Ogier considering the title push WRC 2025 despite the partial campaign

Sebastian Ogier It is said that he will be interested in a world rally championship title dialect and will consider doing more programs if his impressive partial campaign continues.

The eight-time world champion has enjoyed a stellar season to record three wins (Monte Carlo, Portugal, Sardinia) and two runner-up Finnish (Canary Islands, Greece), which he has contested so far.

Despite the disappearance of three incidents, the Ogier is third in the championship, 21 points back from the championship leader Oat Tanak And scored 28 points per round. Ogier’s difference for the championship leader is seven points low at this point in the last year season.

While the Ogier says that his priorities are to help Toyota instead of bidding for the ninth world title, his success this year means that he is not yet ruling the possibility of the championship fight if his form is going on.

The Ogier’s partial 2024 campaign rose to 10 rounds last year when Toyota asked French to assist the manufacturer’s championship expectations, which eventually won the eighth constructive crown by the Japanese car manufacturer.

Next to this week’s rally Finland, Ogier said, “It is true that I think (for the championship lead) recalling three rallies. It is true that we have to keep an eye on how the situation will develop,” This week’s rally ahead of Finland said – Ogier said – which marks its sixth start of the year.

“I am honest, fighting for the championship is not my priority otherwise I will be full -time there. I know that my chance to win it, remembering some rallies, is very small.

“Everything is to run completely throughout the year, and it has been the case till now and the average of 28 points has been amazing after five rallies. If we can take to this level, we can get a chance to fight for it, but it will not be easy.

“I will be with a calm head, but I will do my best and what can I say if we are very close and if we manage to come close then I cannot say that I would not be interested in fighting for it.

“If we manage to maintain such strong points every weekend, yes we will consider doing more events at the end of the year.”

Ogier can be offered a fast end in Finland at the end of this week after sitting outside the rally Estonia once again, which was claimed by Toyota rally 1 debutant Oliver solberg Two weeks ago.

The French says that the Toyota team is searching for different set-up directions after Solberg’s supremacy in Estonia.

“I think it’s not surprising that the whole team is trying to find out the things that Oliver has done in Estonia, because they had a very impressive performance. From one driver to another, we don’t always want the same thing,” said Ogier.

“I discovered it in the test and liked it, but here I could not really feel really (in the shakedown of Thursday). We had to make a compromise that still has some effect from what has done in Estonia.”
