Solberg: My crazy weekend in Portugal
On Rally of Portugal, Petter Solberg and Ford went from having a perfect shot at winning, to crashing out, to finishing in fourth, and to then being elevated to a podium finish. He recounts his crazy weekend to AUTOSPORT
Do you remember that moment when you were really young and you fell over? One minute, you were running along and everything was perfect. The next minute you were lying on the floor wondering: "How did that happen?" I had that feeling on the Rally of Portugal last week.
How did that happen? How did we end up down a bank on the outside of a simple enough right-hander? It was crazy, just such a silly thing. I still can't believe it.
