| "The feeling [at the rear] is a bit better but my pace notes were a bit too fast in places here - I lost confidence and slowed a little near the end. Compared to the old cars these are so are much faster." | ||||||

| "A lot of deep cuts in here. I hit something very hard on the front-right and afterwards I took it easy. Okay, I lost a bit of time, but the conditions are getting worse I think." | ||||||

| "A really good stage to be honest, but the grip was completely gone - it felt like I had no studs. Jari-Matti had the advantage earlier but I tried to benefit from the cleaner line this afternoon. The car is going well, better and better." | ||||||
