Guy Wilks (1st in JWRC after SS9):
"The conditions today were absolutely dreadful, but the main thing was not to let that get to you - it's the same for everyone. My plan was to drive at a comfortable pace and stay out of trouble. Thankfully we managed to stick to that all day and we had no real dramas. However, Kris Meeke's Citroen was not far behind us for most of the day, so we could not relax. Now he's had a problem so the pressure is slightly off. I'm happy with our pace and very pleased with the car, which has been fast and reliable. Tomorrow, I'm going to stay at the same rhythm."

P-G Andersson (7th in JWRC after SS9):
"These have probably been the most tricky conditions I have ever driven in. In the morning, on SS3, we ran wide and bounced off a rock face. There was a bit of bodywork damage but more seriously it bent a steering arm. It took more time to fix in service than we expected, so we also collected 50 seconds of road penalties. That was OK, but I made a mistake on SS6 and picked up a puncture after I clipped the side of a bridge. We lost about two minutes, so my aim now is to climb back to a podium place by the end of the rally."

Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima, team principal:
"We've had some exceptionally bad conditions at the start of this event that nobody could have predicted. Despite this, our car and our drivers have stood up to the challenge extremely well. Guy has been a model of speed and consistency, demonstrating that he can drive with his head as well as his right foot. Unfortunately P-G has made a couple of mistakes, but this is easy to do. The weather is likely to remain unpredictable for the rest of the rally, so we must be careful…"
