| "The tyre was overheating and we made the whole car softer. When you are in the cuts it's ok, but on the dry tarmac it's moving a lot. A bit of a new feeling so I didn't want to risk anything." | ||||||

| "There was a big cut with a lot of mud and I just missed it a bit, so I couldn't keep it in the line. It's much more difficult to drive this car when it's dry with the Rally1. Now you see what it's like to come to this car from Rally2." | ||||||

| "It is like a Monte, many dry roads and then suddenly muddy corners when you have to kill the speed. Good learning for the next year." | ||||||

| "It was very demanding, very difficult to see the grip - Tarmac or mud I don't know. I think the idle is dropping too low, I stalled again, so we have to check if we can solve that." | ||||||
