Sébastien Ogier: “I think I did well to continue”

As he headed toward retirement last year, Sébastien Ogier finally decided to return for another season with Toyota.

This final campaign began with the Monte-Carlo, an event dear to the Frenchman where he had already won seven times before the start of the weekend. A little over 72 hours later, Sébastien Ogier has eight to his name, more than any other driver.

« It’s quite a nice way to end this weekend. The car was exceptional, it was really a great pleasure to drive it, he admitted with emotion after signing an eighth scratch in this 2021 edition.

I almost have tears in my eyes and I think I did well to continue for another year. Thanks to everyone in the stable, she was great ».

Sébastien Ogier is starting his last season with Toyota and therefore his career in the best possible way. In the drivers' standings, he created a 9-point lead over his closest rival, Elfyn Evans.
