Midday quotes Rally Sweden, section four

Ott Tänak (3rd) said:

"Now that we're not opening the road the grip levels are a lot more consistent and we can just go out there and enjoy. The stages have been really nice and we've had a really positive morning. At this rally you need to be perfect, and so far we have had a really clean run and got the job done.

"There's less than 10 seconds up to Jari-Matti [Latvala] but at Rally Sweden that is still quite a big gap. We'll just continue to enjoy our rally and have fun with our driving and see where we are at the end of the day."

Sébastien Ogier (4th) said:

"Today has been much more enjoyable for sure. There is still a lot of loose snow out there so it's difficult to maintain a battle with the guys behind [in the running order], but it's certainly better than yesterday. We don't have the optimum grip, but there's still a long way to go so we'll keep pushing."
