"We are still discovering. A really nice opening stage - it's good to see the crowds again because the last three years have been not so nice. Hopefully it will be a great fight this weekend." | ||||||

"The dust is manageable and we didn't lose too much with it. The conditions were more rough than I expected but we will keep going. It's cleaning so much that a soft tyre was the only choice." | ||||||

"On the previous one I was saving the tyres a bit. We should have done better in there, but it was hard to know with the tyre wear." | ||||||

"Really rough. I was very cautious at the beginning because we have a lot of deep ruts and I don't want to damage the tyres." | ||||||

"We could have been in the fight for the lead, but we got hit again with technical issues. It's frustrating - I can not do more than I am doing and we are always missing points at the end of the year, mainly due to small technical issues." | ||||||

"It felt good. Obviously I have one hard tyre on the car which is not optimal for this stage, but I had a very good stage." | ||||||

"It was okay. The rear was moving a bit - I tried to put a very bad soft tyre on the front to keep the good soft tyres for the next stage. The long one will be interesting and it will be a real challenge." | ||||||

"We had a very good stage to be honest. The car was working fine, but it's getting more and more loose and sandy. I enjoyed the run and I think we did the maximum we could do." | ||||||

"The last five kilometres it was raining and it got more heavy. The road wasn't too badly affected, but the visibility was very bad. We are here." | ||||||

"All okay, tricky conditions - rain, no rain. In the end it was okay, with the hard tyres it was quite abrasive in there." | ||||||

"The rain and the dust was hanging, but I had a very smooth and clean drive. The car was working fine and I made some changes before the stage. I always stayed in the clean line and that pays at the end." | ||||||

"It was like driving on ice and we have two hard tyres so it wasn't easy. I enjoyed this one because it is slow and you can't do anything wrong, it's just about precision. A frustrating weekend so far, but we'll see what happens tomorrow and maybe we can push for a podium." | ||||||

"I didn't have such a good run in there. I was too early in the brakes and probably a bit too cautious, but it's just the beginning of the day." | ||||||

"In the first stage we lost the front splitter, so I am losing a bit of the aerodynamics in the fast sections. We are here and we continue to push - it's not easy, but anything can happen." | ||||||

"I gave it everything, but I had no aerodynamics and I had a couple of moments where I lost the car. I think we can congratulate Toyota for their strong result this weekend and for their reliability. It was also great to see the old cars and drivers back this weekend - they have done a great job and every rally should be like this." |
