| "Not perfect to be honest. Playing it safe. The car was not nice to drive, so many bumps and the car is very high, it gets very stiff. It's okay." | ||||||

| "I don't know, it was in the beginning on the straight. Can't say anything.. there's rocks everywhere! It's Africa! In an R5 it's not easy with these tyres." | ||||||

| Stopped on the junction to the last straight. Changing a puncture. | ||||||
| "What the hell can you do? Crazy high pressures. You take it easy in the rocky section and you still get a slow puncture. Without WRC tyres it's no fun. From now on it's flat out." | ||||||

| "It's okay. Rocks everywhere, so a bit about luck when it comes to the tyres. At the moment I had a little bit of luck! For sure the target is the championship so I need to be clever, there's a chance for a podium. Gus is doing a good job and he is pushing, tyres will be a gamble." | ||||||
