"I was surprised that the grip was still that good. I expected it to be a bit more slippy. I hope to catch back the time on the next stage." | ||||||

"Fastest but that is not enough. We were expecting more. It is okay, we tried. It was maybe a little bit risky, but with the information I had I thought it was going to be the right choice." | ||||||

"It was okay. Not so nice towards the end but it was driveable. I tried to do a clean stage and see if we can catch some time." | ||||||

"It went okay. But I have a rear tyre which was very worn at the beginning. Nothing must be left of it now." | ||||||

"I was too fast, with this tyre I just turned and the car wouldn't turn. I lost around 15sec. We could have been 17 or 18 faster and for the next stages he definitely has the better tyre choice." | ||||||
SS7 Roussieux - Laborel 2 (24.05 km) | 14:51.3 | 5.

"The mistake cost us all the time in the previous stage. I tried my best in this one and with the tyres I had it was a pretty good time I think." | ||||||

"Honestly, we had a good tyre choice, but with the mistake I lost 19sec to Ogier and the gap could have been bigger. It was full confidence on this stage, the notes from the gravel crew have been really good." | ||||||

"I was maybe a little bit careful, it was quite tricky - I tried to keep a good rhythm and keep the car on the road." | ||||||
SS10 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 1 (16.87 km) | 10:18.7 | 3.

2. class RC1 2. WRC |
|
"Maybe not the best tyre choice, I was on two soft when I should have been on super soft, it was very slippery. It was a good run, but as I say - wrong tyre choice." | ||||||
SS11 Agnières-en-Dévoluy - Corps 2 (29.82 km) | 20:01.4 | 3.
3. class RC1 3. WRC |
89.4 km/h 0.23 s/km |

2. class RC1 2. WRC |
|
"Difficult to know what is the best rhythm but I kept going towards the end, maybe a bit too much movement in the car but I try to be smooth and efficient. I could do more, but it could be risky. Seb is at home here, he knows the stages. Sometimes I need to be careful." | ||||||
SS12 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 2 (16.87 km) | 9:54.5 | 4.

"On this one I was pretty much on the limit except on the ice where I took it a bit steady. I had a good stage and I couldn't do any more." | ||||||

"Very tricky to drive, the tyres were overheating quite early. Sliding a bit too much and not enough speed in some of the corners." | ||||||
SS14 La Cabanette - Col de Braus 1 (13.58 km) | 9:53.1 | 2.
2. class RC1 2. WRC |
82.4 km/h 0.05 s/km |

2. class RC1 2. WRC |
|
"Big battle. I was not happy with my driving in here because I had to play too much with the engine mappings because of the ice, and I lost the brakes also. Not a clean run." | ||||||
SS15 La Bollène-Vésubie - Peïra-Cava 2 (18.41 km) | 11:25.5 | 1.

2. class RC1 2. WRC |
|
"I had a very good stage, a very good stage. Especially towards the end I think I was really on it, the car felt really nice so I could push to the maximum. I don't know how much of the tyres are left, but I still have enough for the next stage to try and push for the win." | ||||||
SS16 La Cabanette - Col de Braus 2[Power Stage] (13.58 km) | 9:43.0 | 3.

"It was a close fight, but we gave him a nice present on Friday when we made a mistake and gave him the lead. It was still a good weekend and we won't be first on the road for Sweden. We can take the positives from this and look forward to the next round." |
