Circumstances brought the iconic pairing back together for one weekend, but neither Sebastien Ogier nor Julien Ingrassia expected their Rally Finland campaign to end prematurely in what will likely go down as the biggest scare of the nine-time WRC champion's career.
While leading the rally last Saturday, the pair suddenly left the road and their Toyota ploughed through the trees in a spectacular crash. The impact was severe, but the safety features and strength of the Rally1 car most likely saved the lives of the two Frenchmen, who spent the night in hospital as a precaution. Ogier was the more badly shaken, as Ingrassia revealed.
