Loeb on Kimi
- It's going to be interesting. This is a completely new sport to him so the beginning can be really difficult. He has a lot to learn but when taking his know-how into consideration I believe that he will adapt quite quickly, Loeb said in the French Sports.fr interview.
- I don't think that Kimi is better on tarmac just because he comes from F1, especially when Finns usually are good on gravel. Anyway, it's my pleasure to welcome him to the team, Loeb continued.

Sebastien Loeb thinks that Kimi Räikkönen will achieve good results already during his debut season in WRC.
Loeb promises to advice the newbie under one condition.
- If he needs and asks for advice, of course I'll give them to him. As long as he doesn't beat me.
According to Loeb the biggest challenge for Kimi will be learning the pace notes and also trusting in them. Yet his pace in F1 and rally-trials have convinced even Loeb.
- We saw in Finland's rally that he can drive fast. Despite his minor experience I believe that he can drive good rallies, Loeb assures.
The other newbie, Ken Block, is familiar to Loeb from his trick-videos.
- And wow, they are great. He has succeeded well on his videos but I can't say how he will succeed in WRC.
ps: Kinda funny MR.Loeb !
