"Even if you have the best team, with the best resources, sometimes it turns on its head and you don't get what you think you are going to get. So if we use that as a comparison, which we shouldn't do, but if we do, it gives you an idea of what can happen in motorsport and that is where we are at the minute - lots and lots of small things, but we are in the middle of putting them right."
Subaru sporting director, Luis Moya meanwhile predicted recently in a separate interview with
Crash.net Radio that Solberg and Mills could win at all the remaining events this year, with the exception of Germany. Mills agrees with that assessment.
"We know on tarmac it is hard work. Germany is very difficult and we just want to get through that event with a decent finish. But after that - in Finland, we have been very competitive there in the past; Japan we were leading last year when the rock came out; Cyprus and Turkey we have won those rallies before; even in Australia we were leading last year when the kangaroo came out; we have won in New Zealand in the past as well and obviously we have won Rally GB four times - so all the events coming we have won before and so we are very confident," he concluded.
"We have some small changes to the car, new tyres, lots and lots of things to look forward to and yes, certainly we are going to those events to win them - and win them with quite some conviction."
