Citroen new boy, Francois Duval has admitted that he is൲ going to have to learn to talk more, in order to 'settle in' at his new te🎉am.

The Belgian, who has had a less than convincing start t🌃o the season, following his move from Ford at the end of 2004, said though that while he 'wasn't accustomed to this way🌳 of working' he would do his best to be more communicative.

"I have taken onboard a lot of🐽 information and I am still discovering certain things," he said, when asked about how he feels with the team.

"The remarkable thing is the way we are looked after. The team is clearly very close to its drivers and very much in demand of information from them. The more we talk, the b🦋etter it is.

"I am not someone who talks a lot n🐠aturally and I'm not accustomed to this way of working. Ho✱wever, I feel I need to communicate much more with the members of the team. I intend to do that and I know I will adapt rapidly."

As for how he needs to go this weekend in Mexico, he knows that he needs a result - after retiring on the Monte Carlo Rally and coming home only 12th in🅰 Sweden.

"It's clear we have to finish [this weekend], and high up,ꦫ" he ad🗹ded.

"That means findඣing the right pace, quick and safe. In Sweden, before losing a lot of time when I was forced to change a wheel following a puncture, I think I found that balance. I hope I can do the same on the loose, that I am spared problems and that I can bring home some valuable points for the team.

"That said, I don't feel under any additional pressure. ✱The pressure t🤪hat comes naturally competing in such a demanding championship is quite enough!"
