Jari-Matti Latvala:
If you look at my times yesterday, we were very fast and I was pushing to the maximum. But we did gain a lot from our good road position yesterday. If I hadn't punctured we could have been first car maybe on Saturday so it is hard to say if I could have stayed in front and won from that position. However, we will never know the answer to that. But at least I had a very good result.
Q:
You won every stage yesterday and your progression up the leaderboard was ruthless. Does that make up for the mistake that you made?
J-ML:
Well, in the last two rallies in Argentina and Jordan I have made mistakes and lost very valuable points. So I did not want to let my team down again after my mistake on the second stage. This was a big boost to my speed and made me go that little bit faster on Saturday.
Q:
We know you are a very focused driver but I hear that in a bid to calm yourself before each day begins you are seeking the help of the team's physio. What does he do and is it helping?
J-ML:
Okay, last year I worked a bit with Christoph Treir, who was Marcus Grönholm's trainer, and he gave me some very good ideas for staying focused. Now our physio gives me the same sort of help. We just try to make my mental state better so I don't make a lot of silly mistakes like last year.
Q:
You have said it's consistency you are aiming to achieve; how can you move towards becoming more consistent?
J-ML:
At least we have now been able to get the speed right. That is now good. But you are always at the limit and when you try to keep that speed against guys like this it is so easy to make a mistake. I think that experience is very important to get consistency, especially on rallies like this one.
Q:
Yesterday you won every single stage, but Jari-Matti told reporters at one of the stage ends that you had told him to not take any more risks, was that true?
Miikka Antilla:
It was because there were a lot of rocks by the side of the road and we had already been very lucky a number of times. So yes, I did tell him not to take any more risks.
Q:
A good result for Citroën, Olivier: Dani Sordo was in second at the end of day one, but he slipped back. Did he have any problems or was it a lack of confidence?
Olivier Quesnel:
I think that Dani doesn't have the same level of experience that Seb has so for him the rally was a bit too difficult so he dropped back a little. But he is getting there.
