The eight-time world rally champion has been deemed fit to make his World Rally Championship comeback after road traffic accident
Sebastien Ogier has no concerns over his fitness ahead of a return to World Rally Championship competition this weekend after a recce crash ruled him out of Poland. The eight-time world champion has made a full recovery from whiplash-related injuries to his neck following a head-on collision with another vehicle while preparing for Rally Poland last month.
The 40-year-old then stepped up his preparations by testing his WRC Rally1 car in Finland last Sunday. “It was not as funny as when he is being Mr Bean, but it's cool to meet him because I've watched him like most of us have at some point in my life and he makes me laugh,” Ogier said of his Goodwood experience with Atkinson. “I told him to keep doing what you do, because laughing is very important as we need that in our life.
