"It's been difficult for sure. Just a lot less grip on the ice than I expected. Still, could be worse..." | ||||||

"A difficult day but I really enjoy this stage. Okay, it was difficult with the ice on the top, but we had a laugh on the way down - I love that section." | ||||||

"That's a surprise, but okay, I'll take it. The ice felt really slow again. More fluffy snow - less hard packed - and that suits us better. " | ||||||

"This one was really tricky. Frost under the trees and sunshine changing the situation all the time. We have a cross tyre choice here - so it was interesting in places!" | ||||||

"It was okay but the tyres were moving a lot more, especially at the beginning. Higher temperatures I think. I might have pushed them over the limit." | ||||||

"This is some stage. The time doesn't really matter at this point in the game, but when you get this car on dry tarmac - boy-oh-boy. This is what it's all about." | ||||||

"This was rallying at its cruelest - our snow tyres were in the boot and not in the car! We were like Bambi on ice. Tricky. Okay, on Friday I didn't think the rally would be as good as this - so much was new. Everything has come together so, so quickly." |
