| "The rally is very tight and twisty and there's not a lot of room to be on the door handles! I think it's going to come down to who's in a really good rhythm." | ||||||

| "It's been tough and quite short. We're only four stages down but it's still not been easy. The stages are very demanding and there's a different feeling in all of them - you're always wanting something different from the car. Tomorrow is more of the same and it's changeable. You've got some very fast sections and then more of the slow and twisty." | ||||||

| "Naturally pretty gutted really. It's been a tough season and there was a chance here so we threw everything at it. I'm really sorry I couldn't deliver it for the team at home. As it turned out today I think the win was off the cards but it's a real shame." | ||||||
