Exciting day in Suzuka for @SUPER_FORMULA 🇯🇵 First time here for me, such a special place with a lot of racing history.
It's been great to share the emotions of the first win for @ROOKIE_Racing_ - congratulations to @Nirei_Fukuzumi and to all team members!
A cool start to our Japanese trip before switching to WRC 😊
Great to feel the atmosphere @24hNBR today. Congrats to @MaroEngel for the win and to Max for showcasing one more time what an amazing driver he is - in any car!
What's next @Max33Verstappen? Maybe rally like your father? 😜

It was a long week, with very difficult conditions. I think that @vinzzlandais, the whole @TGR_WRC team and I can be very satisfied with the job we've done. Despite the extremely challenging weather, we didn't put a foot wrong all weekend and we showed we had the speed to win the rally. But today, luck wasn't on our side and the victory slipped away because of a puncture.
It's motorsport, sometimes it bites and we can feel that we deserved a bit better. But there isn't much we could have done differently, so we'll keep our heads up, move on quickly and head to Japan with the target of winning.
Thank you to the fans for their incredible support, as always! 🙏

P5 in the Power Stage and P6 overall 🏁🇵🇹
Quite some bad luck for us today with a puncture in the second-last stage that took us out of the lead. It's part of the game and there was nothing we could do about it, unfortunately.

It's been a good day for us, and I'm especially happy with the afternoon. We wanted to react after losing time in the last stage of the morning and the set-up change at midday helped me push harder in these tricky conditions. At times, it was mostly about survival, but we still tried to do the maximum. The weather for tomorrow remains uncertain and it won't necessarily be any better, so it's definitely not over yet.
🇫🇷 Ça a été une bonne journée pour nous, et je suis content de l'après-midi en particulier. On voulait réagir après avoir perdu du temps dans la dernière spéciale de la matinée et le changement de réglages de ce midi m'a aidé à attaquer plus fort dans ces conditions piégeuses. Par moments, c'était de la survie, mais on a essayé de donner le maximum malgré tout. La météo reste incertaine pour demain et elle ne sera pas forcément meilleure, donc ça n'est clairement pas terminé.

🇫🇷 "L'après-midi a été incroyable avec ces conditions. Je suis bien content qu'on ait terminé, c'était très exigeant. Et ici, c'est plein malgré cette météo de dingue : ce sont des vrais fans ! On n'a pas le meilleur spectacle à leur offrir, on n'a absolument aucun grip dans la boue."

🇫🇷 "Il fallait que je réponde, cette spéciale avait été un désastre ce matin ! Les conditions n'avaient probablement pas aidé, et cette fois ça a été le contraire.
