Here you are at Le Mans, we feel real happiness among the drivers. You confirm ?
We are all impatient to return to this event which is legendary, magical. We are happy to leave with a new car, the R15. The R10 won everything here, but we wanted to leave with a new challenge. We want to show that for the first year of the R15, we can win against Peugeot .
The last victory of a Frenchman dates back ten years, with Yannick Dalmas. Are you one of the potential successors?
There are many French people in the running to win these 24 Hours. First there are the Peugeot drivers, there are the two of us at Audi, Romain and me. We want to be next on this list. We have the ability to do it, we have the car for it, we will try to do it.
What do you think of this circuit?
I love this circuit because we are always at high speed. I love high speed corners. It's a circuit where you always have to anticipate, especially in traffic. Then there is a section that I like, these are the turns Porsche : they are very narrow and, at the slightest mistake, you are out.
Your start to the season DTM is complicated. Le Mans, is this your oxygen bubble?
Le Mans is something completely different. In DTM, the start of the season was really disappointing. We had technical problems, problems in qualifying. In the race, it could have gone well, were we as fast as the others? I didn?t have any luck at the start of the year with Audi, I hope to have a lot of luck at the 24 Hours.
