Ford Vehicle

I’d like to hope it is better and at the moment we are leading both the manufacturers’ world championship and the drivers’ world championship [in the end Ford won the manufacturers’ again, but Marcus Gronholm lost out in the drivers’ championship – ed]. I’d like to hope we manage to get one or two of those titles. But you have to be careful. Like McLaren showed in Formula 1 this year it is very difficult to win a championship. Anything can happen at the last minute. You have to be very careful.

But the car has won, I have lost count of how many rallies, because Mikko Hirvonen has just won Rally Japan over the weekend and we had five Focus’ in the top seven there. The car has proven it is fast on everything because we have won on snow, on rough gravel and nearly on tarmac too. It has been very reliable. We haven’t had any retirements yet this season - and touch wood there are two rallies to go and if it keeps going that well we should have a very good season.
