Evans Elfyn
- Martin Scott

"It feels good! We perhaps weren't the fastest crew this weekend, but we had really good pace and kept out of trouble and obviously did enough to keep Dani at bay today. It comes at a good time, so I'm happy to take this one.

Sordo Dani
- Rozada Borja

"I am so happy to come back with second place. I was disappointed not to catch Elfyn today, but he was faster, and when you are faster you win. I am very happy to finish, to give some points for the manufacturers' championship, but also to take podium with Borja [Rozada] on our first event."

Ogier Sébastien
- Ingrassia J.

"I always take as maximum as I can, so let's see what Elfyn is doing. No one wants to open the road in Sardinia, but let's see what happens. It hasn't been a very pleasant weekend for us, but from a points point-of-view, it's okay."

#18

Katsuta Takamoto
- Barritt Daniel

"Definitely, I stepped forward compared to before. I enjoyed the rally except from today, but this is part of the game. Let's see, I will try to improve on the next one, and we will see in Sardinia. The team are working very, very hard as always."

#44

Greensmith Gus
- Patterson Chris

"Things look good going forwards. It's been a good weekend, we've had some issues, but in terms of the pace and performance, I am really happy. Let's keep it going."

#16

Fourmaux Adrien
- Jamoul Renaud

"I didn't want to push in this stage and our tyres are also dead. It was a good weekend for me - it was interesting to open the road yesterday, and it was really good learning with the car. I am really happy, the car was good, and I can only say thank you to M-Sport for the opportunity."

Tänak Ott
- Järveoja Martin

"I don't know what is the difference. It was a good feeling to be back on the pace yesterday. It's almost there, but it seems like we need to wait for another time."

#69

Rovanperä Kalle
- Halttunen J.

"I don't have anything good to say about this weekend. It was a difficult one. Yesterday, with the technical issue, all our hopes for the points finish were gone. Of course, on the first loop, I was always driving like my grandma. Well, my grandma would be faster! We have to really get our heads together and start being fast again."

#11

Neuville Thierry
- Wydaeghe M.

"I can't do more. Maybe the car was moving a little too much at some points, but I tried to keep the rhythm. I don't know if it was a good time or if I was over-driving, but It was quite efficient."

#22

Lappi Esapekka
- Ferm Janne

"It was really a strong rally from us and our team did an amazing job. We didn't have any problems with the car and on such a rough rally like this, it's very cool. I am very satisfied."

#24

Suninen Teemu
- Markkula Mikko

"The result is really good. I am happy that we survived and brought the car home, and we can be happy for second position."

#23

Østberg Mads
- Eriksen Torstein

"We never gave up for sure, we were pushing all the way, and we have been experimenting a little bit. We know Sardinia is coming quickly, and we have one week to be at our best. We have made some steps, but we have some thinking to do ahead of next week. It's a shame about the puncture on Friday which didn't allow us to fight, but at least we proved our speed."

#25

Gryazin Nikolay
- Aleksandrov K.

"In some stages, we were are trying to improve but the time is not good, so we still have things to work on. I am quite happy that we finished. In this stage I was in safe mode and not pushing at all."

#30

Solberg Oliver
- Johnston Aaron

"It's been very good fun. A very difficult event, with a lot to take in with the new car on gravel. There has been a lot of work to get better and better, and the pace has been good to show the speed. Today, I have just been taking it easy after intercom problems in the morning. I wanted to save some tyres for this stage, but my rear tyres were gone a long time ago."
