Info
"Smoke coming from the car. Maybe it's the turbo! I could smell it..."
"That's a bit close."
"It has been too long coming, but finally we are back. I have to say a big thank you to Jonne and the team. They have been pushing all the time and going forward. I also have to give a good thank you to my very good friend Artu. I have been having a hard time since the end of last year personally, and he has been pushing me to come back."
"I want to say thanks to Craig, because he was with me for the whole rally and pushing me to the limits."
"It was challenging and we have some great weaknesses at the moment which we need to get sorted. It's a big challenge for the next two weeks to get these things done. On the second loop in the rough conditions it's not really working for us."
"We did our best on Friday and Saturday but I did a small mistake with big consequences."
"Of course, after Friday's issue it was not so easy to clean the road but the car was fantastic and the team did a really good job."
"It's been a great weekend really - very consistent and with good speed again. I hope I can win because second place is not really worth it right now."
"I'm still struggling with the feeling in the new car compared to the old one but we are getting there."
"This weekend was not bad for the championship but we need to work on the car - I have no grip when the surface is very loose."
"The rally was super - all really good for us and the pace was on a good level."
"We had some issues over the past three days but this is normal in a very tough rally."
"I think the rally community was a bit broken after the passing of Craig, but I hope there's some sense of happiness with these flags back on these cameras."
"It's one of the most cruel sports in the world and sometimes we have to face situations like this. I want to give a big applause to the organisers, they have done an incredible job, and the spectators as well."
