"It felt better than the first one. I'm getting more used to the car. It's hard to have the confidence when it's all new. We had a water temperature alarm for much of the stage - which was a distraction." | ||||||

"We have an advantage of the road with the snow, but it's still really, really slippery. Untidy, but it's the same for everybody. We saw Kris. He's parked up at a junction but we couldn't see what was wrong." | ||||||

"This stage helped us a bit more than the previous one. It was good for us. Okay, Ogier isn't really the target for us now, we want to build a buffer ahead of the guys behind." | ||||||

"I was expecting more but Seb's obviously pushing. We were never going to catch him on speed alone and the conditions didn't come to us on this stage. We're trying to keep it smooth and steady and look after our tyres a bit too." | ||||||

"It's all about maintaining my position now. Okay, we started this stage trailing Ogier by 10 sec, but that's like being a minute behind any other driver. We need to be smart. We struggled a bit in here. We used our studs in the stage before." | ||||||
