FD:
It was a good final day. On the last day I went really quickly. I managed to put some pressure on Marcus for Sebastien and he gained some extra points [as a result to close the gap a bit more in the drivers’ championship]. The result was really nice for me, for
Citroen and for Seb.
Crash.net:
Did you have any problems with the cow on the last stage, like Marcus and Petter Solberg?
FD:
No, I drove all of the last stage flat-out. I didn’t have the splits to Marcus - no information on him - and I pushed all the way to the finish.
Crash.net:
Was it tough to get back in the Xsara after such a long break from it?
FD:
No, the confidence came back quickly.
Crash.net:
How important was it to put in a good drive in Germany?
FD:
I like this event. It is my favourite event.
Crash.net:
Did you feel under a lot of pressure to deliver though?
FD:
No, there was no pressure at all because I was driving for a private team.
Crash.net:
You said at the start of this interview and in the post-event press conference that you now hope to do Spain, France and Rally GB with Kronos. Can you give us any more information?
FD:
No, there isn’t any more information at the moment - but if we do secure the budget then I will drive with Citroen and the Kronos team again.
