Drivers' quotes after SS23

Sunday, June 14

Car #9 - A. Mikkelsen / O. Floene: Well, it has been a difficult weekend for us. Hopefully we can get some points out of the Power Stage. I am happy with my run in this stage.

Car #14 - R. Kubica / M. Szczepaniak: Weekend with many issues, problems and mistakes. We know where we have to work and that we have to improve. Poland is going to be better. The bad thing is that we lost a lot of kms of experience here.

Car #3 - K. Meeke / P. Nagle: It all went wrong very early unfortunately. Yesterday it was a learning day. Today was just about getting around and collecting some points for the team. I have never been really comfortable in Sardinia but at least we managed to score some manufacturer points.

Car #8 - D. Sordo / M. Marti: We had problems in the first two days. It was not a very positive rally. Now we need to switch the focus to Poland and aim for a better time there.

Car #6 - O. Tanak / R. Molder: The car is really competitive. Next time we will try to push a bit harder. We will try to give it a proper go in Poland.

Car #12 - K. Al Qassimi / C. Patterson: Really difficult. Lots of rocks and surprises on the stages. For sure the second run on the stages is much better. I tried to balance my pace with the conditions, not pushing very hard but we are fairly happy.

Car #2 - JM. Latvala / M. Anttila: Quickest so far? It would be nice to get some points. Perhaps, I was a little bit cautious at the beginning in a couple of places. I really enjoyed this stage.

Car #4 - M. Ostberg / J. Andersson: kay, nice to keep this place, but I'm disappointed to lose third. It's been a very hard rally. A big mistake from me earlier and I'm sorry to the team for that as they worked very hard.

Car #5 - E. Evans / D. Barritt: After a disastrous Friday I was really disappointed and finishing 4th was unthinkable. I wish that the rhythm was different on Friday. But we are still here. Not the performance of the year, certainly, but we some good experience of the whole rally.

Car #7 - T. Neuville / N. Gilsoul: I was not expecting a podium after the problems earlier. Getting manufacturer points was important for the team. The confidence is coming back, we have to get a better feeling and it will be allright.

Car #20 - H. Paddon / J. Kennard: Very very good, very relieved. A major result. We still have a small problem with the car so lucky to get here. A massive thanks to everybody supporting me at home and at the team. I can't have wished for anything more from here. Team has been working so much and they helped me so much. It is a great result. Today it was a matter of getting through which we did.

Car #1 - S. Ogier / J. Ingrassia: I'm very pleased, I didn't expect this kind of result here. The times got better and better but in the car I was driving just the same. It was very difficult to open the road. Everything worked perfectly - from the car to the weather forecasts. Hayden definitely deserved the podium he has done a great job, he has been very consistent.

Car #38 - Y. Protasov / P. Cherepin: Let's wait for Andreucci. If it is a win I will be really happy. For me it is important to drive cleverly in rallies, that is what I tried to do.

Car #48 - P. Andreucci / A. Andreussi: This stage was not good for me but I am really happy. The car is fantastic on the gravel and also Pirellis worked very well.

Car #45 - J. Kopecky / P. Dresler: Well done!! Thanks a lot. It was difficult, first day was difficult then we decided to drive safe as fast as we could.

Car #41 - N. Fuchs / F. Mussano: It was very good rally, even if today it was bad for us. I lost turbo. I lost a minute in this stage but I completed the rally.

Car #44 - A. Kremer / Pirmir Winklhofer: Very difficult weekend, but everything is fine at the moment. We had some troubles, we are happy we are here.
