"Just the ice - I was careful. We are here, so that's important."

"It's really nice to drive in the dark. This stage was really tricky and it was very slippery in some parts. I think today will be very long so we need to stay focussed."

"Overall I'm happy. I lost concentration when I caught Loubet but that's okay - a tricky stage."

"In these conditions it's so difficult to calculate the speed in the corners. At the beginning of the stage the visibility was really low and we slowed down a lot, then after that we drove really bad."

"It's going quite nicely. I made one small error on a hairpin, but other than that it was good. It was a really difficult stage - it didn't look so bad but it was really tricky."

"It was okay. Obviously I had a different tyre choice, but I wasn't able to take the maximum from it. The road is very dirty and I could have done more, but we are progressing."

"It's very changeable. The gravel crew did a pretty good job - I felt I was going too slowly in some places but then too quick in others . A difficult one."

"The conditions are much different than to the recce. We had to trust the gravel crew - we were definitely a bit too safe, but we'll see."
