"Not too bad. Quite an okay feeling in the car. We couldn't discover the soft tyre yesterday, so it was a bit of discovering. I think we lost a bit of time in the beginning where the road is getting dirty, but other than that it was all okay."

"Actually, I am still far away from the limit. Conditions are tricky, but I have no power coming out of the corners. I don't know if it's something with the mapping but I am struggling a lot with the driveability. It's something we can improve for the next loop."

"We had a clean run through. The tyre strategy hasn't been so easy this morning and it was a bit on the edge in here, but the balance wasn't so bad on the car. I was actually enjoying it."

"Maybe the car is moving a bit too much. I had a clean run through but I still struggled to push. I am driving fast but I can not go to attack in every corner because I'm not sure that I will keep the grip."

"We do not have the speed and, to be honest, I can't really push to the maximum. The car starts to slide and it's difficult to know where to improve. I made some changes in here but we expected more rain."

"The battle is not over, that's for sure. I feel like I'm pushing but I don't feel comfortable. Last year I felt much more sure about everything and here it's a bit on and off. Difficult to feel the grip and I had a lot of understeer, so we're going to work on that."

"It was a clean run for us. We are still working a bit on the car and, again, when it gets dirty, I start to lose the feeling in the car and I don't know the limits. I am just trying to drive as good as I can but we still have some work left to do. I feel there is more performance to come if we can find the right settings."

"I think the tyre wear is not a problem. We have five hard tyres so it should be fine. I am changing the set-up between each stage but I can't find anything which gives us more speed. We're going to try again for the next one but I don't think we can do any more at the moment."

"I had a huge amount of understeer for all of the stage. I tried to be clean and not make any mistakes. It's been a difficult afternoon because I tried different settings and the performance was decreasing."

"It was a tough day. We had some speed in the morning and a little bit less in the afternoon. We were hoping to stay in the fight but Ogier was more or less able to double his advantage from this morning and there was not much we could do."

"We're definitely going to keep the pressure - anything can happen. It's quite dirty and we have seen a lot of punctures over the years in this stage. I could have done better but I think the gap is too big at the moment."

"I had a good run and I was quite happy with the car balance in there. The tyres got very hot. I am relieved to be here and I think P2 is a good result. It shows that we got a bit more speed during the weekend but there is definitely something left and we're going to work hard for it."
