Q:
Jari-Matti, the second win of your career, a great event for you after what has been a very tough start to the season, you must be thrilled…

Jari-Matti Latvala:
Yes. It's an unbelievable feeling what I am having now. It's been so tough and difficult, a lot of things have happened. I have done a lot of mistakes. I have to say a big thanks to team. The team has had no doubts, even if other people did. I got the small things together this weekend. The secret was consistency and a little bit of luck with starting position this morning. Great feeling.

Q:
In Argentina you were told it was caution all the way; here it has been a total contrast. How have you dealt with that?

J-ML:
I had a lot of pressure on me in Argentina after the accident. On the other hand we didn't feel so much pressure, Malcolm told me to finish and get back on the right track. That was a very important lesson one. We started here with a good position, but when I was a bit more confident on the afternoon of Friday, the team felt it is now time to try and work for the victory and they sent the message saying: “Push, push.” I asked my co-driver: “Do we really go flat out?” He said: “Yes! Keep going!”

Q:
You were first on the road on Saturday and today – normally it's a disadvantage but today with the dust is was an advantage!

J-ML:
There was only a bit of dust from the zero car at the end of the stage. It didn't distract me. That was my advantage for being first on the road. I know how hard it was for these guys. But yesterday, I was also first on the road. It wasn't the easiest job, but when you start to like it, it's nice. It's nice when you have the clean road with no lines or stones.

Q:
How much has your performance here now boosted your confidence and self belief?

J-ML:
This was a big lesson for me. We need this consistency for the future. We spoke with Mikko, when both of us are there we can put more pressure on Citroën. When I go off the road, I load more pressure to him and we can't fight Loeb. We need to work together to get the pressure to them.

Q:
When you got out of the car, you kissed the bonnet. Tell us about the relief.

J-ML:
It was a big relief. The pressure I have had is unbelievably high. Petter, he told me on the road section in Argentina: “Jari, take it steady, you will get back there.” And I really did. It was a fair point from Petter.

Petter Solberg:
I have heard the same from Malcolm, you needed some help.

J-ML:
I heard it from Malcolm as well. People have told me you have to be steady. One of the reasons for my mistake is from pushing too hard all of the time.

Q:
Miikka, we know that Jari-Matti has been easily 'distracted' of late – how did you keep him fully focused this weekend?

Malcolm Wilson:
Tell him about the big stick, Miikka!

Miikka Anttila:
Actually, we have a big weapon in the car: a golf club, stick or knife under my seat. It's different each morning so he doesn't know what is coming. No, just joking! This rally is good for Jari-Matti, it's easy for him to concentrate here and do a good result. From the start of the rally, there was no pressure. Okay, Malcolm said you have a good starting position, you will probably lead after the first three stages then let's look after the afternoon stages. In the evening, we were leading by 40 seconds. That was a small surprise. But when we were driving back to service that night, we talked and we thought we could win this rally because of the back-up behind us.

Q:
Mikko – its second position again! Hanging dust spoiled the party this morning but it's a great result for the team!

Mikko Hirvonen:
