M-Sport deals for Neuville, Novikov
Thierry Neuville and Evgeny Novikov have joined the Qatar M-Sport World Rally
Team for the 2013 FIA World Rally Championship.

Neuville, from Belgium, and Russian Novikov will contest all 13 rounds of next
year’s series in a pair of Ford Fiesta RS WRCs. They will partner Norway’s
Mads Ostberg, the team’s other ever-present driver, with Qatari Nasser
Al-Attiyah tackling seven rounds.
Neuville 跟 Novikov 将会跟 Ostberg 一起在 M-Sport 出征整赛季
而 Nasser Al-Attiyah 则会出赛七场
While Novikov has been an M-Sport driver since 2011, Neuville switches from the
rival Citroen team, where he represented the make’s Junior Team and
Qatar-backed efforts in 2012.
Novikov 从2011年就于 M-Sport 队中，而 Neuville 从敌队转过来
“Both Evgeny and Thierry were strong candidates since negotiations began,”
said M-Sport head Malcolm Wilson. “They are young, but they have both shown
some real maturity this year, combining obvious speed with a determination to
finish all of the events and gain as much knowledge of the stages as possible.
Both have regularly challenged the factory drivers, and their 2012 results were
thoroughly deserved. I am confident that both drivers have more to prove and
that we will see more impressive performances from them in 2013.”
M-Sport 经理 Malcolm Wilson 表示:“从谈判开始，他们就是巩固的候选者”
“他们年轻但他们都表现出实在的成熟，结合明显的速度与完成所有赛事的决心，并尽可
能在比赛中获得更多的知识。他们都经常挑战厂队车手，而且他们在2012年的成绩真正实至
名归。我相信两位车手可以有更多机会证明我们将看到他们在2013年更令人印象深刻的表
现。”
Wilson added: “We have a young team for next year, but this by no means
detracts from their ability to produce some strong results. All of them, Mads,
Evgeny and Thierry, proved their worth in 2012 and, with guidance from Nasser,
they can all be fantastic ambassadors for Qatar, M-Sport and the WRC.”
“明年我们有一支年轻的车队，但这绝不会是削弱他们的能力来产生些有力的成绩。
Ostberg, Novikov 跟 Thierry都在2012年证明自己的价值，而在 Al-Attiyah 的指导下，
他们都可以成为Qatar, M-Sport与WRC中梦幻般的大使。”
