| "This is fun! You have enough space, you can play with the car. On gravel, you throw it sideways and go full throttle." | ||||||

| "I have no idea about the front bumper damage. There are a lot of compressions and maybe in a bump it was touching the road or something. It's a good start." | ||||||

| "No grip. I did my best, I was driving on the limit very often and once over also, we went a bit wide. This one was bad with the grip level. I guess it's a bit slippy for everyone, except the Toyotas." | ||||||

| "There was no need to push harder, one tenth is enough!" he giggles. "Glad to be at the finish, that was quite a tricky stage and we got a left rear puncture as well, so that started to disturb a bit. But we are here, everything is okay and we are looking forward to tomorrow." | ||||||

|
| "I don't know if I can really push any harder but it was a clean stage. For sure you can drive a bit faster but there are still some muddy places which you don't know, so you need to keep some gap." | ||||||

|
| "That doesn't really matter at the moment. We're just trying to come through the stages with the speed that we have. There were so many rocks - I managed to avoid most of them but a few I had to drive over. That could cause problems." | ||||||

|
| "It happened close to the finish, but it went empty immediately. It was disturbing quite a lot at the end but still, I am sure we were more than 10sec behind on the splits anyway. That's the speed in these narrow and slippy conditions - I cannot go any faster." | ||||||

|
| "It's very technical, very narrow. I have no tyres left so it's impossible. I cannot stop the car from sliding. It is a shame we got a puncture on a good tyre but that's how it is." | ||||||

| "It was an easy stage - now the interesting ones are coming. Let's see what the weather will bring. I am full on it, I can tell you. It doesn't look like it, but I am!" | ||||||

| "For sure, the last six kilometres were horrible. The ruts were full of water so you couldn't drive, it was just aquaplaning all the time." | ||||||

|
| "Let's say the last two and half stages have been the toughest I have seen for a while. We kept the pressure on Seb and in the end he made a mistake. Now it's looking good for the team but we still have one day to go." | ||||||

| "We are just driving through. I don't have tyres, I have two spares, there is no point to push in the Power Stage." | ||||||

| "Everything is good, everything works with no problems. It's nice. It would be nice to keep a bit more speed but that's not the target for today." | ||||||

| "You need to accept these things. For sure it's frustrating to not win but that's how it is. Let's hope that Thierry will finish and we get a 1-2 for the team. That would be very encouraging after Portugal." | ||||||
