Info
"Pleased to finish on the podium. My first time here in an R5 car. I'm happy with that."
"Really really good weekend for us. A good result after a difficult season last year. I'm happy about this rally."
"Totally amazing. Someday I want to do the same as Esapekka."
"Amazing. What a rally. I have to say a bit thanks to team, they built such a fast car in a short time. Big respect to them. I have little experience, and I need to get more mileage. Okay, on my home soil I should have been strong here and I was."
"A small mistake on the start. We knew if would be difficult but okay, at the same time we have to be realistic - our first time on the podium!"
"It's been a tough weekend. Friday was far from ideal. Back then we never thought we'd be here, but we kept pushing. Third here is really positive. We needed a good result. Finally the conditions came into our hands."
"Difficult to say anything. The rally was really good, the pace was good - better than any of us expected - and I was in second. Then two mistakes and now we are fourth. Now I feel disappointed but tomorrow the feeling will be better. On my second rally in this car I was fighting for a podium."
"Last year was awesome here, I was on top of the world. Trying times. I have an amazing group of people around me, working their arses off. We just need more. A confidence sapping rally. We all worked so hard, but it all needs to come together."
"I knew there was some cleaning to do for Jari-Matti so definitely I tried a bit. Not perfect [enough] for five points but hopefully something good."
"Yeah, I'm not sure if it will be enough to catch him, let's see what the other guys do. We were aiming to bring back more points to Seb. Even if the pace wasn't there this weekend, I have a great team behind me who are working to improve it."
"I really struggled this weekend. You have to come here with bucket loads of confidence. That quickly unraveled for us. The next one is on tarmac and yeah, we have a bit of work to do."
"I'm looking forward to Germany now. This rally was complicated for us and the team. Now we forget it and try to work on the set up for Germany and to have a victory there."
"It's been a good experience, one of the best rallies I've done this year. I really enjoyed having Torstein next to me. Okay, some bad luck here, and it shouldn't have happened, but I'm glad to be on pace. Now I'm looking forward to the next rally."
"A lot of experience for sure. The aim is the get three cars to the finish."
"One or two places could have been better but otherwise it was the best I could do - maximum, maximum, maximum!"
"In a slow third-gear corner, the car just wouldn't turn. It sort of illustrates the problems we've had this weekend. In the future we'll probably look back on this year and laugh, everything that could go wrong is going wrong."
