| "It's hard to say, but anyhow, it's good to be back in New Zealand. The target is to carry on with the momentum we've had in the last couple of events and also for us after our win in Greece." | ||||||

| Spin | ||||||
| "Just a spin, four corners before the finish. There was a bump with some water and the rear spun around and the engine stalled. I think there is damage, but it was quite narrow and not easy to recover." | ||||||

| Spin | ||||||
| "Two stages, two spins. Very hard to keep the car in line, I don’t know if it’s the dampers or the suspension but I am not sure what we can do now. We will continue to lose time." | ||||||

| "Everybody is managing their tyres in there. I tried to do a good job and hopefully I didn't go too hard on the tyres. It would be good to get some rain for the next stages because, if not, we could be struggling - it's quite abrasive in there." | ||||||

| "Not easy. The tyres were quite dead on the rear and when the rain came it was quite difficult to keep the car in the line." | ||||||

| "It has been not a good day for us. I am still not 100 per cent confident in the car and we have some things we need to work on. In Greece I felt comfortable but in all the other rallies it's never feels good enough for me to push." | ||||||

| "We tried to go for more grip but it's cleaning a lot in this stage. We did what we could - it wasn't the best run, but it was not bad either. We'll keep this rhythm and see what is happening." | ||||||

| "It was a challenging day, but there was not much we could do. We were driving on our own rhythm and just trying to survive. With the rain and zero visibility it wasn't easy, but it's good to be here. Tomorrow is a short day and we will try to end up in a good position." | ||||||

| "It was the maximum we could do this weekend. We got the penalities and we had two spins. We still need to work on the car because I don't feel comfortable in these conditions. Sometimes it's a struggle for me to drive and go fast, so we're going to work on it." | ||||||
