Sordo of Damocles
Citroen's Dani Sordo under pressure to improve his performance in his WRC. David Evans wonders whether the young Spaniard is up to the task
Who'd have thought Neneh Cherry and Dani Sordo would have had so much in common? Actually, they don't. Just the one thing, really: seven seconds. Neneh sang it. Dani's stuck on it.
Seven seconds. And no wins. Is that surprising for a driver who has 'only' contested 41 World Rally Championship rounds in a World Rally Car? Yes and no. Forty-one isn't a vast amount of experience at this level - but all of those rallies have been at the wheel of a factory car (let's not pretend his 2006, Kronos-run Xsara was anything else).
