Sordo: “A victory is missing”

Dani Sordo, fifth in the Rally of Great Britain, has unofficially ended its collaboration with Citroën on a mixed note. Never in the fight for the podium this weekend, the Spaniard ended the weekend with a scratch, his last with Citroën. “ The car was really good. We felt confident here. But the Rally was very difficult. Last year it was a little drier and a little more fun to drive the car. This year, the stages were very slippery with little grip »

Now, another career begins for Dani Sordo, “left free” by Citroën. “ I've been driving with Citroën for a long time. We did great things together », he commented, while Sébastien Loeb et Sébastien Ogier will be the spearheads of the French team in 2011. “ There were a lot of good times. There were more than bad moments. I have to say thank you for giving me this opportunity. Working for four years for a magnificent team allowed me to learn a lot. You can't buy experience, it's very important. I am very happy with what I did. »

If he regrets not having imposed himself behind the wheel of the C4 WRC, Dani Sordo is already thinking about the future. “ Is it true, a victory is missing? But hey, sometimes you have to take a step back to come back a little stronger. » Indeed, the Spaniard could return to the WRC next season with Mini, who called on Kris Meeke but who wishes to secure the services of a driver experienced in the World Cup. “ I have contacts but, for the moment, there is nothing concrete », he adds, even if advanced discussions with Mini-Prodrive could lead him to reach an agreement soon.
