"Very happy with my first ever result in European Championship."
"Overheating brakes, so I put all the balance on rear brakes, difficult to finish this stage."
"Rear tyres are finished. Good event for us, getting experience with this car and very proud of the team."
"It's incredible to start the season with a victory. Really proud of my team, there was unpredictable conditions on the first day, so we are delighted with that result."
"Next time I'll do my best like today, but we made a mistake. Congratulate Alexey for such a great driving."
"Happy with the result, but would be better if we set up the car before the rally."

SS11
Lots of smoke coming from the engine at stage end

Puncture
"Very cautious on this loop, we're first in R2 class of Spanish Championship so it's a great result to start the season."
"Really nice, I did my best, push really hard and I'll put pressure on Alexey the whole loop."
"We changed settings a bit, feeling is getting better. Enjoying our driving."
"Just sliding corner to corner, great fun. I enjoyed this stage a lot."
SS10
"Hard time for the tyres at the end."
"Brake pad has gone to the bottom, pump the pad on every corner, I'm scared!"
"Tyres are completely finished."
"We destroyed the hard compound tyres, and have only one spare. Tyre pressure was completely wrong too, so we lost a lot of time"
"Big surprise for us to be in the lead. I'm happy with this loop because front tyres started to lose grip at the end"
"Great weather, good fun, but bad tyre choice so they are very worn due to agressive tarmac."
SS9
"Front diff lock is too hard, so car is understeering a lot and overheating brakes"
SS8
"We spun on a hairpin and the car didn't start, so spectators push us to get the engine started again."
"Still with brake problems, bad feeling."
"First kilometres were a bit slippery, good weather."
"The car didn't start on the parc fermé and also on the service, so we got a penalty. Now, we had no brakes in the last kilometre."
Stopped on road section, continues
"Very good grip on this one, Happy with the car and the team."
"I overtook Consani on the road section. Time is OK, we try to stay in the comfortable zone to look after tyres."
"I'm driving comfortably now, we made a lot of changes in the service."
"We lost power steering, maybe because of an alternator belt is broken."
"Think I lost some time because the brakes were suffering on the last five kilometres."
"Giacomo is stopped on a hairpin. A bit better this morning, but I think the tyres are too soft for these conditions."
"Stage is completely dry. Very agressive tarmac, lot of grip."

"Quite wet in the last section. No risk, we're learning, that's the important thing"
"Still with gearbox problems, undriveable. I have to push twice the gear stick always. I'm upset with the team for such 'crappy' car."
Stopped in the stage
"There was a lot of mud on the road, very slippery."
"A bit better than in the morning. Happy with the car but not with myself."
"Impossible to stay on the road with hard tyre choice, big difference with pacemakers. We push a bit on the last section."
"It's a really big fight between myself and road conditions, very difficult. Medium compounds as previous loop."
"Very slippery sections. Some drops of water on the windscreen during first part of stage. Another learning lesson for us."
"The rain begun five minutes before the start, so we were lucky I think. I chose hard tyre compound for this one."
SS4
"We have gearbox problems, losing a lot of time. Hope we can fix it in the service."
"Stupid mistake in the beginning of the stage."
"Rear tyres are worn down. Sliding a lot, but happy with my time."
"Problem with anti-lag. Tricky stage, hard to find the rythm."
SS3
"We spun on the previous stage and slow down a bit here."
"Good stage for us, but trying to save soft tyres for next stage."
SS2
Driveshaft → Rally2
"No good stage, because problem with gearbox. After 200 metres..."
Spin
"Medium tyres, but it wasn't good choice for this stage, I think it is difficult to make right choice for whole loop."
"Actually we are on soft tyres and it is a completely wrong choice. The end of the stage was terrible, we were crawling."
"It was very tricky and even altitude, I could feel the low power. Difficult stage, I lost a lot in the beginning, very difficult to drive, I have two hard and two soft tyres on the car, crossed."
