Sebastien Loeb’s crash in his own words

Sebastien Loeb has returned the Service Park in Loutraki and has spoken about the crash on SS7 that took him out of the rally.

Loeb said: “It was my fault. It happened after I went around a high-speed right-hand corner, I was bit too sideways then the hit a big stone with the left-hand front wheel and that sent the car into the air. The car rolled over five or six times.

“The car is destroyed. There’s no chance to return tomorrow - the race is over. We are okay, that’s the main thing.”

After two uncharacteristically disappointing rallies, Loeb said his hopes of a record sixth consecutive world title were still very much alive. “Yes we might have lost a lot of championship points but we are still leading - and that’s an important point,” he said.

“Maybe my lead will be less, and that will make it more exciting for some people. It’s bad for Citroen, but that’s the race. We’ll do better next time...” he added.
