Transcript of the post event press conference organised by the FIA for the 2016 Rallye Deutschland.

Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia powered to a second consecutive victory in Rallye Deutschland, Volkswagen’s home round of the FIA World Rally Championship.

Reigning FIA World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier has pulled ahead of his Rallye Deutschland rivals to top the leaderboard by 33.4 seconds during a day characterised by changing weather and tricky tyre choices. He heads team-mate Andreas Mikkelsen, and Hyundai’s Dani Sordo inched into the final podium position in the closing stage after a titanic battle with Thierry Neuville.

Andreas Mikkelsen, Sébastien Ogier and Thierry Neuville top the standings in Rallye Deutschland amid a tight fight for honours in the ninth round of the FIA World Rally Championship. The battling trio are split by just 5.9 seconds after nearly 100 kilometres of competition over the narrow and bumpy lanes of the Mosel vineyards.

Volkswagen Polo R WRC driver Andreas Mikkelsen has taken the early lead in Rallye Deutschland, the Norwegian 2.7 seconds ahead of Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville. Sébastien Ogier, who headed the field after the first stage, has dropped to third by the mid-leg service.
