"I'm really happy with the speed I've shown in Italy and Greece - but in Greece I learned that I need to find a way to drive fast when road conditions are good, but when it is rougher I need to back off but remain fully competitive," he explained.
"Maybe if I am not able to attack as much as in Italy and Greece, because my experience isn't high, possibly that will help. If I'm not attacking as hard, it might help me have a clean run through the stages.
"A podium is my target however and I won't be disappointed if I'm not able to fight for the victory."

Solberg out to up the speed with new car.
Petter Solberg is feeling 'very excited' ahead of the Rally of Turkey, what will be only his second competitive outing with the all-new Impreza WRC2008.
Petter took a fantastic second place finish in Greece two weeks ago, his first podium of the season and now is keen to try and push a little more with the new car and once again get a good result.
'Hollywood' has done well in Turkey in the past and while an off in the penultimate test on day two cost him second in 2006 - the last time the event was apart of the World Rally Championship - he was on the podium in 2004 and 2005.
"I'm looking forward to going back to Turkey as the stages have suited us well in the past," he noted. "We were fast there in the old car, and we've shown what the new car can do in Greece, so I'm very excited to see what we can do again, to keep pushing and for the results to start coming.
"I have a good feeling with the new car, so if we can get the whole package working with the roads there, it could be very good. There's more to come from the car, so I'll drive my best with no mistakes and see if we can be a little bit quicker than in Greece."
