This was the first gravel rally for me with the new Focus. We tried a number of small things. The car seems to be good, and I am happy with that, but driver mistakes are not good
More Quotes from Marcus Gronholm:
Because I made a mistake in Mexico and scored only one point, I really need to win one of the next two rallies to maintain a strong championship position.Marcus Gronholm
It was a good fight until yesterday night, Loeb was very good here. We have won this rally many times and I'm happy for that. Today we had to be cautious not to hit any stones or holes which could do damage to the car, it was not fun to drive the last stages.
Marcus Gronholm
I didn't expect to win. It's a new car, it's a fantastic result. I thought I could win before the last stage, not earlier. Everything is possible. We had our problems this morning. I was expecting Sebastien will be closer but I knew it would be a good fight here, I was sure about that. Petter had so many troubles in this rally, he couldn't show his speed. We have to wait for Mexico to see what he can do.

Peugeot, Citroen, Skoda and Mitsubishi are not competing as official manufacturer teams in the championship this year and that is a pity.
Marcus Gronholm
My speed was not fantastic, I'm not happy with that, but I'm happy with the win. I was afraid on the slicks on the snow and ice, it's not comfortable. Anything is possible on this rally.
Marcus Gronholm
The conditions are awful, I hate them. I have been driving like my grandmother. Still, it's my first time out with Ford and I'm leading the Monte Carlo rally ... that's not so bad.

Based on Topics: Cars Quotes, Error & Mistake QuotesI knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will.
