Rally Poland has been run and won by Sebastien Ogier taking his tally to five wins from seven races held this year. Volkswagen also took out the second place on the podium with Andreas Mikkelsen finish 1 minute 7 seconds adrift, rounding out the podium was the Hyundai of Thierry Neuville a further 1 minute 6 seconds behind Mikkelsen.
First place getter Ogier said ““It’s just brilliant – this win was an important one in the world championship stakes! Julien and I had a perfect rally here in Poland. The stages were incredibly quick – and the huge numbers of fans along the way were simply brilliant. As a driver, you can enjoy every single kilometre. On the final day today, there were some wonderful stretches again where I had to force myself not to go at full pelt. Because obviously we didn’t want to jeopardise our lead too much. I’d like to say a huge thank-you to my team, who provided me with a perfect car every day. The Polo R WRC is simply a great car to drive. You can hurtle through the forest at 200 km/h and everything works like Swiss precision clockwork.”
Volkswagen Polo R WRC #9 driver Mikkelsen said “Second place and my second podium finish in the WRC – it’s a great result. It was an honour for me to battle it out with the reigning world champion for the top spot for so long. I didn’t manage to beat him and take the lead in the end, but my aim is still to one day stand on the top step of the winners’ rostrum. We will endeavour to gradually improve to the levels of Sébastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala – and we took a big step in that direction here in Poland. For now, though, I’m going to celebrate the fact that I came second and recognise what we achieved this weekend. I really enjoyed the special stages. They were fast and smooth – and that’s the kind of driving I like.”
Neuville said: “It has been a positive weekend for us and I am pleased with the podium result. To come back from tenth place, where we were at the end of Friday, to third is a great achievement. This rally is hard. You have to find your confidence, and once you have that you can be really fast. It has been a great job from the entire team this weekend. We have worked really well together to tackle the rally in a calm and focussed way. It is a very nice result to have all three cars finish a WRC event for the first time.”
The WRC events moves to Northern Europe with the Rally Finland on July 31st.
