Sébastien Ogier will only compete part-time in the World Rally Championship from 2022, and as long as he is able to win races, he will continue to do so in the future, but the eight-time world champion also knows that young talent awaits him. Line at the doors of factory teams.
Although Sébastien Ogier no longer plans to fight for the World Cup title, the eight-time world champion will continue his career part-time as long as he is able to fight for victory.
“I haven’t thought yet when I will retire,” Ogier told Belgian radio RTBF. “As long as I can continue my current performance and fight to win the race, I would like to continue racing part-time.”
He is the second most successful competitor in rallying, but he also knows that young people are already lining up at the doors of factory teams.
He added: “Competitors always sign a one-year contract with Toyota, so it is impossible to know how long there will be a place for me. In rallying, experience is important, but the future must also be taken into account. At the moment, there are not many Rally1 cars. “In the WRC field, so maybe a young competitor could take my place one day. It would be better if there were more factory cars, because then young and experienced drivers could fit together.”
