"We had a good start, I think. I tried to make the tyres work as good as possible but I had to be really careful."

"I'm happy with my pace on this stage! We decided to push, so let's see how it compares. It was very tricky, honestly, the grip was changing everywhere. A proper Monte-Carlo stage!"

"At the end, I think the soft tyre would have been better. It's okay - compared with the first stage we can be happy."

"The feeling is okay, I just need to understand how the tyres are working. Two spins today - tomorrow will be even more about learning."

"I don't know - there is some strange noise in the car. It's like nothing I have heard before. In this stage I was not driving very well, but the one before I had a good feeling. It's strange, we'll try and fix it for tomorrow."

"I was surprised how good the feeling was with the pace notes and everything. The gravel crew is doing a good job so we have to continue like this."

"My engine stopped two times on the start line and there was only a few seconds to go! I had a clean stage apart from that."

"It was very difficult at the start with a lot of icy sections. We were stopped before the stage for so long that we started with zero grip and it took quite a long time for us to get some heat in during the stage to get any feeling."

"I was quite cautious again in this stage. Let's have a look at it tonight, I'm sure the team will be able to sort something out."
