| "Some work to do on the set-up to be perfect but it's not bad and a good start to the rally for us. Try to get a good felling and, for sure, I was pushing a bit more in this one than I did in the first." | ||||||

| "I had a bad start, I was too cautious. Too slippy maybe. I didn't want to take too many risks as this is a stage for punctures. No need to push really and I try to drive clean." | ||||||
