Regaining that winning feeling
It was not a Petter Solberg win on Rally GB, but Ford returned to the top of the podium for the first time in months and, as the Norwegian explains, it was a huge boost for the team
We won! OK, it wasn't Chris [Patterson, co-driver] and I who won, but Jari-Matti [Latvala] and Miikka [Anttila, co-driver] did. Fantastic! What a fantastic feeling in the team. You know, to hear the boys - and girls - cheer again, for the first time in too many rallies was so special.
