| "The most difficult conditions I've ever driven in. Literally no grip, snow going over the bonnet. I don't know, just surviving. I feel so slow and still I'm in the snowbank almost getting stuck." | ||||||

|
| "I have no idea. It's just so f***ing difficult. In this condition I'd prefer it to be like in Junior WRC the year before on a clean road. It's like being in a ball pool when you're a child. There's no grip, just guessing what to do." | ||||||

| "Just trying to keep the car dry otherwise we have fog on the windscreen. It was an attempt but I don't think it was very sucessful. But if I avoided 1cm of snow coming into the car it was a success!" | ||||||

| "It's really tricky. They [Rovanperä and Tänak] really use a lot of the road and even more with the snowbanks. It's difficult to commit." | ||||||

| "We didn't have hybrid in this one as we had such a big compression in the last one that it went into security mode; too much G-force." | ||||||

| "I was expecting with the ruts to have more grip and everything but actually it's the opposite. The rear is always kicking out of the ruts and I don't manage to keep it in there. We wnt very sideways in a snowbank and the front came back, there was a lot of snow coming into the bonnet and stuff so I hope I didn't damage anything. There was a loss of power for sure." | ||||||

|
| "I just cannot keep the rear of the car into the line, so we need to do some adjustment. But I also need to change something from the power because I went into snowbank the stage before" | ||||||

| "The grip is a bit better than this morning so you could push a bit but the tire was getting a lot of pressure and temperature, and I had quite a moment at high-speed just because the car went straight." | ||||||

| "I just fully locked up and couldn't pull the handbrake or anything because it was fully locked up. I went straight. I just hope I did not slow down Esapekka. I tried to see at the junction if he was there or if he had a message before entering the arena. Sorry to the team, that's not my goal for sure." | ||||||

| "After yesterday's off in the last stage it's difficult to find my marks again. I'm hesitating a bit on every braking and every entry of the corner, it's a very fast stage where you need to commit so not ideal. The only thing that matters is that we have the best team of mechanics and they managed to repair everything last night so we could be here again today." | ||||||

| "We learned a lot this week. All kind of conditions. Esapekka was saying in Friday we had the worst conditions he ever saw. Saturday was more enjoyable. Thanks to teh team for the hard work all weekend, I wasn't easy for them, bringing bumpers and so on." | ||||||
