Car 1. OGIER/INGRASSIA
“With this position I could not go faster. I did everything I could.”
Car 2. EVANS/BARRITT
“It was well overdue. We have not had a great start to the year. Hopefully this is a sign of more positive things to come.”
Car 3. SUNINEN/MARKKULA
“The feeling is so great. First podium ever in WRC. It took nearly one year but I am so happy.”
Car 4. MIKKELSEN/JAEGER-SYNNEVAAG
“It’s not the weekend we hoped for. I was able to push and get the stage time. The team has made a lot of effort to get the car suited for me.”
Car 5. NEUVILLE/GILSOUL
“We had a clever approach all weekend and the team was behind me pushing me all weekend. I think we can be proud of what we achieved. I think it was important to be consistent to the end. I had two spare wheels and I tried to go for it and it worked very well.”
Car 7. LATVALA/ANTTILA
“It’s going to be okay but I think the fastest time will be (6min) 39 or 38 and there is this surface gravel and I had to open it. If I can get two points or one point I will be happy.”
Car 9. LAPPI/FERM
“It’s been a great two days to be honest I have never pushed so hard. It has been a learning curve to drive on the limit for one and a half days. It is not an easy job. I did not do any mistakes, nor Janne (Ferm).”
Car 11. BREEN/MARTIN
“Not so good. I take pleasure. When you open the road as a World Champion it is nice. We will look forward to Sardinia now.”
Car 12. ØSTBERG/ERIKSEN
“It was a good stage. I saved it all day. It is a long time since I did a rally at this level and I was not sure if I could fight with these guys. I am sorry to the fans for a small jump. It was too important for the team that I got to the finish.”
Car 16. SORDO/DEL BARRIO
“I have a problem with the screen. I could not see in some corners. A lot of people here support me. I am disappointed not to be on the podium but I did it for the people.”
