"Things are working quite well. We pushed on the stage before but I wasn't entirely comfortable here so I brought it back a bit. There's little margin for error so we wanted to drive carefully."

"A slow puncture in the long stage, then on this one we went wide in a corner near the end - I got a bit lost in the notes - and picked up a rear puncture."

"It's nothing major, a few niggling things that have knocked my confidence. There's something strange at the rear and we're getting a lot of oversteer. I had a spin in the last one at slow speed on the power - I'm just not comfortable. A frustrating afternoon."
Can you keep Neuville behind to win tomorrow? "Of course I can. I didn't come here and do all this for second. If he wants it, he's going to have to bloody fight me for it."

"I feel gutted to lose by such a fine margin. It's hard to take at the minute but I know we can come back stronger. I did a slight mistake here, I hit a bridge halfway through, that was probably the difference. After such a big lead on Friday - I need to learn from this."
