[Speaking in the mid-day service] "We have been going quite well this morning and the car is feeling very good after yesterday. I feel more relaxed today and am finding a good feeling and rhythm with car. I’m using my time now to make some changes and get a better feeling on gravel for the next few rallies so we are using the time to concentrate on learning more about the car. It’s going well and we are still looking good for some manufacturer points."
Per-Gunnar Andersson [Suzuki WRT]:
"Today has been really good. I was a little bit steady with my pace after I had made a mistake yesterday - there was no way I wanted to do that again. When I came out of the first stage, I could see that my pace had been much too quick yesterday. I learned a great deal about driving on this surface today. The car has been very good. We had some small issues on the downshift, but that was really a minor transmission thing. I am pleased for the team and for myself that we have been able to come through today with some speed and no trouble. I had to think of today as a new day and forget about what happened yesterday, but it's a real shame - we could have had a good finish here without the problem on day one. Okay, that's the sport sometimes."
