"The aim of this rally is simple: we must react…" Olivier Quesnel, the new boss of Citroen Sport, does not veil the face. After two events, his team is far from done at the top of the world championship 2008.
Winner at Monte Carlo, but the fault in Sweden, Sebastien Loeb makes six points to Finns Mikko Hirvonen, twice second in the colours Ford, while the mark to shape occupies an unusual place in the fourth builders, eleven lengths l 'blue oval.
"There is no danger to the industry, however, tempers Olivier Quesnel. Fourth perhaps, but just one point and Stobart Subaru, the team Satellite Ford. We pay the problem of reliability of the C4 by Dani Sordo in Monte Carlo, but it has been resolved. As for the exit road from Seb in Sweden, the rally… say that two cars on the podium Sunday, we could discuss later with serenity. At least things are they simple for this weekend: we must attack. "
With a benefit related to the classification, today on the first step, since Sebastien Loeb will not open the road. "I will try to enjoy it," he says.

And then, after a fault, I always some pressure at the start of the next… "
Pressing that Mikko Hirvonen must also suffer. In addition Sebastien Loeb, Marcus Grönholm successor as leader Ford must also contend with Jari-Matti Latvala, his teammate and countryman, winner in Sweden and likely outsider this season. "His revelation could complicate the task we later builders," admits Olivier Quesnel, but on the other hand, this rivalry at Ford can make the game of Seb… "
