Was the last participation of Sébastien Ogier au Rally Monte Carlo? Nothing is certain yet, but the Gapençais opened the door a few moments after signing his 10th victory, setting the bar a little higher in the history of the Monaco classic.

On a partial program since 2022 and obtaining his 8th world title in 2021, the Tricolore is inevitably getting closer to retirement little by little. While he will blow out his 42nd candle next December, the driver Toyota could indeed be living his last moments in WRC.

There is no word yet on whether or not Sébastien Ogier will hang up his helmet at the end of the year, but the man himself seems to be starting to think about the possibility. This was suggested by his few words this Sunday when celebrating his 10th Monte-Carlo, because it is difficult to see him continuing part-time without the rally that made him legendary. is not in his program.

« I don't know where to start, what weekend. I think my lucky star accompanied me this weekend, told the winner of the day at the finish. It was my uncle, who we lost a year ago. I'm sure he brought me everything, this victory is for him. I had a lot of hot moments this weekend… like I said, my lucky star was there. I don't know what that means, but for me it's the world. I don't know if it's my last [Monte Carlo] Now. This would be a good time to stop! " This is a statement that will arouse the curious.

Hats off to you, Monte Carlo Master! And if Ogier is a little fed up, why not put his helmet away after this tenth and monumental victory or at the end of this 2025 campaign... even if other forty-somethings continue in F1!

Well done to Sébastien for his podium, a big well done to Rossel and Fourmaux.
