While everyone was waiting for Dani Sordo's first victory in the Rally from Spain, the Spaniard failed to satisfy the expectations of his supporters who came to see him on the side of the Catalan roads. He finished the event on the last step of the podium. After Wales Rally GB, Sébastien's teammate Loeb will no longer have a contract for next season.

Thus, Dani Sordo discussed his future with Olivier Quesnel. But the sporting director of the chevron brand indicated that he did not have the sufficient budget to keep him on his team. In search of sponsors, Sordo also analyzes the various options available to him.

The pilot does not hide having had discussions with the main opposing team. “ I know they (Ford) are looking for a sponsor, but we haven't talked about money », announced the Spanish to theOnda Cero. " We will try to contact a sponsor this week. »

Even if Mini could be another opportunity for Dani Sordo, the Spaniard knows that the manufacturer will not carry out a full season next year, " not doing more than six rallies ". If the Spaniard?s situation is complicated, he is not resentful towards Citroën. “ I can't blame the team for my situation, I should have already won an event. »

Dani Sordo will have another chance to shine at Wales Rally GB. But he will end up in a C4 WRC of the Citroën Junior Team and will not be on his favorite surface.
