A perfect weekend! Each victory tastes special, but this one is unique for many reasons… The first one –and not the least– is that we have many Portuguese among the team. They are the most passionate people and they work incredibly hard to make sure we can drive in optimal conditions. They gave us a […]
Coming back to Argentina after winning here last year was something unique. I can’t think of any other country with such a passion for rallying. If you ever get the chance to come to a WRC round overseas, this is the place to go! But let’s focus on the race, shall we? From the very […]
Tight schedule here in Corsica, I’ll keep it short this time, I hope you’ll forgive me This really is a special rally for us. It is where Thierry and I drove our second rally together, and it is also the place of our first international victory. As soon as you land on this island, you […]
Where do I start? Rally Mexico is always a massive challenge for the crews… and the cars! The conditions due to the altitude that we face here are almost impossible to recreate during our test sessions in Spain, and the cars are really put under strain. If Thierry perfectly managed to limit our time loss […]
A year after a pile of tyres ruined our hopes, Thierry and I won Rally Sweden after a rather incredible race. We are only the third “non-Nordic” crew to achieve this! It’s been snowing a lot here in Sweden, from the first to the last day, making the roads even more tricky. To win here, you need […]
New season, new hopes, new ambitions. As every year, the championship kicks off in Monaco. I’ve always loved Monte, it’s a massive challenge for the teams and quite possibly the most mythical rally in the world. Over here, the smallest mistake can cost you the win… and unfortunately this is what happened to us. We lost […]
Hi everybody, What a feeling! Ending up the season with a victory is such a great thing… and winning here in Australia on these tracks that seem to have been created for rally cars makes it even better. We were determined to go for another good result after our podium in Wales, and the least we […]
What a rally! The tracks through the Welsh forests are quite simply magic… fast and slippery, and if you add to that the tyipical ‘Rally GB’ conditions -Mud, rain, fog- you simply get one of the most exciting events of the year. Despite a little ‘glitch’ and a 10 seconds penalty on the first day, […]
Hello everybody! So, I’m not going to beat about the bush… Some rallies are great and some aren’t: 2017 Rally Germany definitely belongs to the second category. Things had started well, though, and after a great and very tricky Super Stage and a Dantean weather in the vineyards on Friday, we were in third position […]
For the first time in my life, I’m writing to you as the leader of the World Rally Championship! It’s been far from easy… and there’s still much to do, but it is quite a pleasant feeling! Finland is like the Mecca of the WRC. Here, everybody talks about rally, thinks about rally and breathes […]
