WRC review: Loeb rocks them one more time
Nine wins and a ninth straight drivers' championship crown capped another dominant season for the 'retiring' Sebastien Loeb. David Evans looks back on a 2012 season in which the Frenchman was once again peerless
Time after time, Sebastien Loeb has paid his dues. And, for the ninth time in succession, with his friend and co-driver Daniel Elena alongside, they can sing the song. They really are the champions. And always will be.
Nine times. Amazing. Astonishing. Brilliant. Actually, better than all that.
If he fancied, Loeb could go on. In all honesty, nobody has the power to challenge him, Elena and Citroen next season. Or maybe even in 2014. But Loeb has thrown his own towel in. He's submitting to his success and giving the rest of the world a chance and himself a change.
