An almost impossible mission, except for a misstep from his two adversaries. What the French pilot does not want. “Mathematically it is possible, but normally it should not happen this weekend, estimates the person concerned. JI don't wish Thierry and Jari-Matti any problems, although of course I would like to win. My main objective is to compete in a good race here, for my team in particular because it is their rally home. »

Fourth of the shakedown played this Wednesday, the Volkswagen driver did not have the best start at the wheel of his Polo R WRC. “I didn't have the best shakedown possible, but the real start is for this Thursday. I tried a few things and had a small technical problem on my last run, but nothing that was insoluble. I am confident for the rally. »

Author of five victories already this season, Sébastien Ogier has already won in Germany in the past. “As with all rallies, you have to do a good job from the start, He says. The fight will be interesting. There is no real secret. » See you this Thursday evening at 17:53 p.m. with the first special, “Blankenheim”, to follow live on AUTOhebdo.fr.
