"Perfect rally, the new car is great. Times were getting better."
"Difficult weekend, we knew that there would be better drivers, it's like that. This rally is very difficult, maybe the most difficult tarmac rally I have ever done. If we go to Barum, it will be difficult also."
"We learned a lot, but we are not happy with the results. Before the rally we wanted to be on the junior podium, but we are the last ones. But we know where is the problem. Now we will prepare everything for the Barum rally."

"Perfect weekend, I had so much fun driving the Škoda on these stages, we had a great time with Stefan in the car."
"We are really happy, it was difficult weekend. We had no test before the race, so it wasn't easy. Now we will see if we go to Barum or not."

"We cought Emma in the stage and she rolled 30 meters in front of us four times."

"Good work today, very nice fight with the Subaru guys. I can't push harder."
"In one left corner I went off."
"We didn't spin this time, I'm quite happy. It's quite dirty now, I have to be concetrated on braking, the car can easily get nervous."
"From the middle of the stage we had no brakes."
"The stage was good, time was better. We enjoy it, the car is super."
"Everything is OK, I like this rally."
"Everything is good for us, the car is perfect."

"I'm improving now. The car is better now, it was a disaster in the morning. I'm learning a lot here. Difficult to drive here for the first time."
"The second loop was better, but wothout correct pacenotes it's impossible to get faster. Over the night we have to check the recce onboards and correct the pacenotes."

"It's like that when you do 20 kilometers on tarmac without electrical powersteering."
"For the moment it's difficult for us. We try to push, but the stages are very narrow and fast. The second loop was much worse with the grip."
"It's OK now, on this stage I lost my concentration I was driving too slow. And in the last chicane I made a spin."
"Very difficult stages, we were on medium tyres so the car was moving around."

"I need to start again the rally. We changed many things and the car is better now. I need to get used to it, but it's better."
"It was better for sure, but with only 30 minutes service you can not change everything. We need to improve more."
"Now it was much better than the last run, I'm getting some comfort behind the wheel. Still long way to go."
"OK, we did one small mistake and slide little bit too much, but the rest of the stage was perfect."
"We have a lot of fun, I hope it will be like that all the weekend."
"We had a spin on the junction, we had to reverse. We lost maybe 15 seconds there."
