"Tulemus on okei, oleks teise segu rehvi pannud oleks endal ka lõbus olnud."
"The car has been working very well, despite the damper issues. But what can you do, it's a technical sport."
"It was quite okay, the first stage was a bit tricky. Second stage was nice and this was also not that bad. Nice beginning!"
"It's pretty comfortable. We did everything we wanted and we're pleased. First days have not been our best in the past."
"I think it was pretty awesome, hopefully we didn't give away too much time here because we took it easy."
"It was good at first, but the tree touch at the end of the first stage knocked the confidence. Of course we will push tomorrow."
"Not our evening. It's a mix of different things.."
"Better than last year! We had a puncture that year, but the goal was to finish today because it's a long day ahead tomorrow."
SS2
"We looked at it closely and the top mount of the damper was loose, we put it back in but it still came out during the stage. These dampers just came from a service and it's a shame."
Broken turbo before the stage
"Really nice stage. I love fast stages. I could do this many times!"
"That was totally crazy! That stage in this car.. you can't describe it! It's absolutely nuts!"
"It's quite cool! Driving at home is something different. Even Craig got scared at one place!"
"We took the wrong tyres, it doesn't work here at all. Clipping a tree last stage knocked our confidence a bit."
"Could have been better. Looks like we can't get any traction these stages. Not easy at all."
"Slippery. Very slippery. Exciting in another way. The chicane was a place where you could slide into a ditch even when stopped."
"It's slippery, yes. The chicane was narrower than it was during recce, but we made it through."
SS1
Stopped at 10km. Broken rear axle.
"It was good. We will see. Feeling is good, let's see what we can do."
"Very fast in the forest, we survived! Have to be cautious."
"Problem with brakes again."
"Something happened mid-stage, we just lost power."
"Roland is slowly driving. We chose wrong tyres, should have taken hards, it went too soft."
"So-so. Small mistakes and the jump broke a damper which threw oil all over our windscreen!"
"Trick stage, we didn't commit as much as we should. All the time we thought we had a rear-right puncture."
"A proper airstrip. No feeling with brakes at fast places. A rather basic start, taking it easy."
"It's awesome. Driving your home rally is very different to the WRC, a really good feeling. The lines in front are really angry-looking."
Off road moment "The steering didn't turn, no idea what happened."
"Not pleased, just not feeling comfortable, losing time in fast places. This rally is mostly to get used to this car."
"It's okay, but it'll clean more. Fun stage."
"Very changing rhythm, couldn't get off the start line properly also, the clutch felt too quick."
