| "It's the same as the first one, you have to keep in the line, and I'm struggling to get the front end in. We will make some set-up changes to help the confidence." | ||||||

| "This last section is very tricky, with more snow. There's a bit of a line, but its a bit like tobogganing - push too hard, get out of the line and you're in trouble." | ||||||

| "The first half was really, really good and I could drive exactly how I wanted. The road is cleaning and we have to make the most of that. I struggled more in the last five kilometres." | ||||||

| "The road position is helping us. It's always the same for me in Sweden, I struggle on the first pass on Friday and get better on the second. One stage to go and then a big push tomorrow." | ||||||

| "Okay, fair play they've done a good stage. Maybe I was too cautious. Nothing to worry about, we can push on in the next one. Our set up works better on the repeated stages." | ||||||

| "I felt we lost a lot in here. The car is set-up too aggressively for this stage. I like that set-up and it will be better for the afternoon loop. We have to be patient." | ||||||

| "Annoying. A small mistake, I just stalled it and it wouldn't restart. It is what it is. Plenty of positive to take away anyway. We're not in championship contention this year. We can be positive going forward." | ||||||
