WRC - FIESTAS SALVAGE VALUABLE POINTS IN FINLAND

M-Sport Ford World #rally Team's three EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRCs may not have had the pace to challenge for the podium at this weekend's Neste #rally Finland, but the Cumbrian squad did achieve their primary goal of reducing the deficit to their main rivals in all three FIA World #rally Championships.

Team Principal, Malcolm Wilson OBE, said:

"We've not had the speed we wanted this weekend, but we have achieved our main objective and reduced the gap in all three championships. It's frustrating not to have been in the fight at the front, but we have to keep the bigger picture in mind and it's been a positive event in that respect.

"Heading back to asphalt at Rallye Deutschland the goal will be to see the gaps further reduced. The Fiesta won the event last year and Sébastien won last time out on asphalt, so let's see what we can do in three weeks' time."

OGIER AND INGRASSIAFIFTH AT #rally FINLAND

Sébastien Ogier and #julieningrassia may have been hoping to challenge higher up the leader board at this weekend's #rally Finland, but it was still mission accomplished for the five-time World Champions as they took vital points away from their main rivals.

Having arrived in Finland with a 27-point deficit in the driver and co-driver standings, fifth place was enough to see the Frenchmen reduce the gap by six points. Five events remain with 150 points on offer – and the team will be ready to give it their best at Rallye Deutschland.
