"It's true we were a little bit slow. We just tried to be clean but maybe at some points we were backing off."
SS2 La Cabanette / Col de Castillon (24.90 km)	16:30.5	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	90.5 km/h 0.79 s/km	27:05.8	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"The middle part was very tricky. We had information it was slippery at one point and we slowed down a lot. We will see tomorrow."
2. leg
SS3 Roure / Roubion / Beuil 1 (18.33 km)	10:07.5	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	108.6 km/h 0.70 s/km	37:13.3	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"It was okay. I had a bit of movement because we have super soft tyres on one side of the car. It was a nice stage - really fast at the end."
SS4 Puget-Théniers / Saint-Antonin 1 (19.79 km)	11:55.1	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	99.6 km/h 0.53 s/km	49:08.4	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"I am not fast enough. The car was floating a little bit and at the end of the stage we lost the grip because the tyres were too hot."
SS5 Briançonnet / Entrevaux 1 (14.55 km)	8:39.5	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	100.8 km/h 0.60 s/km	57:47.9	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"Very bad. I am just really slow in general and we are losing the same [amount of] time all the time. I don't why, maybe there's still not a lot of confidence or something."
SS6 Roure / Roubion / Beuil 2 (18.33 km)	9:57.8	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	110.4 km/h 0.46 s/km	1:07:45.7	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"I don't understand where I can get the time. For me it was a clean run, but when you see the times of the others they are all faster. I think we had some good tyres now and the car was working well. I am a little bit confused."
SS7 Puget-Théniers / Saint-Antonin 2 (19.79 km)	11:49.6	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	100.4 km/h 0.55 s/km	1:19:35.3	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"I don't know... I don't have a bad feeling but honestly I don't know what to say. I don't understand the times because the car feels good."
SS8 Briançonnet / Entrevaux 2 (14.55 km)	8:34.3	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	101.8 km/h 0.71 s/km	1:28:09.6	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"The feeling is not bad but the times are not good. We are losing the same amount of time all the time. The car was too soft in here and we were bottoming out all over the road. I don't have the precision that I really need so I will try to do something different for tomorrow."
3. leg
SS9 Le Fugeret / Thorame-Haute 1 (16.80 km)	9:25.5	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC	106.9 km/h 1.19 s/km	1:37:35.1	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"I am not on the pace. I felt like I was not doing good in the stage so I expected this time."
SS10 Malijai / Puimichel 1 (17.31 km)	9:42.7	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	106.9 km/h 0.90 s/km	1:47:17.8	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"On the first stage I did really bad. In this stage at the beginning I did bad, but at the end I was trying to do well. Sometimes the feeling is good but the times are normally not so good here now. Let's keep trying and bring the car back."
SS11 Ubraye / Entrevaux 1 (21.78 km)	11:56.9	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	109.4 km/h 0.97 s/km	1:59:14.7	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"I have no hybrid in the car but that's not the problem. My problem is between the steering wheel and the seat! I am struggling a little bit to find the speed in the corners."
SS12 Le Fugeret / Thorame-Haute 2 (16.80 km)	9:15.0	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	109.0 km/h 0.79 s/km	2:08:29.7	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"Sometimes the hybrid unit is working, sometimes it's not working. It's something really weird. Anyway, we need to get through the day and try to do something tomorrow because today obviously we are not on the pace."
SS13 Malijai / Puimichel 2 (17.31 km)	9:40.5	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	107.3 km/h 0.75 s/km	2:18:10.2	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"I don't know. I can't do better. I tried my best but it's not enough. I have no idea."
SS14 Ubraye / Entrevaux 2 (21.78 km)	12:10.1	10. 8. class RC1 10. WRC	107.4 km/h 1.83 s/km	2:30:20.3	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"I just tried to pass through the stage because all day we have been really bad. There is no point risking anything now in the night."
4. leg
SS15 Lucéram / Lantosque 1 (18.82 km)	12:30.5 [N]	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	90.3 km/h 0.67 s/km	2:42:50.8	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"It was not my fault. They need to check the cameras because it was not my fault. I did not know what time I needed to go."
SS16 La Bollène-Vésubie / Col de Turini 2 (15.12 km)	10:19.6	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	87.9 km/h 0.71 s/km	2:53:10.4	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"The hybrid is not working and it's all uphill, so you can imagine what it's like with 100 horsepower less. We need to finish like this and then that's it."
SS17 Lucéram / Lantosque 2 (18.82 km)	12:25.0	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	90.9 km/h 0.43 s/km	3:05:35.4	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"I tried but it's difficult with the [hybrid] problems. I really enjoyed this stage even without the extra power, it's so nice."
SS18 La Bollène-Vésubie / Col de Turini 3[Power Stage] (15.12 km)	10:14.1	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	88.6 km/h 0.90 s/km	3:15:49.5	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"We had a lot of problems with the hybrid but I am sure the guys did everything they could to give me the best car. I am disappointed to have these small problems but I am sure they will find something and it will not happen again."
