"Quite good but the road is cutting up quite a lot in there. It wasn't a clean run either - four or five small errors."

"It's been good. There's a good atmosphere in the car, I'm enjoying it. A perfect day up to now. Okay, I expect we'll lose a bit of time on the final stage because we don't have the soft tyres. There's still a bit of confusion about the time on the cancelled stage. I'll leave that to the team to resolve."

"Pretty good. Nice and relaxed today. The stage is definitely cleaning. It's an advantage and I'm going to make the most of it."

"A bit of a safer approach. The car is higher, and we're carrying two spare wheels, which affects the balance. This stage was narrow and rough in places. We're taking care."

"Quite tricky. Patches of mud making the grip difficult. I drove a cautious stage but for sure Mikkelsen is on a push. I have time in my pocket so I'll use it."
SS17 Fafe 1 (11.19 km)	6:52.2	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	97.7 km/h 0.27 s/km	3:37:43.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

"An almost perfect weekend - huge thanks to my team. We made the most of the position we were in and I couldn't have done any more. It shows the DS 3 is still a great car. For me too it's another step. I'm really, really excited about 2017!"
