On the podium – Rally Mexico!
- I am absolutely mega-happy right now, I’ve been controlling this the whole weekend. I were not afraid to be first on the road on Saturday, even though I knew I were going to loose half a second per kilometer. It were my choice, and I knew I could still be top three, which were the main target for the weekend. There will be some strategic thinking before Jordan, but I must say this looks good for the rest of the season!
An amazing weekend is finished her in Mexico, with the Petter Solberg World Rally Team on the podium. It was a thriller to the final end, but Petter and Phil just got the second place in front of Sebastien Ogier who ended third. Sebastien Loeb won the event.

I say frank, as a result of in Sweden, I didn’t even think that you get the podium in Mexico.
But you were the fastest on the Day 1. It will be many rallies since your having taken the top last. I was excited after a long absence.
Unfortunately you lowered position on the Day 2, but continued still fighting till the last to Ogier. As a result, you took the second place at the last stage.I was relieved by it very much.
Next round, Jordan. Good luck and have a nice rally.
