| "It's slippy, I can say that for sure! It's tricky, there are some anti-cuts on the road and they are difficult to see. We have started so that's good, we can build." | ||||||

| "I'm scared to death to be honest. I have never been this scared to drive before. I have nothing to say, I do my absolute best, but something is very, very strange." | ||||||

| "I think 'a bit uncomfortable' is maybe not the right thing. I don't know what to do. I'm just driving with what I have. We agree in the car that rally is normally fun, so we try and have a fun. We also agree that something is not right." | ||||||
| SS4 Mölnbacka 1 (10.04 km) | 4:39.6 | 11.

|
| "We have to do something, so we'll have to search a bit and discuss with the team what we can do. We try to have fun and the stages are beautiful, would be nice to drive how I want, but every corner I feel I cannot drive properly so I'm losing a lot of time in places." | ||||||
| SS5 Ölme 2 (8.09 km) | 4:17.7 | 11.

|
| "We did some significant changes in service and it seems to work a lot better now, I made the mistake of putting hard tyres on the car, with the rain it didn't help so hopefully the stages don't have much rain on and we can push." | ||||||

|
| "It feels not clean and effective! I feel like I'm lacking a lot of power, I felt really low on power in there. I did some cuts, so maybe I took some bushes!" | ||||||
| SS7 Ängebäckstorp 2 (14.76 km) | 7:23.7 | 11.

| "It's bad to be honest, I don't have any power so I guess that's it." | ||||||

|
| "I have an idea of what is going on, there is nothing we can do. I have been in this situation before, I am really on the limit and enjoying it. If you are losing more than a second a km, then it will be difficult. It has been a difficult rally from the start of the rally week and it hasn't gotten easier." | ||||||

| "It was not so good but at least we have power again which is very nice and not shocking, but very difficult to drive yesterday, so I need to get used to power again!" | ||||||

|
| "The grip is not there and it is difficult because we are doing a lot of cleaning. However, I feel I have power in the car again. We are starting in front but it is a penalty for our speed yesterday." | ||||||

| "We have the power to do it but now we don't have the brakes to do it. The brake problem is back, we tried to solve it but we couldn't. It's quite slippy, so for the first pass on Colin's the winter is better, but we'll see." | ||||||

| "We had a crash course just before the start that everyone was listening to. At least I did what I told everyone else to do, because there was lots of spectators and it was fun." | ||||||

| "It's not so bad, quite a lot better in terms of grip in there now, a couple of ruts but quite nice, a little bit rough on the edges but it gives a good line for the guys behind." | ||||||
| SS14 Tolita 2 (9.52 km) | 4:23.4 | 8.

| "We've had an engine issue all day, we have two issues. One is fixed, but the response of the engine is not there as I need the angle on the car and need to floor the power, but it creates a lot of understeer so it's hard to get the rhythm." | ||||||

| "Yeah I was fully flat out, I don't think it was that good, but now when we are talking about the most important thing in the rally, I missed the left hander, I was a bit too wide in the right hander. We did our best, I am glad to be at the end. Maybe, we can bring this home as a big positive." | ||||||
