Driver / co-driver: Andreas Aigner and Klaus Wicha (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo).
Press conference.
Q:
Andreas, this is becoming a regular occurrence – your third win of the season – three in a row, something that I believe has only been done once before by Toshi Arai.
Andreas Aigner:
We are in really strong position now. But Jari [Ketomaa] has done two rallies less than me. We will have to see in Finland and Japan how he does. Thirty points is really good. In New Zealand, I must try be more careful. Maybe fourth or fifth place is good for me.
Q:
You have shown great consistency this season…
AA:
We did a good job. The car is so strong. On these rough rallies, you need the car to be strong. All of the team did a very good job.
Q:
When we spoke on Friday you said a win wasn't your priority, but it does mean now that you have a good lead in the Championship, doesn't it?
AA:
I tried to be careful from the start. We see we're on the pace. On Friday we say: “Okay, Patrik (Sandell) is quite close, we see if we can push.” But it's difficult, you have to be careful between pushing and making mistakes. It's been very good though.
Q:
What about the rallies to come, it's looking good, Klaus?
Klaus Wicha:
We have to wait for Finland. Ketomaa is very strong there. It will be a key rally for us in New Zealand. From my point this Championship's not over.
Q:
Did you have any problems?
