Info
“Honestly I am just happy. It’s for my friend, I don’t know very well the guy but he helped me a lot during the DS3 R5 during 2017 and it’s for him. The engineer for Craig was Thomas and my engineer is Thomas, it’s for him, my team and for my family. It’s good news.”
“It feels so insignificant now again really, that’s the bottom line. Obviously we’ve been working to this for a long time but it’s surprising how little it means just at the moment. Obviously we’re back to missing our friend now after the real focus of the weekend. Straight away when you come across the finish line that’s all you can think about. We promised the family we would enjoy the weekend, we’ve done that. I’m sure they were following us. We definitely thinking of you.”
“Result-wise it’s a lot for sure. For sure are missing a lot of consistency and quite a lot of performance as well. No speed really but again good points so hopefully the speed will follow at some moment.”
“I don’t know where to start to be honest, big thanks to the team. I am sure it was not easy to come here for most of us. Thank you that you came, you give us the opportunity to drive again. I know it was tough, it’s been really tough, the toughest week ever I guess. We kept our head together. With a smart drive we managed to be on the podium which is very important for me and for the team this week. Thanks.”
“I didn’t leave much either. It was quite tricky. I was imagining that we cannot really match his pace because even on the second pass the road is getting all the time dirty. I was having a good run and I couldn’t do much more. Difficult weekend, not the best start. I need to prepare better from the car side, we cannot start with the wrong set-up like this. But thanks to the team we got some points at the end.”
“It was a very difficult Power Stage, the car was undrivable for me. I had massive understeer and I’m glad I finished it because it was one of the messiest stages I’ve ever done. For sure a lot of things to go through from a sporting point of view, we had the pace for much better this weekend but it was not our weekend.”
"Nice to finish this rally. We had quite a bad run in the past two events so it's good to finish. The car was amazing and we had a very good feeling yesterday and today. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Elfyn [Evans]."
“I think we can take some positive about this race, unfortunately today the thing this morning with the engine and after that the direction after I hit something inside. It’s like that, we did some good things. I think we just need a bit more consistency and I think the pace is here sometimes. We just need to work. For sure it’s been an incredible weekend after what happened to Craig. Thinking a lot of him and I hope he has enjoyed the show this weekend.”
“To be honest I don’t know what to say, I’m so disappointed for the team, for us after all what happened. It’s a tough moment you know, we really wanted that victory, we wanted to make Craig proud for everything. We missed the opportunity unfortunately. We always have to give more than 100 per cent and when you are on the limit you cannot avoid such mistakes and it’s very tough. We gave it everything in here and this one was for Craig, hopefully it’s enough.”
“A good result after all the adventures which we had on this rally. This stage was fun, maybe I tried in some places too much and in a few cuts we just jumped so high. I was expecting the puncture because it was really horrible but it’s all good. This one is a really demanding stage. Unfortunately the time is not what I wanted to have, it’s a really difficult stage.”
“That’s good points, I’m sure after Friday I was not expecting to be third in the points so we can be really happy about that. Good job, honestly, the team and for Reeta this is victory in itself. We tried to enjoy it, we fought until the end. Actually on this stage the intercom didn’t work so Reeta was screaming quite loud and we don’t need an intercom it seems, she can do without. It was not easy but a good result nevertheless.”
“I think with the soft tyre towards the end it’s floating a lot and he [Lindholm] has two hards so hopefully he doesn’t gain too much at the end. I tried anyway but for sure it was very tricky conditions and a very tricky stage.”
“Honestly, I’m really, really happy about the performance of the car this weekend. We were struggling a bit at the beginning but unfortunately we had quite a difficult test on the wet but then we improved the car and it was much better for the last two days. Honestly we can be really happy, we had a really strong performance and it’s also good for me to drive at that pace on Tarmac because I know it was a bit difficult last year on Tarmac so it’s really positive and we take the fourth position, it’s good, perfect.”
“It’s quite tricky, I tried to give it a push but when you don’t know exactly where is the gravel and where is the mud it makes it quite interesting.”
