Sebastien Ogier says he's 'getting stronger' after third WRC title
Sebastien Ogier has delivered bad news for his rivals in the wake of securing his third World Rally Championship title - the Frenchman thinks he's still getting quicker
The Volkswagen driver became just the fourth driver in the WRC's history to win three titles when he scored his 31st world rally win in Australia last Sunday, but he's already looking to improve.
With three rallies remaining this year, Ogier wants to finish 2015 in perfect style.
"For me, we are just getting stronger and stronger," he said.
"I don't know if we're on the top, but probably we are close to it. I would not say I am, I don't want to be arrogant in this moment.
"I keep thinking, 'what I can make better and what can I improve?'
"I still have doubts, but this is only human - it's important to have that doubt, it helps to make yourself better.
"It's difficult to make a better one than this season and the target is to keep it at this level.
"After 10 rounds this has been the perfect season so far: no major mistake with Julien [Ingrassia] and only a single, small technical problem in the car - this is nothing in motorsport.
"For now, we can only think about making the statistics better and keeping this level until the end of the season.
"My target is to finish the season with no mistakes. I don't think this has ever been done, three races to go..."
The WRC returns to Europe for the next round, the returning Tour de Corse, which starts on October 1.
