“I didn't want to get at all involved in the battle with Petter and Marcus because I would have been very annoyed with myself if I'd gone off as a result of me chasing them and then making a mistake.”
“Now I've won the championship for the second time, I think I can say it feels as good as when I did it last time. Some people have said to me that because I've won eight rallies from 13 I should be compared to Schumacher, but I don't think that's correct. I think winning seven championships in rallying is more difficult than in Formula 1, and - at the moment - I have no plans. My priority is just to drive next year and to try and do what I enjoy. Winning rallies.”
“Of course I'm very disappointed to have made the mistake on Friday that dropped us down to eighth overall - especially for the team. I can only blame myself.”
