Driver / co-driver: Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia (
Citroen C2 Super 1600).
Press conference.
Q:
It’s your first event in the Junior World Rally Championship and you have certainly impressed with your pace. Did you think you would win on your debut rally?
Sebastien Ogier:
No. This is a good weekend for me. Before I attend the rally I was interested to see where I could finish. After the first stage I was surprised. l enjoyed the weekend. It was very good.
Q:
Did you experience any problems this weekend? How tough were the stages?
SO:
No. just a puncture on the first stage and after that the Citroën was very good and my co-driver too. I would also like to thank my team, all the team at PH Sport.
Q:
What do you think about the other drivers in the JWRC; who do you think will be your main rivals now?
SO:
I don’t know, we will see. This weekend, Prokop, Sandell and some others had problems so it is far too early to say. We made a good start on the first day. After the second day, we didn’t push. I stayed in the centre of the road and did not take any risks. It paid off.
Q:
You led from the opening stage, how much pressure did you feel from the drivers behind?
SO:
The main objective for me was to cross the finish line. The first day I tried to push and take no maximum risks. After the first day I led by one minute and after that I knew I could take it slowly.
