“I don’t think I have yet understood that I have won the championship, as it is very heavy. It has been a mentally difficult weekend. Last year it looked very similar (with WRC2 title on the line in Chile) and there was a rock in the line and there was no rock in the line this year. You definitely need luck.

“This championship (WRC2) is what we always knew that we can do and this is a final relief, but the WRC victory (in Estonia) that was something we had not yet dreamed and to do, it was a crazy feeling.

“I really hope that we can try and get something together and get a good plan for the next year and hopefully WRC will have a complete season. I think we have done everything we can do and now we just have to do everything we can try and join a top team.”
