Press conference.
Q:
FIA Junior World Rally Champion 2008 – how does that sound?
Sebastien Ogier:
I am very happy. It's a perfect moment in the perfect place. We are in France and I have a lot of fans and family here. The perfect moment.
Q:
You have won the Championship on home soil, in front of your family and friends; what did it feel like when you crossed the finish line?
SO:
Yeah, for sure, tonight we will have a big party with everybody. All of the week they have supported us and it's always good to have a lot of support.
Q:
You were driving for safety this weekend, how difficult was that?
SO:
No for sure it was a difficult weekend. After my mistake in Spain I come here with a little bit of pressure and what can I say, we always lead the Championship so I just say I need to finish. I know I am fast when I want. Here I want no problem and no puncture. I got that. I want to thank the French Federation and Citroën for getting me here.
Q:
Today has been a particularly difficult day on the stages, you were battling with Campana today. Did you increase your pace on the final day?
SO:
No, not really. He had the problem with the tyre. We went slowly today because there is a big gap. I try to stay concentrated and I stay in a good rhythm. I stay concentrated.
