Loeb ready to ensure

However, everything started well for Sébastien Loeb in Italy. The five-time world champion set the fastest shakedown time on his third run. The Alsatian also recognizes that any performance can be greatly improved from one passage to another: “ The starting position is crucial. The roads are very dry. Between our first and third pass of the shakedown, we improved our time by fifteen seconds. »

And for this sixth event of the season, the Frenchman, already the holder of five victories in five rallies, is hoping for new success. However, Loeb does not hide the fact that he is ready to settle for points for places of honor, with a view to conquering a sixth world crown: “ We will definitely try to achieve another victory. But we also think about the championship. If our position prevents us from playing the leading roles, we can be satisfied with the points of second or third place, that would also be a good operation. » Also, Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena will try, from Friday morning, to test their speed in Sardinia, with the aim of a sixth victory.
