Muller vs Huff: The duel resumes

Lost in the surroundings of Magdeburg, the Oschersleben circuit has been one of the must-sees of the WTCC since the creation of the championship in 2005. It is in this place where he won the first victory for a car with a diesel engine, the Seat Leon, in 2007, that Yvan Muller will absolutely have to collect more points than Rob Huff to further close the gap separating him from leadership. “ I have obtained different types of results in the past. On my list, in any case, it is not one of my favorite circuits. However, I remain determined to do my best. The track is very technical, one of the most demanding on tires, especially in high heat. Propulsions should be advantaged there. My situation is now better in the championship and I intend to continue this good momentum », Warned the double 2008-2010 world champion.

During the two previous events in Porto, then Donington, there was no shortage of friction with his British teammate. Will the ardor have calmed down when they arrive in Germany on Friday? In any case, Rob Huff remains determined not to give up and not give any gifts. “ Oschersleben is one of my favorite circuits, I love driving here. I have always been good at it and I think the Cruze is also particularly good this year. So I'm looking forward to this round. Many drivers find it very difficult to find the right set-ups. With my engineer, we have always been able to find the right compromise and I hope that this will be the case once again. A good result would be a good thing for the title He concluded.
