wuqian0821.com:
Henning, how much are you looking forward to the Rally Mexi🔥co and getting back onto gravel?

Henning Solberg:
It is good. We have been testing the car and I 𝔉like it. We will se🌠e when we start the rally though how exactly we get on.

wuqian0821.com:
You showed great pace in Sweden but in the end missed out on a podium. Does th𝓡at make you extra determined to try and do well this weekend?

HS:
Of course. I really need some points.

wuqian0821.com:
What have you made of the Pirelli tyres this year and how have you got on♔ with the new 'Scorpion' gravel tyres that you will use this weekend for the first time?

HS:
It is a good choice with the regulations [having a controജl tyre]. I think the Scorpion is♐ a good tyre. I liked it straight away.

wuqian0821.com:
Is this event going to be✅ any different withou꧟t run-flat mousse?

HS:
Yeah, if we hit something ꦰwe have no air. That is a big problem. But the tyre itself is good൲.

wuqian0821.com:
How much of a benefit is it using the 07 Fo🍨cus this ye🎃ar?

HS:
For♏ me I like it. I really enjoyed using it in Sweden - I have to say that. But I don't know how it will be here until we start the rally.

wuqian0821.com:
How have your pre-event pr♊eparations gone for Mexico?

HS:
It feels very, very good. I have been a little bit sick this lastꦗ day. But now 🎀I am ready to fight again. I feel well now.

wuqian0821.com:
Is the Rally Mexico an event you like?

HS:
I like it. I liked it last year also [despite that roll on♔ day 1]. The rally is꧒ good here.

wuqian0821.com:
Y💃ou finished fifth in Mexico in 2006 and were nint🌞h last year. What sort of result are you aiming for this weekend?

HS:
Top-three. I think my position on the road on Friღday will help m꧅e. It will give me a much better [and cleaner] line.

wuqian0821.com:
What difference if any will it make b👍eing nominated for the Mu🅘nchi's team this weekend as opposed to for the Stobart squad?

HS:
I hope I can get some points for them and th🎐en maybe they can help me with some free ice cream in Argentina and then it will be OK!

wuqian0821.com:
What targets have you set yours♑elf for the yꩵear as a whole?

HS:
I want to do better than last year [when I finished sixth in the drivers' chaওmpionship and scored 34 points - with those two podiums in Norway and Japan]. We will see.
