Info
"To win here is a big surprise for us - more or less the same like it was in Finland. We didn't expect it from anywhere basically, but somehow we were able to pull it together during the rally. It's great to see some results are coming but there is so much we can improve and we could still be a lot stronger, so there is still some work to do."
"You're never really pleased with second. I think overall it was a solid weekend. That puncture on Friday probably cost a few seconds but overall it was a strong weekend and the car has been good."
"We are trying our best to deliver results and I believe we have been a bit unlucky a few times this year. Now things are coming together. We were not the fastest in this rally but we didn't make any mistakes, and that paid off big time."
"It was a long time since our last win in WRC2. I am so proud of what we achieved this weekend and I want to thank the whole team. It was tricky to come back to WRC2 and this victory is for them."
"With our zero scores from earlier in the year, we knew we needed to score maximum points here and in Greece. But still, second place is still not so bad and it's still possible. Stéphane's pace was very difficult to match and he did a great rally."
"The feeling is not bad. I searched for good settings all the time and it was not easy because the roads here are completely different. For the championship this result is not bad and that's the most important thing."
"It's been an amazing weekend. We're hopefully back in the lead of the [WRC2] Junior championship now, so full attack in Greece!"
"It was a tough weekend definitely and it was not easy on such difficult roads. I didn't have a good tarmac rally last time in Croatia and after Finland it's been a very tough couple of weeks. It's nice to finally have something."
"I must be happy because we survived this weekend and it was a tough weekend for us. Big thanks to the team - of course some things were happening but everything was working well."
"I think for everyone we just need to get on the flight, go home and have a few days to ourselves and then we can get together next week and go again. We just need to keep going until it comes right, and it does come right - that's the thing. It does come right."
"Unfortunately I had some transmission issue - the gears were jumping from second to fourth and I had to downshift many times. It was good to see the speed was there and the car was somehow working quite okay. Not where we want to be, but it's going in the right direction and that's positive. Unfortunately we couldn't get the result we wanted but we had some fun for the spectators."
"It felt pretty fast anyway. It was not easy to step up the pace after what happening, but at least we tried."
"We've got a small technical issue that we've carried since the last one. A bit of a disaster really and nobody is happy. For everybody inside the team and the fans it's not so much fun at the moment, but we're all trying our best."
