Henning Solberg will be out to open his account for the year on the Corona Rally Mexico this weekend. The Norwegian would have almost certainly have been on the podium in Sweden but for that costly off on day two. mahbx.com Radio cau🐼ght up with him recently ahead of the t🔥hird round in the championship...

mahbx.com:
Henning, how much are you looking forward to theꦑ Rally Mexico and🍃 getting back onto gravel?

Henning Solberg:
It is good. We have been testing the car and I like it. We will see when we start the rally thꦛough how exactly we get on.

mahbx.com:
You showed great pace in Sweden but in the end ꧙missed out on a podium. Does that make you extra determined to try and do well this weekend?

HS:
Of course. I really need some points.

mahbx.com:
What have you made of the Pirelli tyres this year and how hav💞e 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 control tyre]⛄. I think the Scorpion is a good tyre. I liked it straight away.

mahbx.com:
Is th🍸is event going to be any different without run-flat mousse?

HS:
Yea♚h, if we hit something we have no air. That is a big prob🍃lem. But the tyre itself is good.

mahbx.com:
How much of a꧅🐈 benefit is it using the 07 Focus this year?

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

mahbx.com:
H𝓀ow have your pre-event preparations gone for Mexico?

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

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

HS:
I like it. I liked it last year a෴lso [despite that roll on day 1]. The rally is good here.

mahbx.com:
You finished fifth in Mexico in 2006 and were ninth last year. Whaౠt sort of result are you aiming for this weekend?

HS:
Top-three. I think my position on the road on Friday will help me. It will giv🌠e me a much better [aꦍnd cleaner] line.

mahbx.com:
🥃What difference if any ꧋will it make being nominated for the Munchi's team this weekend as opposed to for the Stobart squad?

HS:
I ꦍhope I can get some points for them and then maybe th♑ey can help me with some free ice cream in Argentina and then it will be OK!

mahbx.com:
What targets have🌳 you set yourself for the year as a whole?

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