"I have a problem with the car, I don't know, if we make it to the finish. In the stage the bonnet opened and it broke the window."
"After all what happened we are here, it's good."
"I'm happy, we are here. It was hard and difficult race."
"I'm happy for the result, thanks to the team and our sponsors and to my co-driver. It was difficult."
"Absolutely happy. Sllippery tarmac and mud, it was a big challenge. But we are in the finish. I want to thank to the spectators, they were great here."
"First time in ERC it was amazing. We had some problems and destroyed our target to be on the podium, but I want to thank to all our peoplefor this great car."
"We are happy, second position is good and the championship is still open."
"I'm pretty happy, but we had big off in the last stage, luckily there were lots of people, but it took some time. I hope to be back on another ERC rally."
"It was a rally with mixed feelings, I would like to have more testing before the rally so would be faster from the beginning of the rally, but then it went good."
"We are very very happy, we wanted to win our home rally and here it is. We had no problems, and we are really happy."
"It was very difficult rally, difficult conditions, nothing similar. Congratulations to Ken, let's see in Canarias."
"We are happy, but in the end we had a puncture, so we still don't know the result. But we learnt a lot, it was great experience."
"Before the stage I had two punctures and we had to change both wheels, there was not much time, but we made it. We are in the finish, I'm happy to be here and hope to be here also next year."
"I hope we will use the experience in the future. In the second loop we wanted to make some progress but few places I was over limit so I calmed down. I think we did a good job in tarmac sections, in the gravel parts I need more expereince."
"I was hoping Norbert Herczig to be on the podium. I'm happy to bring the car home, it was tough weekend, I had no confidence, today also two punctures. But I hope to use the experience in the future."
"It's bad result for us, but good rally for experience. Difficult and new rally with tough conditions, today it was a good day for us."
"Very difficult weekend, lot of problems, we had two punctures, also the stage we hit something so I had no confidence."
"I'm superhappy but I have to apologize to my team, sponsors and friends for the mistake. We did a good perfomance and I liked the rally, it's quite similar to our home Barum rally."
"The priority was to get to the finish, and it was unbeliavable rally. Thanks to the Motorsport Iralend Rally Academy."
"I'm unbeaten in 2020 so far! On tarmac it was realy difficult for me, it was nice that we could come here. Thanks to the team for the car. We drove clever strategy without big risk, still it was enjoyable."
"If I'm right we should win the day, so let's wait and see. This stage was really tricky, all in all it was good we could concentrate on speed today."
"Really happy, the team did fantastic job. We pushed yesterday and today maintained the position and we kept it. Really good weekend."
"We were not here mainly for making the result, but for thetyre devlelopment, but yesterday I was pushing maybe too much. Thanks to MRF people, we keep pushing for some more."
"I'm really sad, becuase in the previous stage we got a puncture. I was really careful, but it happened. We lost the podium, I'm sorry for everyone."
"I was completely flatout, now it was the time to do our best. We did great stages, Sara did really good work, I'm happy."

"It was OK. Not my best one, I could push more, but I don't know, it's not my weekend."
"Same as in the morning, this stage is fast, but I went too slow."
"Pretty clean, compared to previous stages in nice rhythm. We did some changes and learn how to drive with them."

"It was fine, we feel comfortable, we want to get through final stages without punctures."
"Finally I found the car handling better, we made some changes with our engineers."
"We don't have to be in the leaderboard of the stage times, we just want to be steady. Rally after rally the times are improving, that's really good."
"The time is absolutely OK, the stage was good for us. Two stages remain, we want to manage it without punctures."

"Better than yesterday, but the stages are incredibly muddy and slippery. It's a special rally, good training for the future I think."

"Probably not so good with the slick here, also our lights are too white so it's difficult to recognize if it is tarmac or mud."
"That was my first night stage ever, so new experience. Lot of muddy and high speed sections, we took it easy from the start to the finish. We have to be cautious."

puncture
"Very tricky, lot of gravel in the first part."
"I have big note to the organizers. They put big blocks in the middle of the road on tarmac, to avoid them we had to go on the side full of gravel. Before it was on the side of the road, now in the middle. It was many times there, unacceptable. I'm in rage."
