| "Clearly I wasn't tidy enough. Struggling with the differential in there, pushing like crazy. Maybe I was using the handbrake too much too." | ||||||

| "I touched one of the anticut devices early on, that was lively we should say. She's not wanting to go in the direction we want her to." | ||||||
| SS3 Tukums 1 (27.56 km) | 14:31.7 | 15.

|
| "The car feels absolutely terrible, it is impossible to keep the rear in the line, every entry it snaps. We'll see if we can work on it. I've always done pretty well in Finland so we're using this as a warm up, but it is tricky." | ||||||
| SS4 Andumi (17.86 km) | 9:49.6 | 15.
5. class RC2 15. WRC |
109.1 km/h 2.08 s/km |

5. class RC2 15. WRC |
|
| "To be honest it felt like the car felt better but the time is further away, so it is what it is. I had one overshoot on a chicane which maybe cost me a couple of seconds but nothing major." | ||||||
| SS5 Milzkalne 2 (4.99 km) | 2:39.6 | 15.
5. class RC2 15. WRC |

5. class RC2 15. WRC |
|
| "The car is just all over the place. I was almost off on the first proper left-hander so, pretty close." | ||||||
| SS6 Tukums 2 (27.56 km) | 14:19.2 | 15.
5. class RC2 15. WRC |
115.5 km/h 1.88 s/km |
51:55.3 | 14.
4. class RC2 14. WRC |
|
| "It's quite a hard base, maybe expected the edge of the road to break away a little bit more like shakedown. We made a small change and had the car stable up a bit more, but plenty of work to do." | ||||||
| SS7 Strazde (17.44 km) | 8:59.2 | 15.
5. class RC2 15. WRC |
116.4 km/h 2.12 s/km |

| "Rubbish. This time it was inside the car, pace notes weren't good in there." | ||||||
| SS8 Talsi (20.52 km) | 12:12.2 | 14.
4. class RC2 14. WRC |
100.9 km/h 2.04 s/km |

|
| "If everything was right we'd make an immediate step, but it is about getting the confidence back. I can see Michael Chen over there. He's famous, you know?" | ||||||

|
| "At the end there was a lot more grip and I didn't use it. The pace notes were better towards the end. The car feels good, the grip feels better, but in the end the pace notes could've been a bit better." | ||||||
| SS10 Snēpele (17.52 km) | 8:52.5 | 13.

|
| "That felt like one of the best of the rally so far, I was thinking it would be a lot more closer than that. It's getting rutted, I think the bigger problem for the guys behind is where the road has fallen on the exit of junctions." | ||||||
| SS11 Īvande (23.04 km) | 12:11.8 | 15.

| "Everything is a moment. Today is moment it feels like. I'm trying to make improvements, but she does what she wants. We're going to have to try something else." | ||||||

|
| "I tried at service to work on something with my driving, maybe I went too far the other way and didn't use the grip enough. There was a lot, for sure." | ||||||

| "It felt like the best stage of the rally for me and the time isn't great. I've spent my entire rally doing homework and none of it makes sense!" | ||||||

| "The vibes are nice, I brought the understeer so it was lovely. A beautiful way to end the day. The scenery is nicer than the roundabout." | ||||||

|
| "Car was better in there, we gave away the time with some bad brakings but other than that it's fine. For me, the grip wasn't so bad. It's going to be rutted on the second pass and the edges of the road are dropping away." | ||||||
| SS19 Krogzemji 2 (18.70 km) | 9:50.6 | 16.

| "We definitely finished better than we started. We're not quite where we want to be at the minute but we have a busy week ahead with testing for Finland. I'm going to have to put a stint in for the rest of the season." | ||||||
