HS:
I think and I hope I can stay where I am.
Q:
Matthew, your team- mate
Gigi Galli was injured in Germany and I believe you and a few other drivers all went to see him in hospital in your underwear! Why did you go in your underwear? How is Gigi doing now?
Matthew Wilson:
Good question! Blame the guy on my right for that one
[Henning Solberg]. It cheered him up a bit. He was in good spirits. Hopefully he can recover and be back as soon as possible. I'd like to keep in touch with Gigi through that. I went through a similar sort of thing and a lot of people helped me through I know how good it be to have people talking to you and keeping you going at times like these.
Q:
How was the recce for you?
MW:
Like Sebastien and Chris have said, there are a few places where they had to add extra gravel. Road position will be important, eighth or ninth on the road can be perfect for us. It's an event I enjoy, if we can get a good start.
Q:
What makes this event special?
MW:
The stages are really enjoyable to drive. The camber helps you to carry the speed. Saturday's stages are really quick. I've enjoyed the event from the first time I did it.
Q:
You are nominated for Manufacturer points for the third time this year. What is the objective for you this weekend?
MW:
I think, obviously, Francois [Duval] is going to take a bit of time to learn the car on gravel, he was quick at shakedown. We want to score points for the team and if we get drivers' points that's a bonus. It's about learning the car more and getting more confidence.
Q:
Who will you be judging your performance against this weekend?
MW:
It's hard to know. On road positions alone, it's hard to know. Until we get the first stage out of the way and see how the feeling is. If we've got the confidence, it's good. As long as we can get a good start, we'll see it should be okay.
