Utdrag av det viktigste:
Names like Gigi Galli and P-G Andersson have been linked to drives with your team. Are you planning on running both of your C4 World Rally Cars on some events?
"No, I will not rent out the C4 to anybody else. I'm not planning that at all. If somebody wants to join me this year they're going to have to rent the Xsara. I currently have two Xsaras, but I'm going to sell one. I will keep the other because it's such good fun to drive."
But presumably Loeb's factory team C4 will have evolved again this year?
"After what Citroen have said I don't think there will be a big difference between the cars that Sebastien and I will drive this year. We will find out, but I don't think so. I believe I have got a good package from Citroen, with good support and good planning so I'm very happy."
So can you win this year's Drivers' World Championship?
"That is the plan. We want to be right up there fighting for the title with Sebastien and Mikko. That's the reason we've worked so hard to get this car and why we're working so hard to get enough budget to fight."
Apart from the car, how else has team Solberg evolved since 2009?
"Personally I'm working hard to be in the best physical shape. I'm fitter than ever and doing everything I can to improve. Phil [Mills, co-driver] is training hard as well and is losing some weight to try and keep up! Looking at the team, the most significant change is that my chief engineer Francois Xavier Demaison is working for me now, full time, rather than for Citroen Racing.
"FX has full responsibility for the car. Ken Rees remains team manager but FX is in charge of everything technical including all the mechanics and the performance of the car. For now, we're working hard to get the cars prepped and ready. I want to get testing as soon as possible. We can't do more than we're doing, but we have to push very hard now if we're to have a chance of winning."
Høres imponerende ut og jeg håper inderlig at Petter får muligheten til å være med å sloss helt i toppen!
