and I made a few mistakes in there. It was not the perfect stage. This weekend has been great. My first time at home in Sweden driving a Rally1 car. The team has made a fantastic job and I know it's not the result we wanted after some issues with the car, but the speed is there."
