| "I was maybe too careful. I don't feel the grip to be honest, so not a great stage for us. It's okay." | ||||||

| "Lots of cleaning in there. I guess Rovanperä was struggling a lot, and for me in some places I couldn't even see his lines - there's a lot of loose snow. I felt better in the car than yesterday, but still not as good as I want it to be." | ||||||

| "I have too much understeer so I am really struggling to keep the corner speed. I could feel it was slow, but we have to react." | ||||||

| "Wow. It's worse than any other year. It's so loose in there and the ruts are very deep, so you just have to survive. It was very busy in there." | ||||||

| "It's not possible to drive like this. I have understeer in every corner, I'm at full-lock in sixth gear." | ||||||

|
| "I did what I could. Without the aero in the fast sections, I had a lot of understeer and the tyres got worn very quickly. We had a good clean run and it was actually quite a push." | ||||||

| "It has been a very difficult day for us. Obviously the road conditions weren't really nice for us and we tried to keep up with Kalle and Elfyn. We did what we could do." | ||||||

| "It feels better, definitely, but I'm still not trusting the brakes. I'm always braking too early and I can't find a good balance. The road is going to be quicker and quicker, I'm not sure this will be enough." | ||||||

|
| "It was okay but it's hard to know how much you can attack. There's a lot of fresh snow in places and we had a good run, but maybe in some of the faster places I was not attacking enough." | ||||||

| "I tried to do a good stage and enjoy a bit. It's a bit more of a technical stage and much more enjoyable than the other stages this morning." | ||||||

| "We're going to push. As long as the rally isn't over, there's still an opportunity for us to step up onto the podium. It wasn't easy in there." | ||||||

| "There was no doubt for us that we were attacking yesterday. Today we didn't have the best conditions, but we were able to post fast times. It's going to be a tough fight tomorrow with Kalle, nobody will give up." | ||||||

| "I had a good stage but obviously Kalle was on four new studs, and I was only on two new. I should have better tyres for the next one, hopefully. It was a tricky stage and I didn't want to make any mistakes." | ||||||

| "It wasn't a good stage. I was a bit scared in the brakings and I was afraid to overshoot. We are here. It was an incredible weekend, a tough weekend, but a great weekend for the team overall. All the drivers did a good job and the car was fast. That's the positive from this weekend." | ||||||
