Any thoughts on Petters Comments to Big Howie at the finish of Margham 2 ? Was he intimating that he hd been `instructed` not to push on the last day, ensuring a new DS3 next year??? Or am I just a sad old Rallying synic?

"..everyone wanted a Solberg victory - even, as it turned out, Loeb’s Citroen boss Olivier Quesnel"

Was Quensel atually quoted as saying that, or was it just reported that way? Still doesnt answer the question why Petter said what he said???? Not trying to float conspiricy theories around. Just thought it was an interesting comment, which possibly he needn`t have said.

I haven't heard the interview, anyone that can give a quick essence? Would be interesting to hear.

Q: some people say you backed off to secure a ds3 for next year.
PS: I backed off all day.

but just before he was saying that he was pushing very hard and how glad he is to be 3rd overall in championship.

on s4c co uk check last day report at 20:50, probably only for uk users.

and also I now remember PS being a little puzzled where he lost 2.8s to Loeb in Margam Park 1. See comments after stage finish on onboard footage. So he was pushing.
Having 2nd thoughts on this, I think he was just fed up with conspiracy theories and being asked whether he is allowed to win etc...

I haven't seen or heard the actual quote by Quesnel, but I don't find it too surprising. It would create a massive PR exposure compared to Loeb taking his xxx win, both for Citroen and WRC in general.

On Petter's interview after Margam; not sure which comment you find strange, but to me they make perfect sense. Since nothing contracted for 2011 he couldn't afford, in respect to sponsors, to go off and lose the 3rd place championship. I think there were some "team" orders in the early season, before the championships were settled, but after that I'm quite sure he 's been free to do what he want.

It’s an enjoyment to watch these videos without a disturbing voice from a commentator. The videos are enjoyment for both eyes and ears.

Not sure, it may be only a bit of dissapointment, not being able beat Loeb
