Wales Rally GB was tough for Toyota Gazoo Racing team. We had tested and created new setup for suspension, it turned out that it\u2019s not going to work at the muddy and wet gravel roads. We didn\u2019t have traction or side grip. We were far behind others compared to previous gravel rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should never give up, so that\u2019s why I decided to go for a fight. Unless I was dropped quite far behind from the podium during the saturday. But in the evening there were fog and we were driving at the dark, so I made attack and I was able to make fastest stage time with quite big margin. I rised up to the fourth place and I was still able to fight for the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On sunday morning our target was clear: reach the podium place. Unfortunately car wasn\u2019t in a good shape, simply it wasn\u2019t behaving well \u2013 it was under and over steering all the time on those muddy roads. That\u2019s why I wasn\u2019t able to catch Sebastien Ogier, instead Andreas Mikkelsen was able to reduce the gap and finally I dropped down to the fifth place. Finally Andreas Mikkelsen was on the fourth position, Ogier third and with that position he secured his WRC title. Thierry Neuville was second and Welhman Elvfyn Evans took his first WRC event victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
