| Puncture | |||||||
| "It was a bit on the limit under braking! Nothing really happened, but we had a puncture. That was a big shame, but it's a long rally and hopefully we didn't lose too much there. Let's try to focus on the weekend now." | |||||||
| SS2 Loldia 1 (19.17 km) | 14:33.5 | 7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC | 79.0 | 0.77 | 18:03.9 | 9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC | |
| "Pretty okay - nothing special really. Quite slippery, especially the narrow part in the middle. There is a lot of cleaning." | |||||||
| SS3 Geothermal 1 (11.68 km) | 6:44.2 | 1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC | 104.0 | 24:48.1 | 8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC | ||
| "The stage would be quite nice - it's really fast and flowing - but being first car is horrible. There is so much loose gravel and even on the straights the car is moving a lot." | |||||||
| SS4 Kedong 1 (31.25 km) | 17:29.9 | 1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC | 107.2 | 42:18.0 | 3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC | ||
| SS5 Loldia 2 (19.17 km) | 14:13.0 | 3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC | 80.9 | 0.41 | 56:31.0 | 4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC | |
| "I think there is a better clean line, so there was more grip. Some parts were a bit rough, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, quite an okay stage." | |||||||
| SS6 Geothermal 2 (11.68 km) | 6:43.9 | 3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC | 104.1 | 0.21 | 1:03:14.9 | 3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC | |
| "It's still pretty okay in this stage. This one is maybe the hardest base and it was a lot cleaner now. I am quite happy with everything, but I struggled a bit with the car under braking and I am trying to learn the new diff. Other than that, everything is good." | |||||||
| SS7 Kedong 2 (31.25 km) | 17:43.2 | 1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC | 105.8 | 1:20:58.1 | 1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC | ||
| "Overall the first two stages were quite nice, but this was tricky as expected. Everything should be fine with the air filter, but at the beginning I felt I had no power. After the dust and fesh-fesh we had no power at all, but I don't know why I felt like that at the beginning | |||||||

| "It seems that the team has done a good job, so we just have to trust that it will stay like this. We have to be careful too - we can not break the car and they are such conditions." | |||||||

| "I don't know even myself [how we did it]. We were basically off two tomes in the water - we couldn't keep the car in a straight line and I couldn't see anything. I am happy to be here." | |||||||
