TEAM MANAGER QUOTES

Olivier Quesnel
For us the results are now quite clear for Sebastien and Dani. If things stay the same tomorrow and there is no change, it enables us to have an important advantage over Ford after Finland. For the victory tomorrow, the game was really very tight because both drivers were excellent.
For Sebastien Loeb unfortunately the battle ended because of a puncture. And let´s face it, victory was possible but actually very difficult. Regarding Dani, even if he doesn´t finish on the podium, he has still been driving very well against the Finns on their home ground. The future of Citroen is also assured when one sees the times set by Sebastien Ogier on a stage that was totally new.


Malcolm Wilson
It´s been a perfect day for us, we knew that Mikko was able to keep a winning pace. I am proud of the job both the crews have achieved and also that the work we did just before Finland to optimize the set ups of the cars. They worked perfectly without the slightest mechanical problem and it helped Mikko and Jari-Matti to have full confidence. The rally is not over yet but the gap with Seb allows us to be confident.
