Now I’ve won the championship for the second time, I think I can say it feels as good as when I did it last time. Some people have said to me that because I’ve won...

I would have liked to win but we could not compete with Marcus.

Everyone was expecting me to win in Corsica, so I had to do something a little different,

It’s completely stupid. They should have stopped the rally there and then. Marcus didn’t even pose the question, he stopped. For me, it was the same.

We will try everything to get another win in Monte Carlo, which is an event I really enjoy.

I didn’t want to get at all involved in the battle with Petter and Marcus because I would have been very annoyed with myself if I’d gone off as a result of me chasing them...

Of course I’m very disappointed to have made the mistake on Friday that dropped us down to eighth overall – especially for the team. I can only blame myself.

With such gaps between the competitors, there isn’t much else to do. We are comfortable and the team says this is how we are going to finish.

I didn’t see anything. I touched a bank of snow so it was a little bit dangerous.

It’s true we’ve been unlucky so far this year but I’m not worried because we’re only five points behind the leader and there are many more rallies to go,

I had the tyre choice right, and I knew what Marcus was on. So I pushed, not too much but enough to push Marcus a little.

We really drove aggressively the first two days but today we let up the pace and drove without taking risks.

Marcus was really untouchable. We lost time on the first day with the penalty and since then it has been really difficult to come back.

This is a sport,

The road is very difficult, very slippery.

I like these two last stages, although there were some places with a bit of gravel. In general the rally is very good, except for two of yesterday stages that were full of gravel and...

My priority will be the championship,

On a hairpin on the first stage, the car went away viciously at the back. I lost control and I was forced to stop by the side of the road.

My main adversary is myself, … I must not take any risks. I must consolidate and make sure I finish the race.

If I feel just as confident in Japan, and if my natural pace enables me to challenge for victory, then I will go for it. If I see that keeping up with the leader –...

I drove carefully this morning but it was a bit too careful… so I decided to go faster.

There was a big stone in the road and bang… I hit it,

To be honest, it didn’t matter if I was first, second or third in this rally — I just wanted to win the championship,
