WRC - DAMAGE LIMITATION AT RALLYE DEUTSCHLAND
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
M-Sport Ford World #rally Team's EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta #wrc had the potential to deliver a double podium at this weekend's ADAC Rallye Deutschland, but it wasn't to be – #sebastienogier denied a chance of victory and Elfyn Evans missing out on the fight for the podium positions.Yet despite the disappointment, the performance of the top-specification Fiesta shone through –Ogier salvaging valuable points with fourth place and a win in the Power Stage, and #teemusuninen delivering a highly impressive drive to fifth place on his maiden outing with a world #rally car on asphalt.
The Fiesta's performance also went unrewarded further down the field – Éric Camilli retiring his EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta R5 from the lead of the #wrc 2 category yesterday afternoon, and Jean-Baptiste Franceschi having to retire his one-litre EcoBoost Ford Fiesta R2 from the lead of the RC4 class before the event's final stage.
Team Principal, Malcolm Wilson OBE, said:
"It's been a frustrating weekend for the team as we had the performance to deliver a lot more. Luck has not been on our side here in #germany, but the season is not over yet and anything can happen with four events left to contest.
"It would have been difficult to beat Ott [Tänak], but Sébastien was right on his tail and had the pace to challenge for the win. The puncture denied him and Julien a strong haul of points that would have seen them reduce the gap in the championship, but fourth place and a win in the Power Stage is good damage limitation and proves that we still have what it takes.
"Elfyn too was unlucky this weekend – going off at the same place as Craig [Breen] in an incident which would ordinarily have gone unpunished. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for Elfyn and he was denied an opportunity to fight for the podium.
"Teemu on the other hand has had an absolutely fantastic weekend – bettering everyone's expectations on his first outing with a world #rally car on Tarmac. He is such a fast learner, and you can see how much he takes in over the course of a weekend. It was a great performance, and suggests that he has the potential to be just as impressive on this surface as he is on gravel."
