| "First we had a problem with the boot - I don't know if it was open or not because there was so much noise in the car so I struggled to hear the notes, then we hit a rock!" | ||||||

| "We had hard tyres and we lost the front. The front tyre was worn out so when the rain was here at the end I had no chance - it was impossible to drive fast. Very disappointing." | ||||||

| It's been very very difficult. I didn't expect to have things like that. We lost the bumper and hit a rock then got a puncture. When the rain came, the tyres were not the best and we lost a minute there. I think for the sport, it is very exciting at the moment. | ||||||

| "Not a good feeling. My car is too stiff for conditions like this and I struggled with the braking and the turning. I have set my car up for clean roads so it doesn't work here and the dust is difficult in some places." | ||||||

| "I tried to soften the car so it was a bit better. It is difficult because the car is not turning and I have to be very aggressive which is not ideal." | ||||||

| "The grip was slightly better on the middle stage. On the fast stuff the feeling in the car is quite good. In that one I drove like Ari Vatanen! Really aggressive - I don't know if the time was good but at least it was spectacular!" | ||||||

| "My tyres are pretty done so I had to back off a bit here. It was a lot rougher than I thought and we need to survive the last stage of the loop. Unfortunately I was too hard on the tyres and I tried too hard on the long one." | ||||||

| "We kept going. I think the fact is that we have no chance to catch Sordo but you never know if they have a puncture or something, it's good to keep the pressure. We discussed with the team; no risks but keep it going with the rally speed and that's what we are targeting." | ||||||

| "It's been a tough weekend but the main thing is that we finished the rally and we didn't suffer issues. The car was strong but we seemed to be missing some pace and I will hold my hand up and say that I made a mistake with getting the right setup in the test. Wales will be very different." | ||||||
