RALLY MONZA

Elfyn Evans insists losing out on the last two World Rally Championship titles to Sebastien Ogier will make him a stronger person for 2022 and beyond.

Sebastien Ogier says winning the final round of the WRC to be crowned champion for an eighth time was “the best way possible” to bring the curtain down on his 16-year partnership with Julien Ingrassia.

Toyota Gazoo Racing has made it a clean sweep of drivers’, co-drivers’ and manufacturers’ titles at the season-ending Rally Monza in Italy.

Sebastien Ogier says that he is perfectly happy “to cruise” to the finish of Rally Monza tomorrow even if it means sacrificing overall victory with Julien Ingrassia.

Toyota Gazoo Racing Team Principal Jari-Matti Latvala admits the fight at the head of the Rally Monza field between Sebastien Ogier and Elfyn Evans is exactly the kind of viewing the sport deserves. 

A confident Sebastien Ogier says the only way he can be denied an eighth World Rally title is if he makes an unforced error over the remaining two days of Rally Monza.

Toyota’s Elfyn Evans fought back on the afternoon leg of Rally Monza to snatch the overnight lead of the event by 1.4 seconds.

Sebastien Ogier says he is relieved to find the set-up woes that slowed him on Rally Spain have been cured for the deciding round of the World Rally Championship.
