INFORMATION ABOUT SS 24
retired (39 - Kruuda Karl / Järveoja Martin): accident in SS 24
flash info (7 - Meeke Kris / Nagle Paul): A little bit crazy to be honest. This is the home of rally and Ouninpohja is the holy grail of stages. To win it how we did - incredible. I've been enjoying it like a little kid - playing and having fun. We always knew the DS 3 was good here. It's been a team effort in the car too - Paul's done an incredible job. What a result. I might had a beer tonight.
flash info (2 - Latvala Jari-Matti / Anttila Miikka): I'm a bit disappointed overall. I was hoping I could win. I was trying here but I couldn't find the best driving. That's the way it is sometimes.
flash info (8 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): I can't believe it. It's the best day of my life. It's been such a road to get here. I'm missing my main man Gareth Roberts and I know he's looking down on me.
flash info (3 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas): I tried my best. A very tight fight with Paddon. We've both been struggling with settings and grip. Our performance was right there - we did our best.
flash info (4 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): So many mistakes. I was trying hard but we ran wide in places. A challenging weekend and the result is not so bad. I've enjoyed the battle with Thierry.
flash info (5 - Østberg Mads / Fløene Ola): I've been fighting really hard all weekend. Many great stages. I really enjoyed the fighting. A shame we couldn't do more and had to settle for sixth.
flash info (9 - Mikkelsen Andreas / Jæger Anders): A good weekend but I can't be satisfied to finish seventh. I'm happy with this drive on the Power stage. Let's see.
flash info (20 - Abbring Kevin / Marshall Sebastian): Happy to be here. We didn't make any mistakes and a big thanks for the team. It was a great chance for me to drive here, but at such short notice in some ways it was the worst gift! I will be quicker next time.
flash info (1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): I don't think it's enough. I had a good run but the road was still too slippery. I'm looking forward to Germany now. After six months without a win we'll try to start in a good way.
flash info (14 - Al Qassimi Khalid / Patterson Chris): I was just cruising in this stage, it's very exciting for our team. A great team effort.
flash info (35 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): I feel very good. A perfect weekend. A shame for Pontus.
flash info (32 - Suninen Teemu / Markkula Mikko): Not a nice feeling when we passed his car - and I hope they are ok - but it feels good to win the fight. Second is good points for my championship.
retired (33 - Tidemand Pontus / Andersson Jonas): accident in SS 24
