Puncture
"I think I was quite comfortable in the car in these tricky conditions and for sure, our starting position has been good. We have been quite a bit faster than the guys behind us, so maybe it's not just the starting position that is helping us."
SS5 Mali Lipovec - Grdanjci 2 (19.20 km)	13:00.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	88.5 km/h	50:21.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's really dirty now and there are so many cuts. This wet tyre is quite fragile so it's difficult to judge where to cut or not. Let's see how the time is."
SS6 Stojdraga - Gornja Vas 2 (20.77 km)	13:32.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	92.0 km/h	1:03:54.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Really tough - even foggier than this morning. I just tried to keep the pace so I don't do any mistakes and I tried to leave the last risks out. It seems to be working well."
SS7 Krašić - Vrškovac 2 (11.11 km)	6:10.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	108.0 km/h	1:10:04.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

Puncture
"I don't know. It was in the beginning on the small road - we didn't really feel anything."
SS12 Vinski Vrh - Duga Resa 1 (8.78 km)	4:44.2	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	111.2 km/h 0.49 s/km	1:51:02.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Ott has been really fast today so I think it's going to be a tricky afternoon, but let's see what we can do. It depends how well we can react and it's also important for us to score some points, so we have to be clever."
SS13 Kostanjevac - Petruš Vrh 2 (23.76 km)	13:29.8	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	105.6 km/h 0.42 s/km	2:04:32.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's not possible to be faster anymore if you don't take the extra risks. I tried to keep a good pace, but not push too much."
SS14 Jaškovo - Mali Modruš Potok 2 (10.10 km)	5:46.4	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	105.0 km/h 0.28 s/km	2:10:18.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"I am not driving at 100 per cent, but it's quite close. I tried to leave the last push out, but you have to be really precise in these conditions. I started to have some vibrations in the car - it was a bit disturbing so we have to check it before the next stage."
SS15 Platak 2 (15.85 km)	cancelled
SS16 Vinski Vrh - Duga Resa 2 (8.78 km)	4:36.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	114.5 km/h	2:14:54.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"This is my reply! It was a good stage - full speed!"
3. leg
SS17 Trakošćan - Vrbno 1 (13.15 km)	7:06.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	111.0 km/h 0.06 s/km	2:22:01.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It was a good start. Now the feeling is a bit more comfortable - we know the pace is there and everything is working. Let's just continue like this and see how the next stage is."
SS18 Zagorska Sela - Kumrovec 1 (14.09 km)	8:33.3	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	98.8 km/h 0.53 s/km	2:30:34.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"In the first stage the tyre choice was good, but in this one the soft [compound] would be better. I am happy we didn't lose much time to Ott, but we had quite a clean run at quite an okay pace. It's good."
SS19 Trakošćan - Vrbno 2 (13.15 km)	8:45.3	8. 3. class RC1 8. WRC	90.1 km/h 2.27 s/km	2:39:19.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I didn't know where this weather came from. We had no idea there was going to be rain, and we can not match him with these tyres. The hard is not working at all and there is not much more we can do."
SS20 Zagorska Sela - Kumrovec 2[Power Stage] (14.09 km)	9:01.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	93.6 km/h	2:48:21.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Let's see what happens. I was flat-out for sure. The hard tyre is not correct for this, so Ott should have a better tyre. I gave it my all and we had a few moments. It would be really tough to lose on a tie decision like this. Everything was going well, but it was not on our side."
"I was sure we could not be so fast with these tyres, but it's amazing. We pushed really hard and I think we deserve it this weekend. For sure, it was the toughest win of my career."
