#11 Thierry NEUVILLE / Martijn WYDAEGHE

“I’m very happy to win after such a weekend and also very happy to increase our lead in the Championship, which is obviously our main target for this year. I couldn't expect so many points and the victory here, but we knew we needed a decent approach. We were well prepared for rough conditions, the car was working quite well. Another ‘1-2-3’, so we are working in the right direction. In Manufacturer’s Championship we increased our lead, however nothing is done yet, we need to be focused and concentrated .”

#17 Sébastien OGIER / Vincent LANDAIS

“I don't know if it’s frustration or disappointment or just a weekend where things didn't work out. We ended up making a mistake in the last stage, before that we were having a misfortune with the turbo on Friday, then I ended up taking risks all weekend to try to recover as many points as I could. Unfortunately I had a puncture at the Wolf Stage and I didn't react enough on the next brakes to anticipate the fact that I had a flat tyre. I couldn't brake and went off the road. In the end I take responsibility for these mistakes and life goes on.”

#8 Ott TÄNAK / Martin JÄRVEOJA

“I expected that there would be plenty of drama here, it was obviously drama in the past as well, but it was quite a lottery this weekend. It’s a big shame that we were not able to handle it. It’s frustrating, but anyway it was a very strong result for the team, to bring ‘1-2-3’ home is definitely a great feeling.”

#33 Elfyn EVANS / Scott MARTIN

“Hugely disappointing, it was difficult after Friday’s issues to fight back. Some moments were not so bad, but as a whole it was a pretty low weekend. I would have liked to be better than we were today. I need to try to get back in the next rounds.”

#16 Adrien FOURMAUX / Alexandre CORIA

“It was my best start of the season. Of course I was disappointed with what happened on Friday. I never give up. When I want something very much I try harder. And I will keep that attitude.”

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA / Aaron JOHNSTON

“Disappointing weekend for us. The beginning was great, the car felt great, but I made a small mistake. There are many mistakes this year. I am disappointed with myself. I need to step back a little bit. When I have a good feeling, I try too much. I need to step back. I have to think about taking smaller steps.”

#6 Daniel SORDO / Cándido CARRERA

“I was happy with our speed and the result. It’s important that I help my team. Sure I have the motivation. We are here to fight for victories and try to win.”

#19 Jourdan SERDERIDIS / Frédéric MICLOTTE

“A lot of things were happening at the end. Like Ogier. We managed to finish 15th and it’s my best result in the Acropolis Rally. I am very happy. And also I would like to congratulate Panagiotis Roustemis. He did a perfect Rally and deserves the result.”
