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.

"This will put us in the mood immediately, it is an undeniable advantage," Sidney Govou saliva. "It can help us to travel to England"
Faced with more than 70,000 people, Lille and Lyon will celebrate 10 years of the walls of Saint-Denis.
"This will be a good test," said midfielder Mathieu Bodmer. "For Lille, eleven 'dogs' on the ground, which did nothing to release the image of the coach, a winner enthusiast. They have great values of solidarity, block. We will have to be at maximum face to them. It's a great rehearsal before going to defy Manchester, and then Bordeaux. "

With perhaps an advantage to play on the ground "neutral", the Stade de France.
"It's an advantage for us because this is not the same context as the Stadium in Lille," reports Mathieu Bodmer.
"And at the Stade de France, there will be a lot more atmosphere and they will not have the same benchmarks. It is better for us, it's undeniable."
For this meeting, Alain Perrin should have at its disposal any group, except Cleber Anderson and Patrick Müller, both injured knee for a long time.

This followed the week's training normally, but admitted this week to be "fair and not yet ready" to play this match and next faces Manchester.

Some investors or buyers? Despite this apparent optimism, Aguri Suzuki is still looking for investors that would boost the smallest budget of F1. "We are in contact with three potential investors," revealed Akita. The Indian Spice Group had planned last month to commit themselves financially while the leaders of Super Aguri were excluded from reselling the stable.
"We could sell 100% of the shares. But it would be ideal for sponsors or investors who would maintain the infrastructure where they are, "says Akita. Without Aguri (Suzuki), the team probably will lose as a supplier to Honda engine. But if investors come with BMW engines is a completely different story.
