Francois Duval thought he drove well in Catalunya but expects to do better in Corsica where he promises to go flat out. Whether it's enough to worry Citroen we will have to wait and see but he should be closer at any rate.

Duval's analysis of Catalunya:

The team forced me to give the podium place to Mikko Hirvonen. But despite that I had a very good rally. It was a good weekend for me and I'm happy to be back in the Ford team. I made no mistakes and suffered no punctures and this has given me real confidence for next weekend's rally in Corsica.

This isn't my favourite asphalt event because the surface is too pure and too smooth, like driving on a motorway at times. However, I found a good set-up for my Focus, my pace was consistent and I enjoyed the tougher and more slippery roads yesterday. I'm going to go at the limit in Corsica now."
