S\u00e9bastien Ogier (leader – Citro\u00ebn C3 WRC)<\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Tell me about your day S\u00e9bastien?
\n<\/strong>It\u2019s been another tricky day, especially the first stage both times through. They were tricky and\u00a0changeable conditions. We needed to stay with the studs \u2013 at least the tyres has been a bit more\u00a0straightforward today. But still I am happy to be here sitting in the middle, even if we didn\u2019t increase the gap much. Tomorrow will be another intense day.<\/p>\n

There are some legendary stages tomorrow \u2013 what do you know about conditions?
\n<\/strong>I don\u2019t know much yet, we will have our gravel crew tomorrow morning. It should be mainly dry, but it\u00a0will be cold icy and frosty on the top \u2013 there will be places to make a difference\u2026 and a mistake! We\u00a0both want to win, everybody wants win Monte Carlo, it\u2019s a magical rally we all enjoy a lot. We have made\u00a0a big difference from the rest and we both want to cross the finish line. Second could be good for the\u00a0championship, but I\u2019m pretty sure Thierry will push to the end and we will do the same.<\/p>\n

If you won tomorrow, you would join Walter Rohrl as a driver winning this event with four\u00a0manufacturers and it would be Citroen\u2019s 100th win \u2013 does that add pressure?
\n<\/strong>Those statistics are very nice, but that\u2019s not what you have in mind when you are driving. Of course\u00a0it would be great to do that, to take six wins in row and seven in Monte Carlo. I always say if I have a bad\u00a0season and I can win only one rally then it would be this one \u2013 this is why I try tomorrow. I will fight\u00a0tomorrow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thierry Neuville (2nd at 4\u20333 – Hyundai i20 WRC)<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Thierry, what\u2019s the plan tomorrow?
\n<\/strong>Obviously first of all we had a great day today, it was really enjoyable in the car and we really tried to\u00a0catch Seb, but it\u2019s always difficult when we are on the same tyres on stages which we know. All in all, it\u2019s\u00a0been a good day. We look forward to tomorrow, the plan is to catch Seb and to keep the pressure, but\u00a0also we must think about the championship. We have to think about this.<\/p>\n

Thinking about the championship, does that mean the little extra risk not there?
\n<\/strong>I always try to drive without risks. Of course there are risks, but I try to be on the safe side. When we\u00a0are in a fight, like in Sardinia last year you try to push a little harder. Tomorrow we have some demanding\u00a0stages, we don\u2019t know about the conditions and we have to do four stages on the same tyres.<\/p>\n

What was the gap going into the final day in Sardinia last year?
\n<\/strong>It was 4.3! No\u2026 it was 2.8 or something. A little bit less.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

S\u00e9bastien Loeb (3rd at 1’58\u20337 – Hyundai i20 WRC)<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Sebastien, you have battled hard today, but you have two drivers chasing you hard for third\u2026
\n<\/strong>Yes, for sure. I was struggling a little bit with my set-up. I couldn\u2019t get the confidence from the\u00a0understeer in the morning, especially with the tricky conditions in the stage. But in the afternoon I was\u00a0able to get my confidence and I could push harder. I have Jari-Matti just two seconds behind and [Ott]\u00a0Tanak closing the gap with every stage, so I don\u2019t know what I will be able to do tomorrow. We are not in\u00a0the fight for the win, but for the podium. I will try to find a good rhythm to stay on the podium.<\/p>\n

And how do you feel physically?
\n<\/strong>I am always motivated, for sure the motivation is a bit different \u2013 I\u2019m not here to win the\u00a0championship, but I am here to help Hyundai take some points. I always want to fight for the victory if I\u00a0can, that\u2019s not the case here. It was a tough month of January with a lot of driving, but I enjoy driving and\u00a0it\u2019s a long time since I was here at the start in Monte Carlo. I always enjoy the incredible atmosphere on\u00a0this rally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
