Martijn Wydaeghe, Thierry Neuville's co-driver: "I am very proud of the team"

What state of mind are you in when this arrives? rally ?
I'm tired, I'm hot, but I'm very, very, very happy. There's a huge satisfaction. It's for us, but also, and above all, for the team. I'm proud of everyone at home.

Is this an impression, or did this success seem to be the result of a lot of preparation on your part, but also on the part of the whole team?
It doesn't date from this rally. We started in Sweden. Knowing that we were going to open the road and that it was going to be very complicated on the gravel rounds, we put in place a strategy adapted to the new points system. This tactic worked very well and I'm happy about it.

You haven't won since Monte Carlo in January. What does a victory mean to you?
From my point of view, it is especially very good for the team, for Hyundai and to motivate everyone who works in the workshop. It's something nice, but it's not the most important thing. The scale means that we can finish 3rd or 4th and still score a lot of points. This year, our goal is to win the title and in this perspective the victories are not necessarily important... even if it still feels good.
