And yet, he said he had accelerator problems!

No way ! I did not believe that story for one second. And as Nicolas said, it is now easy to interpret what Ogier said: when he is not the fastest, he always has excuses. And when he has a real problem, he slams his door and goes away without answering questions.

Nicolas Gilsoul draws a balance sheet more than positive. Of course, he would have preferred to win and have dinner with the prince. "When you find yourself at the start of the last stage with 4 tenths behind the leader, you tighten your harness twice and of course you believe it. We left very quickly. But, unlike Ogier who had hardened his car, we were perhaps set a bit too soft in suspensions. The tires quickly overheated. But we did not make a mistake. "No regret, then. It would not even be fair to claim that Friday's mistake cost them the victory. "Yes, we could say that, but we would have lost much more than 19 seconds if the first stage of this second stage had not been canceled. So in the end, Ogier did not steal it. "But the Frenchman has been tricky again. Did the Belgian crew really believe in their accelerator concerns? "Are you kidding or what? As soon as he does not have the best time, he has a problem. We know him. When he has a real worry, he slams his door and says nothing. The truth is, we both drove 110% and got hot on the buttocks. "At the end of the day, there's only one winner.

Did Citroen not have the same problem last season?
That was the first thought I had when I heard the complaint from Ogier.
Breen and Mads complained about it at stage end a few time towards the end of last season? or am I gone mad?

Found quote from Breen SS10 in Aus
(11 - Breen Craig / Martin Scott): The throttle was sticking open, every time I pressed the brake it was nosing the car on. Really, really horrible I don't know what the hell it is. Try and get it fixed before the next one.
