Prodrive sad to see Sordo go
Prodrive WRC Team principal Dave Wilcock has admitted he is sad to see Dani
Sordo leave the squad.
Prodrive WRC Team 经理 Dave Wilcock 对 Sordo 离开一事感到伤心
Sordo was confirmed as Citroen driver for next season by the French firm this
morning.

Soon after Citroen’s decision was made public, Wilcock paid tribute to Sordo,
who departs the British team at the end of the year. Sordo has driven for
Prodrive for the last two years, collecting all three of the MINI WRC’s
podiums.
在雪铁龙宣布消息后,Dave Wilcock 赞扬在年底离开车队的 Dani Sordo。
Sordo 在 Prodrive 在过去的两年里代表MINI上过三次颁奖台。
“Dani is one of the top drivers in the WRC and after his stunning performance
in Spain last weekend, I am not at all surprised that Citroen have snapped him
up,” said Wilcock.
“ Dani Sordo 是WRC顶级车手之一以及在西班牙站的惊人表现,我对他回归雪铁龙一事
一点都不感到惊讶,” Wilcock 说
“It’s been a pleasure working with him over the last two years and his
experience has been invaluable to the development of the MINI WRC. Just as
importantly, behind the scenes he got on very well with everyone in the team
and whenever we were running two cars he was a great team-mate and not a rival.
Although we have faced many challenges, Dani always remained positive and loyal
to the team and I am only sad that we could not have given him his first win. I
know that he wanted to secure his first WRC victory in the MINI and had we been
able to confirm a full programme for him in 2013, I am sure he would have
stayed with the team.”
“在过去两年与他的合作非常愉快,他的经验对MINI WRC的研发上是非常宝贵的。
同样重要的是,在幕后他对每个人都相处得非常融洽,而且每当我们出两辆车的时候
他是一位伟大的队友,而不是对手。
虽然我们面临着许多挑战,Dani Sordo 始终对团队保持积极和忠诚,我唯一伤心的是
我们不能给他在WRC的第一场胜利。
我知道他想确保他在MINI的首胜,我们能够为他确认在2013年的完整计划
,我相信他会想要待在我们团队。”
