| "I want to improve on last year so it's podium at a minimum. I was aggresive on this stage, it might not have worked but at least I tried. I'm third fastest so it's bad!" | ||||||

| It's not easy. It's not easy. We can improve, I'm struggling but I don't know why to be honest. Let's see what we can do for this afternoon, maybe I will take two spares, it could be a good choice. | ||||||

| "Good, good. We weren't able to match on the previous stages, I was driving on the edge of the grip. I made some changes to the suspension and it feels good. I saw Ott and it looks like some smoke is coming from the bonnet." | ||||||

| "Yeah unfortunately, I'm just on his tail - I haven't got past. We have to be satisfied with our performance and it is a tough competition at this level. I think Tommi will let us fight but we need to keep in mind the manufacturers points." | ||||||
