Sebastien Ogier: The conditions have been so difficult and it has been very easy to make a mistake.
We hit something too hard for the car, we hit a tree and we destroy our radiator and we had to stop.
The stage was tricky with no grip with the hard-compound tyre. There was no pressure on me but I knew I had to take time in the afternoon because tomorrow there will be cleaning. But mistakes can quickly happen.
I just touched the rear of the car on a small bank, I did a spin but during this spin we hit the tree. It was not such a big mistake but it was easy to make a mistake because the conditions were so difficult.

Petter Solberg: I’ve never driven in conditions like this before, it has been unbelievable.
Mikko Hirvonen: The conditions were hell and I’m just happy to be here tonight. This was one of the most difficult days I have had in my career.

Khalid Al Qassimi: I really had to adapt and drive very safely with plenty of caution.
