| "I'm not surprised [they're faster on the splits] to be honest, it was really dry - much more loose than expected. Definitely one of the worst stages I have done this year driving wise also, proper s***." | ||||||

| "Quite tricky. Still seems to be a lot of cleaning so that's definitely quite tricky. Also here I felt that the car balance was not so good, I was oversteering everywhere all the time. Hopefully in the afternoon we can do something better." | ||||||

|
| "For sure it's better than in the morning but it's still quite a big mess after the small cars, and the stage has been open for some civilian cars in between so that's not good. But I tried to be clean on a messy surface." | ||||||

| Small off | ||||||
| "I had a half spin so I lost some time there going a bit not the right way let's say, anyway happy to be at the end of the day. Second pass was much more demanding than the first pass. Very hard base on the road but no line at all, I cannot do much more." | ||||||

| "Not really feeling good, but hopefully it's better than yesterday. Still struggling with the car a bit on the twisty sections, I don't really like how it feels at the moment. Tricky stage - low sun and lots of dust." | ||||||

| Finishes with no rubber on rear tyres "I think we are lucky to be here. A big mistake with the tire choice. For sure we knew that this one will be rough on the tires but we didn't expect it to be that high tire wear." | ||||||

| "We didn't have any hard tires it's difficult to predict how the tire wear is. Even on this one it already feels quite rough for the tires, so I need to check the tire wear and manage the loop." | ||||||

| Driving in the dust of Munster | ||||||
| "It's a bit like driving in Super Mario kart when someone is throwing bananas or smoke bombs in front of you! Definitely losing a lot of time, let's see how much we get back." | ||||||

| "It's not going to be enough [on the powerstage]. This one is cleaning even worse than the previous stage. I think the second pass will be horrible, I think the starting place will be the biggest factor on the times." | ||||||

| "Definitely not the best week for us. Felt the weekend was quite difficult already from the start, being handicapped with the starting place cost us all the weekend and also not the best choices made." | ||||||
