Q:
How are you feeling now that the first win has come Jarmo?

Jarmo Lehtinen:
There is a relief now. I suppose we should have had a win in Sweden and Argentina, but this feels really good.

Q:
Second position overall, it's been a great weekend for you here in Jordan Dani. Are you happy with the result?

Dani Sordo:
The second place is not bad. First is better, but I try all the time. Mikko is fast. I think in some stages there was a lot of gravel. I am happy of course. It is important to take points for the team.

Q:
You have spent the past two days sweeping the road clear, how difficult has that been?

DS:
Of course I clean the road. It is important for the team to learn to go fast when the roads are in this condition. On the second lap there was some gravel on the top - Super 1600 cars do not always take the same line as WRC cars.

Q:
How much were you pushing today?

DS:
The times in the first stages were good, they were fast. But in the second stage (loop) the times were not bad at all. Then I pushed in the long stage. After the second lap I lost a lot of time on the last long stage. I make a mistake 2 kilometres after the start and that cost me time.

Q:
With Sebastien's (Loeb) problems yesterday, how much pressure did you feel to make sure you picked up good points for the team?

DS:
Of course, but I had my race. It is important to take some points for the team.

Q:
It was a great performance yesterday and today considering you were first on the road. What was the team's advice this morning?
