| Puncture | ||||||
| "It was a bit on the limit under braking! Nothing really happened, but we had a puncture. That was a big shame, but it's a long rally and hopefully we didn't lose too much there. Let's try to focus on the weekend now." | ||||||

|
| "The stage would be quite nice - it's really fast and flowing - but being first car is horrible. There is so much loose gravel and even on the straights the car is moving a lot." | ||||||

| "I think there is a better clean line, so there was more grip. Some parts were a bit rough, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, quite an okay stage." | ||||||

| "It's still pretty okay in this stage. This one is maybe the hardest base and it was a lot cleaner now. I am quite happy with everything, but I struggled a bit with the car under braking and I am trying to learn the new diff. Other than that, everything is good." | ||||||

| "Overall the first two stages were quite nice, but this was tricky as expected. Everything should be fine with the air filter, but at the beginning I felt I had no power. After the dust and fesh-fesh we had no power at all, but I don't know why I felt like that at the beginning | ||||||

| "It seems that the team has done a good job, so we just have to trust that it will stay like this. We have to be careful too - we can not break the car and they are such conditions." | ||||||

| "I don't know even myself [how we did it]. We were basically off two tomes in the water - we couldn't keep the car in a straight line and I couldn't see anything. I am happy to be here." | ||||||
