The Rally Sweden leader comments the victory:
Latvala: "It is amazing. Four years ago I won this rally and now I got it again.
The first time I won this rally I became the youngest ever winner of a world championship rally and beat my hero Henri Toivonen's record. It's fantastic to win it again. We got a lot of pressure after Monte and I felt the pressure coming to this event. This has taken a lot of pressure out of the coming events. I think we're really going to challenge Citroen. We're working very hard."
Hirvonen: "It's not too bad. I think we learned a lot this weekend. Okay, I really did want to win this rally for the team but Jari-Matti was very strong this weekend. We had a fantastic fight and I really enjoyed it, but it's second this time."
Ostberg: "Third place this time is like second place last time, it's a very good result. I was not able to fight Jari-Matti and Mikko this year. There's only one posiiton left on the podium [first] and we'll try to get that next year."

It is very interesting to say that the both Ford drivers hit the same rock that follows punctures for Latvala and Solberg.
