| "It's been a good day and I think we can be happy. There was not much more we could do except for taking a lot of risks, and that's never an approach we want to have on this rally. I think Esapekka has done a great job, so well done to him for today, but there's still a long way to go. The fight is on and I will keep doing the same tomorrow. We are still pushing but not trying to overdo it." | ||||||

| "I think this lead is good and I am happy with my day, it's been another strong day for me. We had a little bit of a different approach after Esapekka went off in the first stage this morning. We didn't need to go for too much risk, but still we managed to set some good times and increase our lead. Tomorrow is still long which means we can not afford to relax." | ||||||

| "It's very rutted, so the plan was to take it very easy and not take any risks that could put the tyre off the rim. There is a lot of kilometres to go and the next one is a very long stage." | ||||||

| "I like this stage! The car was great this weekend and it was a faultless weekend from us and the team. As I am doing the next rally in Croatia, it's important to start first on the road there and it was important to get the points for the team as well. I am proud, but this win is for my friend who I lost not long ago. I am thinking of him." | ||||||
