"Everything is more than great - now I just need to hold the horses!" he says. "I just try to get a good rhythm tomorrow. That's the most important thing."
SS2 Röjden 1 (18.47 km)	9:41.9	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	114.3 km/h 0.25 s/km	11:16.0	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"The car is very good to drive, the balance is good, but on the long long straight over the jumps I lost confidence, like I did at shakedown. I need to sort it out."
SS3 Hof-Finnskog 1 (21.26 km)	10:10.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	125.3 km/h 0.03 s/km	21:26.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Very fast sections in there - 200kph for some time. Good conditions though, a proper winter rally stage."
SS4 Svullrya 1 (24.88 km)	12:52.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	116.0 km/h	34:19.2	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"A very nice stage, perfect, a nice feeling. I couldn't get such a feeling here last year because we had a broken driveshaft. The car feels good now - we have stiffened the front suspension."
SS5 Röjden 2 (18.47 km)	9:33.4	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	116.0 km/h 0.42 s/km	43:52.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Very tricky in the lines, the snow since the earlier pass has made it very slippery."
SS6 Hof-Finnskog 2 (21.26 km)	10:08.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	125.7 km/h 0.11 s/km	54:01.3	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"You have ruts but its very difficult to keep the rear in them," he explains. "You have to be very, very precise. I feel quite good with the car. I think the drivers behind will benefit from a wider line - we'll see."
SS7 Svullrya 2 (24.88 km)	13:21.9	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	111.7 km/h 0.72 s/km	1:07:23.2	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Not a good stage for me. I tried too hard. The condition were difficult and the line was very narrow. I made mistakes and ran wide in places. I will lose a lot of time here."
SS8 Torsby 1 (16.43 km)	9:29.6	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	103.8 km/h 0.29 s/km	1:16:52.8	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Very slippery - no snow banks and an ice layer. I tried to be clean but the tyres were worn and I couldn't be neat and precise - I had to go sideways instead."
2. leg
SS9 Knon 1 (31.60 km)	13:51.8	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	136.8 km/h 0.20 s/km	1:30:44.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"A lot of time on the rev limiter here but a bit too careful. I didn't have that attack mode."
SS10 Hagfors 1 (15.87 km)	8:05.7	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	117.6 km/h 0.17 s/km	1:38:50.3	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"He's doing really well - he's fighting hard. Let's see, I must focus."
SS11 Vargåsen 1 (14.27 km)	8:24.1	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	101.9 km/h 0.24 s/km	1:47:14.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"A really nice run, I couldn't do better but I made a mistake taking two spares this morning. I'm carrying too much weight at the back and that slows me in the long corners."
SS12 Knon 2 (31.60 km)	cancelled
SS13 Hagfors 2 (15.87 km)	7:50.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	121.3 km/h	1:55:05.3	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I'm happy about that. A good stage, but the downhill section was very difficult on the loose now - I thought I had a puncture."
SS14 Vargåsen 2 (14.27 km)	8:19.2	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	102.9 km/h 0.82 s/km	2:03:24.5	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"The tyres were maybe too worn I couldn't get the feeling. Also Kris Meeke was off the road and I had to slow down."
SS15 SSS Karlstad 2 (1.90 km)	1:34.8	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	72.2 km/h 0.47 s/km	2:04:59.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"I am amazed. I have a very good feeling, the car felt amazing me and Miikka are relaxed - it all came together. Last night I had a good chat with Tommi Makinen, he told me to go out there and focus on the driving, to forget about the set up, just go and drive."
SS17 Likenäs 2 (21.19 km)	11:06.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	114.5 km/h	2:27:12.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It was a good stage again. I really enjoyed it. The best stage on the rally. A really nice ice layer with nice grip. Now we just need to go and stay cool on the last stage and try and enjoy it."
SS18 Torsby 2[Power Stage] (16.43 km)	8:51.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	111.4 km/h	2:36:03.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's amazing! A new team, a new car, our second rally and we've won. I have no words to describe it - I'm so emotional. I drove my best Power Stage EVER with the Toyota Yaris. We are at a good level - now we go forward and it gets more difficult. The championship is interesting. Mexico is next and we have to work hard but I'm very motivated to keep the fight on!"
