Paddon

"Great day to maintain P2 & extend the gap behind us. We were advantaged by road conditions on 1 stage that helped us close up on Sebastien for the lead - but it's a battle we were never drawn into. We have been happy to continue at our pace as 2nd would still be a great result. In the future we will fight more for that win but a little more work needed on my driving and car setup before that - but we not far away Emoticon wink. 1 more stage tomorrow to try & bring it home."

In my opinion he is the most clever driver of WRC. I don't know how many others, with their first rally win at 8 secs, would not have thrown their car into some trees...
