"We are lucky to be here, we had many problems with the car. Happy to be on the finish."
"We are really happy to be on the podium after difficult yesterday. Happy to be at the finish."

"I'm so tired, it was a long weekend."
"I'm really happy, I would like to thanks everybody and TOK Sport, it was great year, I'm really happy and I enjoyed it a lot. This was a long day and I'm happy to be in the finish."
"Good weekend, good step forward. In this stage we lost brakes and it was complicated."
"I'm feeling OK, we have good years and difficult years. 2021 is not easy, but we did some good kilometers in Hungary."
"Amazing season, we fight for the title and we are very close. Thanks to my co-driver and everybody."
"I feel it was very long and difficult race, it was my first ERC race and I'm very happy to be in the finish."
"Incredible, perfect weekend for us. Only probles with Joan, but all worked well for us."

"The position is good, yesterday we were fighting until the puncture, but it's OK."
"I'm satisfied because we are lucky to be here with the mistake I did yesterday. It will be a crazy battle in Canarias."
"This was really important for the championship. Really nice weekend, I think we did maximum what we could. Good rally for us and the team. It wasn't easy weekend but the result is really nice."
"It wasn't amazing performance, I was struggling with the notes and pace more than expected. Anyway thanks to M-Sport Poland."
"We took a lot of experience on this rally, except the puncture, ambulance and spectators it was nice rally. Without the safety issues it would be a really nice rally."

"Every rally was the same, we were fast and winning stages but always had some problems. This time it was my mistake and it was hard to get back. We won this rally in Hungarian championship but Hadik had a great season."
"We did our best, it was full night stage, in some places I was thinking about startegy because we are working on the result all year. I'm really happy, we did good performance and progress in the ERC."
"We are not so happy, but it's OK because we could fight on the rally, we showed the real pace. We will be back stronger."
"It's a good moment, thanks to the TOK Sport and Škoda, it's been amazing. Not easy job, but two championships in a week, it's great."
"In the dark I could have an hard attack, on the fast section I came to sharp three left, bit crazy. Good and difficult rally with warm fans. I'm happy for bringing the MRF car to the finish. We know we have mad a step forward, I'm happy."
"I'm smiling because we reached the finish despite the problems. I'm bit sad after yesterday, but I have to thank to the team, we are here, we are through, thanks to everyone."
SS13
"It was difficult, it's getting more slippery with every run, but it was good for us."
"Tricky stage, some tricky cuts. The progression today has been good."
"We did the stage in the road mode, because the gap is big. We changed the ride height for the final stage."
"This one was a good one, without problems. We didn't risk especially in the final bumpy part, we took it safe."
"It was fine, the lights are good, it's always nice to do some stages in the night, I like it. We took it steady, but it was good."
"Perfect day for us, we are driving really fast all the day. It's good competition, I hope the last stage in night will be good for us."
"We tried our best, especially the last part is with lot of gravel bit dangerous. Good stage for us."

"The time is not so good, but we really enjoyed it."
"Good, the confidence is back, the problem with the car is still there, time by time we run on three cylinders, but thanks to the team I can still push all the time."
SS12

"I'm very happy, flatout."
"We are in good position now, we changed the car a bit but there is still something to do with it."
"The stage was good, we try to push hard. Let's see, now the stages will be in dark."
"Really disappointed with the pucture, we touched something in one left corner, we did almost half of the stage on three wheels."
"Quite good, I think the difference is now quite big. Let's see in the dark."
"It was really fun, I prefer this stage before the previous one, it was wider."

Puncture

"All sorted with the car, the stages are very slippy, this time it was much faster than in the morning. Let's keep pushing."

"It's very good enjoyable day. The stages are very nice, but very slippery. Will will have night loop which will be demanding."
"Not bad, we were bit faster than Andreas. I have more confidence with the car, but still three stages to do. Last ones will be in night so lot of rallying to do."
"Definitely I can say we are happy what we have done. The road is very slippery and it's getting worse because there are some cuts."
"Everyhing is fixed, so we just driving through, not much to do at the moment. Three more stages to go."

"I think it was great, not happy with the delay, but it was a good run."
SS8
"I think this rally is a joke, we had an ambulance in the stage, we had no red flag, no marshalls giving signals. It was funny driving behind the ambualnce, but its driver was not fast enough to win the rally..."
puncture
