A very good day on Friday

43. Pierre-Louis Loubet (FRA) / Vincent Landais (FRA) - Skoda Fabia R5
It was nice, I'm happy to have been fighting with him [Petter] all weekend, it was great. Unfortunately we got a puncture yesterday and lost 40 seconds in the morning so taking points for the championship is nice.

55. Petter Solberg (NOR) / Phil Mills (GBR) - Volkswagen Polo R5
Absolutely crazy! Absolutely crazy! Very good race. This has been a very hard race. Thanks to all the family, friends and fans. Fantastic career and it's all over. Let's focus on the young drivers now and help this sport be even bigger in the World.

4. Esapekka Lappi (FIN) / Janne Ferm (FIN) - Citroen C3 WRC
I think our performance was not too bad. Everything is good.

33. Elfyn Evans (GBR) / Scott Martin (GBR) - Ford Fiesta WRC
There's no room for "what if" scenarios in rally anymore. The pace was good all weekend which was good but it would have been nice to have been higher up.

5. Kris Meeke (GBR) / Sebastian Marshall (GBR) - Toyota Yaris WRC
I wanted a bit more this weekend, a podium would have been nice. Our pace on Friday was good, Saturday we fell a little behind. Hopefully Ott can bring it home, that's a nice chunk for the manufacturers as well.

1. Sébastien Ogier (FRA) / Julien Ingrassia (FRA) - Citroen C3 WRC
We are thinking about the championship and still losing ground to Ott. I tried everthing and still losing ground to Ott. We have a big test for Spain this week.

11. Thierry Neuville (BEL) / Nicolas Gilsoul (BEL) - Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC
A good weekend, nice to be back on the podium. The championship fight is still on.

23. Gus Greensmith (GBR) / Elliott Edmondson (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
Not a bad weekend. The car's been good and speeds were ok.

25. Hayden Paddon (NZL) / John Kennard (NZL) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
I think we've achieved what we wanted to and learnt more about the car.

22. Mads Ostberg (NOR) / Torstein Eriksen (NOR) - Citroen C3 R5
We lost a stage win here as we were stuck behind Haydn for 500 metres. We lost a stage win but that's life. We wanted to be fast today and safe and we definitely showed that we are a winning team, I'm glad to see the progress we have made with the car and also with the driving. We are definitely here to win and we showed that. It's a shame with what happened, it should not happen and I was disspointed with that. He was driving in the middle of the road and I couldn't pass, so we lost time.

55. Petter Solberg (NOR) / Phil Mills (GBR) - Volkswagen Polo R5
Absolutely crazy! I've done everything I can. Very clean race, no mistakes, the team has done a great job. I love it, the competition, all the people on the stages. It's been a long career. To have held this level I have to practice and test more. I got faster and faster through the race. A little bit slow this morning but it's been a very hard race. Also thanks to all family and friends and fans around the world and who are here. Let's focus on the young drivers now and help this sport to be even bigger in the world.

43. Pierre-Louis Loubet (FRA) / Vincent Landais (FRA) - Skoda Fabia R5
Great weekend, I'm happy to be fighting Petter Solberg. Unfortunately we got a puncture yesterday.

92. Takamoto Katsuta (JPN) / Daniel Barritt (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
There were very different conditions which is difficult. I'm glad to have finished.

53. Adrien Fourmaux (FRA) / Renaud Jamoul (BEL) - Ford Fiesta R5
Really happy.

49. Marco Bulacia (BOL) / Fabian Cretu (ARG) - Skoda Fabia R5
We are happy. We made some mistakes but we are happy to be in fourth place. We were very competitive. Let's see if we can improve that for Spain.

72. Jan Solans (ESP) / Mauro Barreiro (ESP) - Ford Fiesta R2
It feels amazing to be world champion. I am so happy and so proud of what we have done this year. I want to say thanks to all the people around me they are everything to me, all my family and sponsors - thank you to all. My brother is now everything, he taught me everything I know.

71. Tom Kristensson (SWE) / Henrik Appelskog (SWE) - Ford Fiesta R2
Besides a puncture and been a good season, really happy with the season so far.

77. Sean Johnston (USA) / Alex Kihurani (USA) - Ford Fiesta R2
So we're stoked on our first podium in the JWRC. Four clean stages, Alex did a fantastic job all weekend. I didn't make any big mistakes, only one missed note but I was able to recover it. M Sport put together a fantastic car for us. I am stoked, this has been such a tricky rally. So many new conditions, things I have never experienced before so for me to be here at the end of the rally wothout a scratch on the car is great and to have a podium as well is just the cherry on top.

78. Fabrizio Zaldivar (PRY) / Fernando Mussano (ARG) - Ford Fiesta R2
It was not a bad weekend for us. We almost went off on the last stage. It was really fin to drive and today was a great day.

