[Sébastien Ogier @SebOgier]

What a crazy finish to this season! 😲

I'm happy for @ElfynEvans and @scottmartinat. They worked so hard over so many years, and nobody deserves this title more than them. After everything they've done throughout their careers, it's great to see them finally win the title!

Of course, it's hard for @OliverSolberg01 and Elliott right now, but the speed they've shown this season has been impressive and we're all very confident that it's only a matter of time before they become world champions too.

Well done to all of them, and to our team as well. This is the end of an era with these Rally1 cars, and it's definitely been a good one. Thank you to everyone at @TGR_WRC 🙏 It's amazing to work with you and to always be able to count on a fast and reliable car.

Grazie 🫶

[Sébastien Ogier @SebOgier]

A positive day for us, with some stage wins and a better position in the standings tonight. Conditions were more pleasant this afternoon, especially in the first stage, which was less rough and had a harder base. Definitely the one I enjoyed the most in terms of driving!

Still four stages to go tomorrow, including two long ones with some very rough sections where anything can happen. It's not over yet!

🇫🇷 Une journée positive pour nous, avec des scratches et une meilleure position au classement ce soir. Les conditions étaient plus plaisantes cet après-midi, en particulier dans la première spéciale, moins cassante et avec un sol plus dur. Vraiment celle que j'ai le plus aimée en termes de pilotage !

Il reste encore quatre spéciales demain, dont deux longues avec des parties très cassantes où tout peut arriver. Rien n'est fini !

🇮🇹 O/A after day 3:
1. Solberg
2⃣ OGIER +33.6s
3. Pajari +1'39.9

5. Pajari +16.0s

🎙️ "This one was not so enjoyable. It was quite rough in the forest, with a sandy base. But the first one was the nicest stage of the rally - good fun to drive the car! It's been a good loop for us. There are still some long stages to go tomorrow, with rough sections, so nothing is done."

🇫🇷 "Celle-ci n'était pas très agréable. C'était assez cassant en forêt, avec une base sablonneuse. Par contre, la première était la plus belle spéciale du rallye, c'était sympa au volant ! Ça a été une bonne boucle pour nous. Il reste de longues spéciales demain, avec des portions cassantes, alors rien n'est fait."

🎙️ "The wheel keeps spinning since the beginning of the weekend. Let's hope we manage ourselves to stay out of trouble. It was very sandy , some rocks in places. Slippery stage."

🇫🇷 "La roue continue de tourner depuis le début du week-end. J'espère qu'on va nous-mêmes réussir à éviter les ennuis. C'était très sablonneux, avec des pierres par endroits. Une spéciale glissante."

🎙️ "It's the most beautiful stage of the weekend, so we tried to enjoy. A little bit more flow and more speed. Tyres are suffering in there, not so much grip, but we tried to drive clean."

🇫🇷 "C'est la plus belle spéciale du week-end, alors on a essayé de se faire plaisir. Elle est un peu plus fluide, plus rapide. Les pneus souffrent dans celle-ci, il n'y a pas tellement de grip, mais on a essayé de rouler proprement."

The only one who really made the difference this morning was Oliver, he did a great job. As for us, I think we had quite a good pace from our position. Our gap to the lead basically stays the same, so given the cleaning effect, that's not too bad.

This afternoon is likely to be tricky again, as it often is on the second run with the rocks coming out, but we'll do our best.

🇫🇷 Le seul qui a vraiment fait la différence ce matin, c'est Oliver, il a été très bon. De notre côté, je pense qu'on a eu un assez bon rythme compte tenu de notre position. Globalement, l'écart avec la tête est stabilisé, donc au vu de l'effet balayage, c'est plutôt pas mal.

Cet après-midi, ça risque d'être encore difficile, comme souvent au deuxième tour avec les pierres qui ressortent, mais on va faire de notre mieux.

🇮🇹 O/A after SS10:
1. Solberg

4⃣ OGIER +7.5s
5. Pajari +18.5s

🎙️ "We've seen the story all morning, the road is always getting quicker. But I'm happy with my loop, I think it was a good drive. In this one it was tricky to see where to go between the trees. Actually, in one place I had a bit of hesitation. So it wasn't the perfect stage but it was an ok one."

🇫🇷 "On a vu ça toute la matinée, la route est de plus en plus rapide à chaque fois. Mais je suis content de ma boucle, je pense qu'on a bien roulé. Dans celle-ci, c'était compliqué de bien voir où passer entre les arbres. À un endroit, j'ai même un peu hésité. Donc ça n'a pas été une spéciale parfaite, mais ça va."

🎙️ "It was ok. I just had to back off quite a bit in one section because of the dust, probably the same as everyone. I was thinking Sami had stopped or something, because there was a lot of dust."

🇫🇷 "Ça s'est bien passé. Juste, j'ai dû pas mal ralentir à un moment à cause de la poussière, comme tout le monde sans doute. Je me suis demandé si Sami s'était arrêté ou quoi, tellement il y avait de poussière."
