| "I'm really happy. We've been strong in the last couple of rallies. Our main goal was to catch points on Ogier and we've done two events in a row. Closing up the gap is a good achievement. He's still the man to beat. For the last five rallies we've had to battle until the very last part of event stage. It was really, really tough. Here I was happy to finish the last stage a bit more relaxed with a bigger margin. The end of the championship will be really interesting and tough." | ||||||
