"It was okay but I had a lot of mud on the windscreen so had bad visibility for a lot of the stage. The car is a little bit soft but we can not help that." | ||||||

"We tried to push hard but I am not so confident with the rear of the car. Okay, the traction is good but we are sliding too much from the rear. I have to see what I can do for the next stage but Tanak is driving well." | ||||||

"I tried to push very hard. It wasn't easy on the tarmac section with a soft tyre but at the end of it I am happy with my morning and my tyre choice. There is room for more!" | ||||||

"This morning we had more or less equal conditions and we were fast. We have to see how it will be this afternoon - I pushed quite hard but I am still struggling with the rear of the car a little. We will handle it." | ||||||

"Very very tricky stage - there were a lot of ruts so I tried to be as efficient as I could. I am struggling a little bit still with the balance but it was slightly better so I am able to push more." | ||||||

"It has been a good day and the car was working well. That one was very tricky because I had very bad visibility with the sun being very low. I had to concentrate and I think we lost maybe one second at the last hairpin." | ||||||

"I had a good stage. I'm trying to avoid the big cuts and just having a good run. We haven't really improved our time from this morning which shows how much slippier it is." | ||||||

"There's not much you can do when he is pushing because I think the aerodynamics in this sort of stage make a difference, so it will be hard for Dani to fight with him. We are not taking any big risks and I am happy." | ||||||

"We tried to avoid taking any risks for punctures and just had a smooth clean run, continuing to push as Tanak was pushing behind. We are happy with our lead heading into tomorrow. I have done my job so far and my teammates are really trying to resist but obviously Tanak was fast this afternoon - I think he had an aerodynamic advantage on those types of stages. We are going to try and finish the job we started yesterday morning and let's see whether Tanak can claim second or if he stays in third." | ||||||

"I tried to be very efficient but at some point I had so many corrections that I got really confused and had to find the concentration. The car is working well but I have a lot of diff opening through the stages so I was changing diff maps." | ||||||

"It was quite dirty so I didn't take any risks. I was struggling with the brakes as well so I didn't take any risks. If the brakes are working well later then I will push hard." | ||||||
