Sebastien Ogier comments: “The team told me at the finish line that I had missed the title by one point because Mikko had a problem. I tried my best. The most important thing is that we did another perfect rally and we thought it was OK for the title, but it can’t be written down yet. When you do a perfect job like that you expect to get it, but it’s going to happen soon.”
