Rally GB leaders
Rally GB looks to be heading Petter Solberg's way, but Sunday shake-ups in the last three events mean that he shouldn't start preparing for any trophies just yet. But Sebastien Loeb seems to think he'll need some good fortune on the morrow. Here's what the top four drivers had to say on Saturday evening
It's hard to say the championship is wrapped up, and you can't say how things will go tomorrow. Today I hit a massive hole on the last stage and I almost thought it was over: you never know how quickly your rally can be finished. But it was an incredible day today. I am very, very happy so far.
Conditions were very good today except for the last stage, which was terrible. That was bad, very bad.
It's not over till the finish line and anything can happen. I am still going to push tomorrow and do exactly what I've done today. I just have to cross my fingers and try hard.
Today we tried to keep a good speed and to keep on the road. That's the most important for the moment because we are fighting for the manufacturers' championship. I think I had a good drive today. To go as fast as Petter would have involved big risks, so I prefer to drive the way I feel comfortable.
A rally is never over till it's over. We saw that in Catalunya where I had a 50-second lead with 3 to go but with a mistake in tyre choice everything changed. In my position, though, I can only wait and see what happens tomorrow.
I've enjoyed this battle very much. Its been a very good fight.Tomorrow will be very tight and I must say that I've had no feeling about this being my last rally. That hasn't been in my mind at all. It's been 100 percent concentration.
The car is working properly again. I feel confident in it and it's always nice to be having a battle, especially with Tommi. In all the years we've competed together we've never had a battle go right to the end. So that's in the back of my mind - I don't want to make a mistake, or the Citroen boss won't be too happy! Like Seb says we've got to think of the manufacturers' title but I would also like to beat Tommi.
