Press conference.
Q:
Dani, the Spanish drivers get a lot of support here. What does it feel like coming to Corona Rally Mexico? Is the support for you similar to that which you receive in Spain?
Daniel Sordo:
I think it is better. All the people speak the same language. It is nice. It is also a nice rally to be a driver.
Q:
Seb had an engine problem this morning. Do you know what it was and are you concerned for your car?
DS:
No the problems for me finished in Monte-Carlo. It was okay in the shakedown this morning. We changed some small things on the suspension. It was really good.
Q:
Let’s talk about your pace in Sweden; from someone who didn’t have a huge experience on snow and ice you were putting in some great times. Were you surprised at your pace and has it given you more confidence for the future?
DS:
In Sweden I drove very well. On the first stages I had no confidence then it got better and better. My start position was not easy, but the performance was better and better. I will try to drive faster here as well.
Q:
Citroen currently lies in fourth position in the Manufacturers’ Championship. How much pressure do you feel to pick up a good result here in Mexico?
DS:
It is very important that we take a good position for Citroen for the Manufacturers’ Championship because, at the moment, after Monte and Sweden, we are not in a good position. Here it is important for Seb and I to push and take top points. I will also try to finish.
