"It's like it should always be - such great crowds and atmosphere. Congratulations to the organisers for putting this in place for us and for all the spectators who came today. It shows that it's possible to bring huge crowds to the WRC and we should look to do more on other events as well." | ||||||

"I don't know about the time, but I did what I could. The handling was completely different here compared to the other stages - it was a different profile. For this kind of stage I need to work on the chassis." | ||||||

"I am not comparing my times with Rovanperä. I am looking at the guys behind who are in a close position. It wasn't great to be honest - I struggled with the balance and I had quite a bit of understeer." | ||||||

"I had a good stage. Carrying two spare wheels was a bit of a handicap in there, but it will be interesting to see the tyre wear now. Hopefully this strategy pays off and we had a clean run." | ||||||

"I am surprised. We had a good clean run this morning and I think the tyre choice was good as well but I struggled a bit with the balance at the rear and I had to adapt a bit. It's good that we can extend a lead on a loop like this - it gives us confidence for the afternoon, but there is still a long way to go." | ||||||

"It has been a tough season so far and to get the victory after a very difficult weekend in Belgium is a relief. The most important thing is we have a 1-2-3 for the team - after all these years we finally got it and it's a historical moment for the brand and the team. Everybody has worked hard for this and it's a nice reward." |
