| "It was okay on this one, felt like no grip on the gravel at all. Hopefully tomorrow it's not the same. Big challenge tomorrow for us. We will start the day and see what we can do. We will push for a clean day." | ||||||

| "It was okay. Quite tough, it feels that it's quite rough already in the first pass. It was a clean run for us, nothing crazy." | ||||||

| "It was okay but I think on this stage it will be much harder to match the pace of the others. The grip is quite okay for us but it will be getting much better for the others." | ||||||

| "A bit of cleaning in the first uphill, lots of loose gravel. Then at the top and on the downhill it's pretty rough conditions to be honest." | ||||||

| "Straight away when we got the weather and mud I tried to push. Not easy, a lot of standing water for us. It's not getting worse for the others when we are opening the water but I really tried to push. I don't know why but always when it's raining I feel at home." | ||||||

| "Of course you always want to see yourself higher on the standings but I don't know if that's possible and it's not really my goal. I just want to have as good a morning as possible and see where we end up." | ||||||

| "Not fully happy, it could have been a bit better. It was quite slippy in places and I couldn't really feel comfortable or trust the car in the fast places." | ||||||

|
| "I tried to change some set-ups on the car because on the previous one I was struggling so much with understeer in the low-speed and narrow sections. We changed something and the feeling was better but we are still not pushing because we don't really have much to gain." | ||||||

| "I think it's just to have a bit more tyres because we have to re-use the softs quite a lot so there is a lot of kilometres on the soft tyres. It's just to have something fresh on the car." | ||||||

|
| "It is challenging. It was raining so much at one point that you can't see more than five metres ahead. It was just a clean run through for us, nothing special. It was a bit more rough than I was expecting and I was also stuggling a bit with understeer." | ||||||

| "I don't have any tyres left. All of our soft tyres are in quite bad condition and I had just one hard on the car. I am not happy to hear about Seb but for sure the plan was to just get through because so much stuff is happening." | ||||||

| "It was quite controlled to be honest, it didn't feel fast. I was enjoying the rain and mud when I had proper tyres on the car. Quite good points - I was not expecting much from this weekend. We were not the fastest from starting first on the road but I think we did a clever run." | ||||||
