| "Unfortunately in one of the places, I was too fast in the slow corner, I lost control of the front and got stuck in a ditch. It took 15 sec, maybe more to get out of this place. I think we can do a lot better." | ||||||

| "Not very good pace from our side, after doing so well on the first two stages, we have fallen off a bit. Not a perfect position. We'll come back to service and sort out the turbo boost." | ||||||

| "Yes that was not the easiest day, at the first stage I did a mistake and we lost about 15 seconds off it. Martins is very fast! The competition is very high. Tomorrow we will try, we are between Paddon and Ostberg, Ostberg will be high tomorrow so it will be tough." | ||||||