76. Enrico Oldrati (ITA) / Elia De Guio (ITA) - Ford Fiesta R2
I am quite happy at the end. OK, our times are not the best but the results are great for the championship. We got some important points. I am happy. I get more improvements and let's see for our next race.

80. Ryan Booth (USA) / Rhianon Gelsomino (AUS) - Ford Fiesta R2
We had a couple of mishaps and a character building weekend but overall we ended up on a good note. I'm happy, we'll see if we can make it again next year.

81. Keanna Erickson-Chang (USA) / Niall Burns (IRL) - Ford Fiesta R2
A good day today. Finally getting a good rhythm. A good weekend

75. Tom Williams (GBR) / Phil Hall (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
It was a very tough weekend. Sad as it was our home event. We've had issues with setup all weekend. I've really struggled but at least today we made some really big changes and I was so much more confident. I did a second pass where we were third fastest. So we have confidence at the end of the rally and we're going into the end of the season now.

73. Dennis Rädström (SWE) / Johan Johansson (SWE) - Ford Fiesta R2
A good weekend. Not a good start but we got some important pace for the future and had a nice experience of Wales.

74. Roland Poom (EST) / Ken Jarveoja (EST) - Ford Fiesta R2
Some good stage times today, overall as we had to retire on Friday we hadn't any fight so it was just cruising. Good fun. Slippery stages. Next week we have an R5 rally in Estonia with really similar conditions. Our hands are warm now.

47. Fabio Andolfi (ITA) / Simone Scattolin (ITA) - Skoda Fabia R5
We are happy this weekend. It's not easy for us but we are happy because we finish the race and this race was very hard. I enjoy and thank you Pirelli and Motorsport Italia and my codriver. We have done a good job.

46. Alberto Heller (CHL) / Jose Diaz (ARG) - Ford Fiesta R5 Mkii
Really happy, we made it. A new car and new rally for us. We're from Chile so a long trip for us but we're happy.

41. Benito Guerra (MEX) / Jaime Zapata (MEX) - Skoda Fabia R5 Evo
It was nice, it's really good to be at the end of this very difficult rally. It's not the posistion we want but it's not so bad, we took seven very good points from Loubet and that's good for us for the championship. We will fight in the next events in Spain and Australia and will fight very strong in the next rallies to win the championship.

51. Rhys Yates (GBR) / James Morgan (GBR) - Hyundai NG i20 R5
You've always got to be smiling when you are driving in the WRC. Awesome stages I just never have any good luck on them. I've done this for four years and it's been four tough years. We were trying to show a bit of pace, show a bit of speed.

56. Guillaume De Mevius (BEL) / Martijn Wydaeghe (BEL) - Citroen C3 R5
It is the best day out of the weekend. Good weekend. We learned a lot. Next year!

44. Ole Christian Veiby (NOR) / Jonas Andersson (SWE) - Volkswagen Polo R5
It's a shame what happened on Friday, we could have been up at the top. That's rallying sometimes you just have to analyse this rally and se if we can find a bit more pace for next year. We have to work a bit on the setup and driving style.

45. Kajetan Kajetanowicz (POL) / Maciej Szczepaniak (POL) - Volkswagen Polo R5
When it's slippery in a rally car it's always fun. It's ok today. We did our job.

93. Matt Edwards (GBR) / Mark Glennerster (GBR) - Hyundai NG i20 R5
I've really enjoyed it. Te team have been great to work with and they've put a great car together.

50. Paulo Nobre (BRA) / Gabriel Morales (BRA) - Skoda Fabia R5
Wow! These stages were really, really slippery. The car almost rolled but it was fantastic. Fantastic rally. The special stage are so enjoyable and this is why GB rally is GB rally. I'll be back next year for sure - 100%

102. Josh Cornwell (GBR) / Dai Roberts (GBR) - Peugeot 208 R2
We enjoyed that last one, just struggled to get to the end. The weekend was hard.

97. Eamonn Boland (IRL) / MJ (IRL) - Ford Fiesta R5
We had no trouble really.

103. Diego Dominguez (PRY) / Rogelio Lopez (ESP) - Ford Fiesta R2
We made some mistakes but we are very happy. Happy to be here, hopefully next year will be better for us.

96. Patrick Dejean (FRA) / Lionel Currat (FRA) - Ford Fiesta R5
I'm very happy, it's done! Very happy to be here.

100. Ruairi Bell (GBR) / Darren Garrod (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
It's been a tough weekend but enjoyable at the same time, even though it might not have seemed it at the end of each stage. Disappointment here and there.

104. Edward Lewis (GBR) / Dominic Adams (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
Tough event. We've finished. Obviously the plan was to finish, we had to use more caution than we wanted to.

105. Louise Cook (GBR) / Stefan Davis (GBR) - Ford Fiesta R2
It's been tough. Yesterday I was saying that it was the hardest I'd ever done in WRC. It was so long and really rough and slippy at the end so glad to have got to the finish and see what next year brings.
